I stepped on the scale this morning and saw that magical number that I set for myself in the beginning of this journey. My goal was to get to 230 and that is what popped up this morning. My surgery was on April 3rd of this year. At pre-op I weighed in at 362. So that is 132 pounds gone. And those pounds are gone forever!

At the moment I am still contemplating what to do from here. Part of me a very small part off me wants to say ehh I am good. A larger part of me wants to now change the goal. You see years ago I was at the highest weight I ever saw on the scale which was 418, so my full weight loss total to date is 188. That being said I kinda want to see my total loss be at 200. Seems like a pretty cool number to me. I know I can get 12 more pounds off. I will be deciding over the next few days on what to do I guess.

The journey itself was in no way an easy one. Sure I lost a ton of weight in a short amount of time but you HAVE to work at it. Did I sometimes eat things I shouldn't. Uh yes. But I was able to stack more good days together than bad. I have never felt better than I do today and I know that its only going to get better!

Guys...HELP!!! LOL

I am a newby.....I can't figure out how to "reply" to someone/anyones post :/

Advice please

Uh you just did...

Well I woke up this morning and lost 2 more pounds. So I guess my body has helped me decide. I am going for 218 now. Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Wow, I can't even imagine saying "yep, I lost 200lbs!" CONGRATULATIONS! You have done a phenomenal job working your sleeve. Is it work? Yep. Is it worth it? Yep...a million times over!

I just have to ask...was your screen name because you were having a hard time deciding to go forward with the sleeve? And if so, maybe it's time to change it...just saying!

Wow congrats

First thank you!

Actually the sleeve is one of the only things that I was decisive on. Other parts of life for me I can be indecisive about though. I have used this screen name for years on other boards so I just keep it around I guess.

Well that is good to hear. I was like you...once I learned about the sleeve there was no turning back. I *knew* it was right for me!

Clearly my weight loss has slowed down but I hit 218 this morning so that is officially 200 pounds gone since my highest weight. 200 freaking pounds people!!! Craziness!

Congrats! That is just amazing!

Now down 205 total. 149 since surgery. So as you can see a considerable slow down. I am wondering where it will stop...

So amazing! What an accomplishment.

So amazing! What an accomplishment.

Thanks so much!
