When was the first time you weighed this much and when was the last?



Recommended Posts

I'm a relative newbie, but I am getting great pleasure watching my weight drop and contemplating two questions:

1. When was the first time I weighed this much?

I would say it was my sophomore year in college (1972). I remember weighing 219 on my mother's 25 year old bathroom scale that consistently registered 10 lbs light!

2. When was the last time I weighed this much?

I'm thinking 2002. I remember weighing 219 (again) on a light scale. I went to a wedding and recall it was the last time I wore 38" waist pants.

How about you?

First time? High school.

Last time? 20 years ago when I lost 50 pounds with Weight Watchers. The first time.

Hopefully, there will be no last time this time ;)

I haven't been at my current weight in over 10 years. At that time I was horrified because it was the most I had ever weighed and I was scared of being in the 300's.

i remember the very day i was exiting onederland. i was 17, so around then was the first time. i just video chatted with a cousin who hasn't seen me since the surgery, and he said "wow, i haven't seen that face in 10 years! "

I am 6 months out from VSG and now weigh 164 lbs. it's been over 20 years since i was at this weight. As a yo yo dieter, I got down to 170 a couple of times, but this is a pretty dramatic change for me! I'm only 15 lbs from goal????????????

I was a very thin teenager 5'10" and 135lbs. I was married with 2 babies by the time I was 19 (military wife).

I started packing on weight with my second pregnancy and after I gave birth I was 170lbs.

I went through a terrible rough patch with my ex husband, he was abusive to both me and my children. The weight kept coming on after that so I was about 20 when I last weighed 179, I am now 52.

By the time I was 25, I was close to 250 and I kept going from there, my heaviest was 315.

I am glad to have the much thinner me back, although I now look like a sharpei doggy. LOL! I feel great and am so glad I did it.

1) You know I can never really relate when I hear people saying they've lost so much weight that they weigh what they did in high school, or college. That's because I've been fat nearly all my life and I learned early on to avoid the scale. So I honestly can't remember, growing up, the first time I was this low, which is 169. I still have 39 pounds to lose to reach goal.

2) The second one is much easier. It was around 2002. That was my last successful (well, for how long it lasted) weight loss attempt on my own. But of course I gained it all back and it nearly did me in morale wise. I'd completely given up until weight loss surgery became an option. It gave me hope again, and best of all, it has delivered on that hope!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
