"Less" to lose?

I am seeing such amazing results in a lot sleevers who post here. I've actually been in awe while looking at some before and after photos! We love to see these so keep posting them!

The most dramatic and inspiring stories are those with > 100 pounds to lose. It's really quite amazing. However I was wondering about those who have a little less?

I'm estimating that I have about 80 pounds to lose. When I first started a year ago it was more like 130! I've been fortunate to be able to get around 50 pounds off before in the last year while I was considering surgery.

Tell me what your experiences have been with a BMI < 40! (My current BMI is about 39 now)

I am wondering the same thing! I have about 70 lbs to lose.

I had surgery 1/15 starting weight 232 I have lost 5o lbs. I still have 50 lbs. to lose. I am 5'5 don't know my Bmi.

My BMI was 39 when I had surgery. I have lost over 80lbs in 5 months. Just over 20lbs to go :) If I was you I wouldnt worry about rate of loss though! Your body pretty much dictates how much and when.

Thanks! I'm not so much worried about the rate. It's just that I'm 5,9 and have a large build. My suggested ideal weight is 150-175. I have never ever been lower than 200 (and maybe 220!) in my adult life so I have no idea what to shoot for. I'm saying 175 and going from there.

I was sleeved March 1 I had about 80 to lose!! I am at 25!! I think our bodies help with the rate ! As long as you are working the tool!!

Back in the day I was 5'10 and weighed 175 and that's my goal now too. I wasn't heavy but had a nice shape and it looked good on my build. I did have a little tummy so I could have lost some of that but I say shoot for 175 and see how you feel at that point you can always adjust from there and drop more. Good luck!
