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!

Very happy to report that I've met my goal!!!

Not only that, but my trainer told me I gained 4 lbs. of muscle in the last two weeks (and I thought it was a stall!).

My goal was based on my doctor saying that the average sleever looses 60 - 70% of their excess weight. Being an overachiever, I set my goal at an approx. 70% loss. I'm happy with the way I look and wouldn't care if my body decides this is it - but, for health reasons, would like to be a little lower. I'll set my next goal at 150 lbs, because that would put me comfortably into a normal range of weight.

Weight loss is much slower now with just one pound lost in two weeks. I WAS a stress eater, but I am proud to say that although the work stress was extreme over the last two weeks, I did not eat anything other than what was on my plan and I had no sugary sweets. The old me would have gained 5 pounds over the last two weeks!

Mooncat, I am a bit confused by your numbers. TPL from your HW is 136. TPL from your SW is 121. I wanted to make sure your CW was accurate, because I couldn't calculate a TPL number of 73, and want to make sure I get you down for your total weight loss!

I finally hit a milestone a few days ago....(hit the 100 pound lost mark! Woohhoooo)

Such an exciting week! My hubby took me to Victorias Secret for the first time in 12 years!!! He was more excited than I was but obviously I'm getting my sexy back! Lol.
