Hi everyone. I have just about 100 to lose. I am 4 foot 11 and cuurently weigh 200. Ive lost 18 since surgery on9/25/12.

I'd sure jump in here. I have 150 lbs to lose after the 50 I just lost. Started at 352 and now 302. My surgery was 8/21/12. My doctor never told me about a goal weight, but I hope I can be 150 but will be ok with 170. Am 5 6 tall

I have now lost 86 lbs of the 125 lb target. I now only have 39 more lbs to go. When I look at my before pics compared to now, I absolutely can't stop laughing...I can now admit that I was HUGE!!!!! But 61/2 months ago you couldn't tell me that I wasn't the hottest thing smokin'! and for some reason that makes me bust out in laughter!!! People tell me that I look happier now. That my facial expression has changed....more approachable now. I'm so friggin' happy with this weight loss!!!!!!

Panda I'm the same way. I have always been over weight but I've never had low self esteem. I look at some of my old pictures and say wow. Lol. I'm down 78 pounds with about 40 more to lose. Starting weight was 297. Today I am 219. Surgery was April 23, 2012.

Ditto here - 4th preop (of mandatory 6) today AND this week I scheduled my last 2. I am getting excited.

I'll probably be surgical in the spring - ill do whatever it takes to be sooner but am resolved if it's spring.

I'm down 70 pounds and stalling . I was hoping to be under 200 by thanksgiving, but doesn't look like that's going to happen.

I’m so excited - I had my #4 of 6 yesterday -

I love my PCP - and he’s so supportive of this decision.

I’m scared to death - but I feel like I should be - this is a major major major decision.

When was your surgery k?

and that was your 1000th post - congrats girl.

Ok, I'm jumping in also..

I am 3 weeks post-op Laproscopic / 18 days post-op Revision. Follow that? Obviously I had troubles. One out of a million? Yep, I got the lotto ticket & had to have issues!

Anyway, my beginning wt prior to surgery was 223#. I am only 5'0".

Today I weighed in at 189.5. OMG!! 33 # down, and I'm still recuperating -got the ok for walking, but haven't done much.. Low BP keeps me tired & lightheaded. Plus I came home from the hospital with double pneumonia. Walking @ home, keeping busy, still guarding my belly from anything that moves.

I haven't been 189.5 since I don't know how long!!

Watching the weight just melt off (literally!) blows my mind. A pair of jeans I bought years ago have not fit me practically since I bought them! Today I found them, tried them on... Slick! Like they were made for me!

Anyone else just baffled at the pounds melting??

Ur husband is right curvy is great.

Struggling to get to my -100 lbs mark. Will be 8 months out in two days and down 93 lbs. Been at this mark for 2 weeks now. Once I get there I'll only have 25 lbs to go! Yay!!!

Well I had my surgery 8/12

sw: 277

cw: 227

gw: 175

Through my journey I decided not to weigh myself. My doctor did not put me on a modified diet, he just said eat everything in moderation. At first I was like yepee, now I kinda regret not having restrictions because I found myself slipping back into old behaviors. Today, I decided I must take control and set limits. Although I've lost a significant amount of weight I still have those bad behaviors. New Beginnings for me as of today...
