Whose start weight is 255 or more?

I'm less than a week away from surgery and couldn't be more excited. I'm 255 and have 130 pounds to lose and am nervous I won't make it to my goal. I know if I stick to the plan I will get there but I'm just curious to see if anyone feels the same?!

so glad to have a workable tool in my chest...stomach

"slow and steady wins the race"

I started at 304, was 287 the day of surgery and am 235 now. Still 90 lbs to my goal but it's coming off slowly but surely!

I was 255..Surgery date was October 7, 2013. 5-3. Now I am at 210. It's a slow process. Be patient.

I started at 275. My surgery was December 5th. I am currently 225. I have lost 50 pounds. I think that is great. I would love to get to about 165 or lower. I am 5'5"

Today 227

I started at 251, I'm 5'8". I'm 11 months out and current weight is 143. I would like another 15 lbs but I'm content at my current weight. Haven't lost weight lately but have lost inches. I'm trying to focus more on toning up.

I'm 255 now, have lost 7 lbs so far during pre op. Surgery will be in March
