I've started my weight loss journey at 267 and I am proud to say that I am 166. I went from a size 22 to a size 12. I need to lose 11 more pounds to hit my goal weight of 155. Every one tells me to stop now but not sure.

I too have lost 101 since surgery (we started at about the same weight and surgery date is days apart!) I have 39 more lbs to loose to get to my goal (guess I am shorter than you) and have people telling me I don't need to loose any more but I ignore them. My goal is to get into a size 8. I do love that I fit a size 12 at the present (though I have a few size 14's that are too comfortable to get rid of just yet) and I have worn a size 10 dress (plenty of hip room in a full skirt).

I say loose what you want and let everyone keep their comments to themselves.

PS: You need to update your ticker to show your success!

Congratulations! Lots of hard work no doubt.

Can't listen to other ppl always. Folks would tell me I didn't Really need to have WLS!?

You look nice in pics. Your doctor will let you know if your weight is not at a healthy amount. Right?

Congrat,congrats,CONGRATS!! You look great! I am a similar starting weight to your starting weight and will have my surgery 3/21/14. Did you follow Docs diet suggestions or do your own & did you exercise?

I started at 244 8 years ago, and had a lapband. I had major complications, and had a revision on May 8th 2013. I was 206 the morning of surgery, and I'm 120 now. I went from a size 22 to a size 6 in 10 months.

A few months before my revision surgery:

Thanks. I was very strick with my diet and I counted calories.

I only had 800 calories per day. And went to the gym 5 times a week.
