Where do you stand?

No matter where you are on your journey, could you share some body stats? If not your current stats, then where you started?

I sometimes see people becoming discouraged if someone is losing faster, or someone who weighs the same as they do can wear a smaller size.

I think it will help to see that everyone is DIFFERENT, we all carry our weight differently, and height makes a difference. Muscle mass and gender make a HUGE difference.

Feel free to update as your size changes.

I'm 4'11.5. Started out at 275. Was sleeved 10/24 and down 20lbs this morning from pre op diet. So 3 weeks.

I'm 4'11"

The highest weight in February 2014 : 228 lbs

At the date of surgery : 209 lbs (clothes size 1X/ 2X or 18/20)

Now I'll be 4 months out in a few days: 161 lbs down 67 lbs total (48 lbs since surgery)

Clothes size M/L (10-12)

I was 223 lbs at my highest.....I am 5'3"

3 years post op (as of October) and have been at my goal weight of 138 for 2 years

I am 61 years old, feel 35

Can hardly remember being fat. I feel, eat, think, live my life as a thin person.

But the two photos below (taken exactly a year apart) are a good reminder to keep me on track. It isn't so hard really. It has been a very fun, exciting adventure!

Congrats and thanks...you are in inspiration. And I discovered that my greatest motivator is my before picture...yuck!
