I HAVE LOST 55 POUNDS



Recommended Posts

YES I am still overweight but the weight is coming off! I am so happy because I am smaller right now than I was 4 years ago. I am happy because I no longer have to take my insulin resistance medication. I am happy because even though I am not shopping in the petite section, I can actually find my size in some stores.

In March I was a size 28 womens or 4x, now in July I am a size 22-24 or 2x. My Husband says that I am "HOT", and I think more of my appearance now because i wanna keep getting those compliments!

Surgery Day: April 11 (Lapband with Gastric Plication)

Starting Weight 355

Target Weight 145

Current Weight 300

Band Fill 3.5cc

Since getting surgery, I have become more active because I go to the gym 3 times a week and I see a fitness coach and a dietician. Everyone is amazed at the weight loss. I feel so much better and I have a pep in my step! I am hoping that I could lose about 20 more pounds before christmas.Even though I am still 150 pounds away from my goal, I am one step closer! Wish me luck! Anyway, I just wanted to tell someone that I lost 55 pounds.

You can do that easy by Christmas. I had my surgery April 4th and am now down 80 pounds (I know I need to fix my ticker) I am hoping to hit 100 by my birthday in October! It is a lot of work, I work out 5 days a week and ride my bike almost everyday. I started out a size 26 and am now down to a 18 and some 16's! It is hard not to look at the plus size clothes, you will be their soon too! congrats and keep up the good work.

I have a feeling you're going to lose way more than 20 pounds by Christmas. I started out right about the same place you did and lost 85 pounds the first 8 months. You're already 10 pounds ahead of where I was at the same point. You're doing great. Keep up the good work!

Hi Cindy and Brenda,

Thanks for the encouraging words, and Brenda I hope to be 100 pounds down before the end of the year too. I guess that I didn't want to set myself up for failure. I hope that you make it, at your rate of weight loss I am sure that you will. I just want to shop anywhere with out having to search for the plus size section every time. My goal is to be a size 10, and I will get there.

Thanks :)

In about 50 more pounds down, I may see myself as a Hottie :lol: I will keep everyone posted. The next 50 lbs will be even better. And yes, m hubby is my rock and I love that even when I was my heaviest he has Never once called me FAT. For that is the reason for my success because I have someone that is always checking on my progress every step of the way.

Thank You,

FeFe

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
