100 lb club in less than 4 months

[Bbell 7]

I didnt realize there was a forum to the 100lb losers. This is my post from the stories forum.

Hello all, just past my 4 month anniversary since the surgery and am down 112lbs. I am only 22 pounds away from my initial goal. I have since decided to change that goal another 20 to 30 lbs since I am a lot further along than I thought I would be. At my last visit Dr. Myers said my weightloss has been remarkable. That felt good. I have started to get into a pattern of weightloss for a week or so, then level off for a week or so then weightloss again. During my level off periods is when I am fitting into different sizes. I wore a xxl dress shirt yesterday. In July I was wearing 5xl shirts. I no longer have to shop at the big and tall. My selection of clothes now have tripled. And lets not even get to all the energy I have. I mean tons, sometimes I feel restless and just need to burn energy. It is an amazing feeling and a good problem to have. The best thing is I am no longer using a cpap and taking meds any more. My family doctor took me off of them a few weeks ago. I have been on some of them since 1994!

Congrats Bbell!!!!

Wonderful success so far!! I too was one of the "heavy weights " here- I lost 100 pound in less than 4 months as well!

Things do slow down, but am still making good progress!

Isn't it just wonderful- the energy- the "shopping" lol and the HEALTH!

Good luck to you on the rest of your journey!

Congrats brother,

I hope that I can come close to your success. I get sleeved next week on the 29th. I would love to be down a hundred by May 18th, it is my 38th BDay and I want to go home and show off to my Grandma. She is getting up there in the years and I want to show her my healthier self. She is always so worried about me being so heavy. I figure 5 months will to be down a 100 is a good goal, but now I think I will revise that and shoot for 4 months.

Wingrider, that's awesome that you're wanting to show your Grandma your healthier self. I know that will make her very happy. Good luck on both your surgery and your goal!

Holy Moley - 100 pounds in four months?! You guys are amazing. Wing, don't set yourself up for disappointment. 100 pounds in four months is unusual. But you will get to 100 pounds one day.

I am 4 months out and have lost over 100 pounds. I was hanging at around 98 - 99 pounds and then the weight loss started again. I am feeling better every day!

Hi all, well i was sleeved 12/29, and am doing pretty darn good so far. . . have my doctor appt on thursday and will weigh at that time. . . i'm a tall person with a major large bone structure, so for me this weight loss thingy may take years! But then i do have years to work on it right? Rome wasn't built in a day either. . . . good luck to all. . . will keep you all updated soon

Yeah, you are right, I shouldn't even try for such a thing. Whatever. Thanks for your input.

Wingrider-

I don't know your stats...... or how much you have to lose. but IT IS POSSIBLE!! I did it! I NEVER dreamed I would............ but did!! I still have 33 pounds to lose....... I lost most of it within the first 6 months.

But just an FYI.......... most men lose more AND faster than women!! Lucky YOU!! hehehe

Thinoneday-

I wish you all much sucess!!! I know this sounds like a cl'shay...... but.....

" IF I CAN DO IT.............. SO CAN YOU!!!"

Thanks Chancie,

Being a guy and weighing in at 352 prior to pre op diet, I know that 100 pounds in 4 months is very attainable. My true goal weight is 215ish, the Doctor thinks I will wind up in the 190's, I doubt it, plus I hope to have a built up some muscle tone by the time I hit goal. We will see.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and the motivation I gain from how successful you have been.

Wow, this is very inspirational!!! Keep up the GREAT work! I hope to loose 40 more lbs in the next 4-5 months (before my wedding). So it really is attainable I see.
