I have now lost half my starting weight - wow



Recommended Posts

Thanks to 5:2 and upping exercise, I am losing weight again (slowly). I initially started doing 5:2 because my weight had bounced back up to the low 160s, and I easily got back to my goal range of under 158, but had been stuck there awhile.

I can't believe it - I finally broke the 155# barrier and now weight 154 - several days in a row...haha. Anyway, my starting weight before the 2 week preop diet was 308 - so that is half!

My lifetime high weight (that was ever recorded anyway) was 332, but that was several years before my surgery so i don't count that.

Wow. Just wow.

As you know, I am getting ready for plastics and I would say 6 months ago I had a certain...loathing for that extra skin. this morning I was looking at it in the mirror thinking... not bad considering it used to hold the weight of TWO women not just one. I am excited about looking better, and getting rid of that low belly, but, not bad all in all.

This morning doing my Julian Michaels DVD (dusted her off the shelf) - I was reminded of one of my favorite quotes from her - paraphrased

"Transformation is not a future state, it is a current activity"

That is just so true.

fan-bloody-tastic!

Glad to see the 5:2 is suiting you too... it has gotten me out of my set point and I feel, at last, like my weight loss isn't over -

3 1/2 yrs out that is no mean feat!

Well done you...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
