So I'm considered a lightweight....yea....thats me LOL! At 32 BMI I'm technically lightweight. I have been at 35 BMI for the last several years or so and have actually managed to lose a bit on a low carb/high protein/mod fat/low cal/sugar free (paleo/primal) lifestyle, but am as usual having a very hard time keeping it off consistantly. It keeps creeping up.

Was just wondering if there were anymore people on here with about 100lbs or less to lose, or otherwise considered lightweight comparatively. Any who've had the procedure? If you've had the procedure, how much have you been losing? What's your progress, and how're you feeling about the procedure so far?

Thought I'd make a thread for us that have less to lose than the SMB or even the MB people on here. So we can share our experiences and just chill.

BTW, thought I'd add. Everyone is welcome! All sizes! All opinions are valued here!

I'm 5'3 1/2 and 8 months out. Began my journey at 225 and am now 156 and trying to get to 145. So almost at 70 lbs. it has really slowed down but I expected that the closer you are to goal and the smaller percentage you have to lose. This has been the best thing I have ever done! I have lost 5 sizes gone from an 18/20 to 8's and 10's. I'm so much more active. I don't consider that I was a lightweight' date=' I agree with Laura, fat is fat. My BMI was almost 40!! I will get there by just keeping on keeping on!

5'3

234lbs. (Starting weight 261lbs)

BMI of 41

So inspiring! I'm looking forward to loosing this weight but it seems so impossible. I have failed so many times before. But your success makes me feel like its really possible! Cant wait for my surgery! Thanks for sharing!

I'm 5'3 and started at 196 day of surgery. My highest weight was 216. Sleeved 12/10/12. I am down at 141 pounds now and have 10 more to go. Started really slowing down the last month or so with the loss but I expected it. If I never drop another pound I am still thrilled with my results. I work out very hard daily and am now a size 7, I was a 16 prior to surgery.

So I'm 5'2" and 234. I am at 42 bmi and my goal is128. Is that crazy town? I'm 35.

Crazy town!! That's been my favorite line yet! Not even! I think it's very potable that you'll reach your goal!

I love that a lot of us are the same build.

Good luck! When are you scheduled?

@Jumperbean:

WOW! Thats amazing! Way to go girl! Thats just wonderful how well you've done!

Of course thats not crazy town! That should be normal weight range for you. Do you have a date scheduled?

I know right! I'm loving it too! Look at how much we've all got in common already!

July 1! 39 days away!!!!! 39 more days of being fat for the rest of my life!!!!

Woohoo! Thats great! Yes! Cheers to your awesome and wonderful future!

July 1 isn't that far away! That's great news! Wish I'd have my surgery date scheduled already. lol. Hubby is having a tiny bit of a hard time getting his employees to agree on a new schedule. GAWD! It's only for about a week! It really shouldn't be this hard! UGH. I can't blame hub though, well not completely lol. 2 of his employees are going for 1-2 week long vacations at two separate times during both June and July, and as for August.....I seriously DO NOT want to wait for school to start for the little one. That would just make things impossible to leave for a week. .

Lol! 32 bmi is still fat! I'm 29 now and I'm still fat!

Fat is fat is fat. You can mix with the MB and SMB they won't bite....hehehe

Exactly! Fat is fat is fat.. FAT, I tell ya!

I'm 5' 4" and currently weigh 255. My surgeon said a good goal for me is 175... Which is good, but I would LOVE to be around 150...

So I have 80-100 lbs to lose...

I will get my date in the next few days, insurance approved me today!

@Ella
