2 weeks shy of being 29, HW 312-current weight 199-113 pounds lost.

I'm very late to the party here, but I was 35 years old when I start the whole process. I'm 44 now. My highest weight was 320 and I've been maintaining between 160-165, so I'm at about half my body weight. I had RNY gastric bypass surgery and it was the BEST decision I ever made. :)

Reading this thread makes me feel OOOOOOOLD!!! lol

58. 250. 70.

Met my initial goal today -- it hasn't been all that hard and I'm quite happy. My surgeon wants me to lose another 20 which puts me where I was when I was in college. That seems unrealistic/unbelievable to me! So I'm setting my next goal to lose 10 more, then 5 more, and we'll see what my body tells me in the end. I'm not going to stress out over the number. If I can make it all the way to that 90 pound loss then great. If I stop here I'm still happy (but I don't intend to stop!).

I feel like a normal person again.

54 y/o. Surgery 7/21/16 251.7...CW207.5...about 43 pounds! Have a stall about every 3 weeks but average of about 2 to 1/2 pounds a week.

Waiting for all that energy!!
