I'm wondering what weight people use to celebrate from. I am -thisclose- to being 100lbs down from my heaviest, but I'm not sure if I should wait another 20 lbs beyond that to celebrate my "OH MY GOSH I LOST 100 POUNDS!!!" to get to 100lbs less than my surgery weight. Any ideas or suggestions? What did you do? For the curious folks in the back, I am 5'10", 25 years old, my highest weight was probably 330lb, surgery weight was 310lb, I now weigh 237.5lbs. I am 5 months out from my 11/16/2013 sleeve.

congrats--celebrate both!

Congrats! I say celebrate EVERY time. Lol i celebrate ask the time, mostly because i have a hard time liking ANYTHING about my body though. Btw you had your surgery on my daughter's bday, just a cure realization.

I'm getting close to that Mark now too. I started off at 275 and I'm 197 as of this morning. People are starting to ask me how much weight I've lost and i say "just a bit... about the same as my kids combined" seeing as how i have a 4 year old and a 1 year old people's mouths drop open. Lol

I go with total weight.. my pre-op loss was due to the diet for the surgery so it's part of the process imo. but celebrate every goal you want.. I made a bunch of mini goals and set some as milestones.. It just makes me feel better to do a happy dance more often.

Total weight. I m celebrating today 100 pounds gone!!!

The weight control center I go to goes by the weight the day of surgery.

I vote for celebrating EVERY pound lost!

Oops! Double post!

Total weight is what I counted. I lost 22 lbs pre-op, but I count them in my total loss. I would have never kept it off without surgery.

That's a REALLY good point. Same here, I'm sure!

Waiting to welcome you to the century club in 8 little pounds!

Celebrate now & keep doing what you've been doing! 5 months & 100 lbs - that is very motivating for those of us just starting this journey. Kudos!!

Congrats
