Hi everyone!

Well as of 11.9.16 (just under 8 months post WLS) I hit my goal weight. SW: 256 CW: 166. I have not been this weight since I was 23 years old. I think that I will have a better body and health at the age of 40 than I was a 21.

How long has it taken some of you to hit your goal weight? Has anyone been told by those around you that you have lost weight too fast?

I just had to share the news with everyone here. I know that everyone would understand my excitement unlike those in my life that have not had the surgery!

Congrats, I'm concerned cause it's not coming off fast enough for me. It's been 8 weeks and 50 lbs but when I look in the mirrors I see the exact same body before surgery. I congratulate you it gives me motivation

I felt the same way, try taking pics every 10 lbs. It doesn't seem like a difference until you look at the pics

I take pics every 3 months (well special milestone pics) and it's great seeing the difference. I only weigh myself at doctors appointments.

These are my surgery month, 3 and 6 month pictures. I'll be taking my 9 month picture in just about a month. Can't believe that it's already been almost 9 months.

It took me a year to lose to my goal of 150 (85 pounds. Slow, I know), but I continued to lose for several months after that. Don't be surprised when you do, too. As long as you're within a healthy range, lose as much as your body let's you!

Great job everyone.all weight loss is amazing????????????????

Congratulations! You look fantastic!

I am looking forward to your 9 months photo

Congrats!!!

Congratulations [emoji898]

I reached goal at about 7 months (from 219 HW/185 SW to 125). I was told by several people (including one nurse in surgeons office) that I was losing weight too fast. However I think that a lot of people lose at this pace if they follow the rules.

I will post my collage of my 9 months next month.
