I am 5'8" and my starting weight was 289. I was sleeved on 8/26/13. I currently weigh 208. My surgeons goal for me is 200lbs. My personal goal is 160.
I am hoping to hit 199 for New Years.
I am still losing between 2.5 and 3.5 lbs a week. If I can keep this pace by spring I'll hit goal. I really do not want to get below 160 because of my large frame less than that I start to look gaunt.

You know you've lost weight when:
Your Spanx that were too small that made you feel like a sausage in them are now way too big. My body shapers are now 4 sizes smaller. I am hoping for the day that I won't feel the need to wear spanx.

When you have to raise the seat in your car because your backside isn't as thick.

I have had many surgeries over the years and the one thing I try never to forget when going into the hospital is........Nail Clippers. There is nothing worse than a broken nail or a hang nail snagging the blankets for a few days.

I just traded in my 2004 Sportster 3 days before Christmas. I bought her brand new off the showroom floor 2 days after getting my MC license. Here it is nearly 10 years later and my husband and I had gone to the HD dealership because we were supposed to be looking for a new leather coat for me for Christmas. My 3W (3X womens) Harley leather is now way too big for me.
When we got to the dealership my hubby tells me that I can have any bike I want and it will be my Christmas present.
I got a 2011 fully loaded fatboy. Woohoo! LUCKY ME! It's been weeks and I still can't wipe the grin off my face. I just hope spring gets here fast. I am up here in New England and I probably won't be able to take her out of the Garage at least for a few more months.....ARGH! But she sure is pretty to look at in the garage.

I had surgery on Aug 26th of 2013. I went from 289 down to 173 by the end of Aug 2014. I have since been sabotaging myself, finding excuses and not doing what I am supposed to be doing. Since August I have put back on 18lbs. I weighed myself this morning and the # is now 190.8lbs. I am so mad at myself.
I've been telling myself for a few weeks now that "today is the day I start back on track" and then I go back to my grazing ways and not utilizing my gym downstairs.
As of this morning I am holding myself accountable!.. I am going back to my Protein shakes, logging in my food and exercise journals everyday on my fitness pall, I'll be picking up a new pedometer today (I can't find mine) and I will not be the statistic and regain after all of the work, heartache, and struggles that I had to overcome. I will not allow myself to go back to the person I was that had major weight related medical issues, no energy, low self esteem etc.
TODAY IS MY NEW DAY!
