Every day i wonder and day dream of how i would look if i lost enough weight to weigh under 200..even in my teen years i was 210-215..now im 256...not a real big weight gain after 20 years and 2 kids. Does any else think of the same thing?

I do! Been over 200 for 20 years.

I see you had surgery already, how much do you weigh now?

Me!!! I've been over 250 for at least 12 years and I'm only 29! I have 21 pounds until 199! I'm so excited!

I've been over 200 pounds since high school, which has been 23 years. I'm now at 223... Only twenty four pounds to go to be under ... I've been stuck here for awhile, but I know I will get there!

I have been over 200 plus plus for over 40 years. I am finally to 209 and am sabatosing myself with the wrong foods and can't seem to get those 9 lbs off. Why am I doing this? Why can't I let myself succeed? Antone else feel this way?

I would love to help..but i am no there yet...i joined a WLS group on FB and they put up a article about slider foods and its the main reason why people stall and dont lose weight..it was very informative..

I totally understand, I to feel like I'm sabotaging myself, I don't know if I'm afraid to finally succeed... Or never succeed.. Such a mind game... We just have to fight through this! We are stronger.

At my heaviest I was 288lbs, at surgery i was down to 272. I am now at 234 and can fit into clothes i haven't been able to wear in nearly 10 years, some of them are even getting too big! Getting under 200 is a major goal for me, and sometimes it feels like it's all a dream, that i will wake up back at 272 and be miserable as usual. I can't fathom being a size 10 or 12, but i know i will get there, and will probably get smaller than that! It is pretty surreal though, but i'm so glad that it is not a dream, and that i wont wake up 40lbs heavier ever again!!

I do wonder. I was thin until after the birth of my second child and have been overweight for 21 years. I am afraid that after losing the weight, my face will be wrinkled as a prune! However, I am still going through with it. Healthy and feeling good is more important.

I've never ever been thin in my whole life...so part of me kinda feels like I won't ever be...even with the surgery.

I've thought the same thing, so much so that I have to talk myself out of thinking it. I haven't been thin...ever. And I haven't been at a healthy weight since I was like 7 or so. It's impossible for me to imagine what I'll look like thinner, but I'm excited to find out.

Well it is an amazing feeling to be under 200 pounds. I now am at 170 pounds. Never in my dreams did I think that I could be this weight and this small!!! Pretty soon you all will be living the dream too, it really is fantastic!!

Hovering at 200 right now. Should hit onederland in a few days. :-)

It must feel amazing to be under 200. I am still contemplating surgery and have been for over a year. I weigh 235 now but I have weighed as much as 278 in the past. I have been over 200 for at least 34 years. I am 56 now. Just wish I could get to the point to go through with the surgery. So much fear.
