At the suggestion of a fellow sleever (thanks DeezJeans) I'm starting a post-op success story thread. This can be a 'numbers' thread...when you do your weigh in's, you can post your pounds lost here, and we can keep a running total. We can use this thread JUST for pounds lost!

Looking forward to the thousands of pounds we WILL be losing!

Here's what we would like to do. Please send me a private message with your goal pounds lost. (Meaning, if your goal is to lose 150 pounds, just jot that down in a quick private message and send that to me.)

Then we will compile all the pounds from everyone who wants to participate, and post the full amount, and then work towards those goals with weekly updates. We will be recording those pounds lost AFTER surgery!

You will still post your pounds lost on this forum here so we can Celebrate all of your victories (and I will keep track of them on my trusty spreadsheet, and then report the weekly pounds lost)

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Not a good week for me.... I was in the hospital for 2 days. I was working out and passed out. My hubby thought I was over doing my workouts and my hea went up to high but come to find out I was dehydrated... Ugh !!! I was pumped up on fluids and had a gain and then a loss.

Total loss from HW: 77.8

My 1st goal weight is 175. I'm 5'5 and possibly hoping to get to 150-160. Hopefully I can get to one of them by my surgiversary.

Hi everyone!

My apologies for being MIA for a few weeks. I've been keeping track of everyone's weight loss. I need to ask a favor...if you could please start doing your posts in the following format I would appreciate it...it would help me tremendously:

HW (High Weight)

SW (Surgery Weight)

CW (Current Weight)

TPL (Total Pounds Lost)

TGP (Total Goal Pounds)

The Total Goal Pounds is how many pounds you are wanting to lose in total. The reason for this is because if you haven't posted for awhile, I have removed you from the list, which means that I no longer have your info, and how many pounds you are hoping to lose...or if you newly join, and start posting your numbers, I don't have your goals. This also helps all of us see how close you are between your total pounds lost (to date) and how many pounds you are hoping to lose.

If you have any questions, please let me know...thank you so much for using this new format...it will keep me from having to manually adding up each person's loss for the week which will make it quicker for me to post our numbers (which I will do in a separate post)

Numbers for the week (we're looking really good so far)

Total pounds to lose - 3606

Total pounds lost to date - 2591.1

We're amazingly at 71.9% of our goal...already in just 6 months! Congratulations everyone...you're doing a fantastic job!

Thanks Mnwin

72 lbs to my goal weight! Total weight lost of 66 lbs from my highest weight! I feel great! I'm so excited about the new me. My goal weight actually changed during the course of this journey. After losing 66 lbs and it taking me down 3 clothing sizes, I decided I probably wouldn't like how I looked at my original goal weight which was 150 lbs. I don't strive to be thin. I like having a little thickness to me. So my new goal is 170!
