I have been lurking here since before my surgery on 4/18/2011. The weight has been coming off steadily, with some stalls here and there. Through the knowledge gained in this group, I've known not to worry about the stalls. When the clothes sizes weren't coming down quickly, I learned that once you pass from plus into regular sizes, the sizes start dropping fast. Again, you all were right.

Today is a victory, so I thought I'd share. This morning the scale read 199.4. Now, I've been waiting for this awhile, hovering every morning, so this isn't a surprise. It's been reading 208 for about 6 weeks now and recently started decreasing again. Even though I knew it was coming, I could not believe my eyes.

I've lost 80# now and have gone from a size 26 down to a 16 (so far!) - all in 6.5 months. To say I feel both mentally and physically great is a gross understatement.

Thanks for all your postings that help me all the time. Here's to the next 25!

Sounds like we are in kinda the same boat.......I wore a size 26 and now am in a 16/8...I have been at 208/207 for a little while now and was sleeved in June.........Im so happy for you that you went under 200............I am waiting for my day too , keep up the good work

I am jealous, getting under 200 pounds might not be in the cards for me. Most guess my weight at about 180 as I am tall and lanky now but the scale knows the truth and I would just like to hop on one morning and get the same surprise you did.

Congrats!

Welcome to the 100's!!! It feels great doesn't it! You are doing so well!
