Well, I've been saying I've lost "about" 100 lbs for a while now, because at ~95 lbs, that's true. But today, I tipped the scale at 229.8, which means that I've lost just OVER 100 lbs since my surgery last May. Huzzah! Plus, it's nice to be in another weight bracket -- the 220's -- again.

And I'm really enjoying clothes that fit (and some attention from the ladies!) All good things. It's going to be a FUN summer!

I should add that my next goal is 226.8. Since I'm averaging about a pound a week at this point, that means that right around early-mid May (almost exactly a year out from surgery), I should achieve the goal of moving from morbidly obese, to obese, to just "overweight" -- according to the BMI charts. Of course, with a BMI of 29.9, that's pushing it, but it still qualifies! Since I'm extremely heavily built (no really, that's not just a euphemism like "big boned" -- genetically, I'm built somewhat like a tank), I doubt that a "normal" BMI weight of 185 lbs is EVER going to happen (I would seriously have to look and be anorexic), but I'll be content with just being "a little overweight." That's good company!

Now I just need to get back into my exercise routine and start packing on some muscle for summer!

Congratulations! I, too, reached my 100 pounds lost mark yesterday after being stuck at 98 for a LONG time. It's an amazing feeling, and it has definitely strengthened my resolve to keep up with my program.

I'm just looking forward to getting on a scale, and not seeing the number 2 on it for the first time since high school...

Best of luck for continued success. Enjoy those new clothes!

Congratulations to you, too. And yes, it IS a great feeling. I know that substantively, there's nothing really different between 95 lbs and 100 lbs, but sometimes that extra digit makes all the psychological difference in the world!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
