I know to some, this might even seem silly... but for several years, I've been over 300 lbs. Before I even decided on this route, I'd been trying every damn diet i could think of to lose weight. I remember 3 times, or got down to the verge of getting under 300 lbs. But I never could quite tip the scale. I'd teeter totter on the edge, but never made it under.

The day I started the pre-op diet, I was 333.6 lbs. March 6th, the day of surgery, I was 310.2

Today, I weighed, and I am 298.0

I realize it's just 35 lbs and I still have a long road, but I cried. I haven't seen less than 300 lbs on the scale in over 3 years.

I'm so grateful. For the first time, I actually feel like I got this. And I am so glad for this app. I just had to share my joy with someone. I felt like I was about to pop.

Congratulations! I hope to do as well as you did. Had mine on the 21st

Congratulations that is awesome

I feel your joy and congrats[emoji106]? I have a similar experience as you I just couldn't break the 300 lb mark before surgery I weighed 330 lbs. I had surgery on February 20th in five weeks I lost 37lbs. But now I'm stuck in a plateau! I'm not sure when I'm going to see the scale change again the first four weeks each day I was a pound or 2 lighter but this past week and a half no change. Everyday I weight myself now it's the same. I am praying now to get out of the 290's and enter into the 280's and beyond. Anybody has advice on the Plateau and how to jump start the weight lost again? I wanna keep the happy dance going too[emoji847]

Gongratulations [emoji8]

Apparently there's a 3 week stall. Just keep doing the protein and you'll see movement on the scale. I was shocked that I hit a plateau with as little as I was eating- and exercising - but it's normal.

That is a great accomplishment! Don't ever think reaching a goal is silly. All that matters is that you are happy with your progress. Congratulations and up the good work!

This is how I feel! Always teetered between 194-200. I'll cry when I see 189, congrats!

Thanks! I'm actually a bit stunned at how fast it's coming off. My husband looked at me yesterday and started laughing ( now, he has always told me he loves me regardless of my size.)

When I asked him why he was laughing, he told me, he could tell I was really losing weight because for the first time in a LONG time my breasts stuck out further than my stomach. I had to start laughing too, because it was true. I looked down at myself and my stomach was not visible...

You notice the craziest things... that may have been TOO MUCH INFO.... but I thought it was funny.

Awww that is so cute! Yes my husband told me last night, "ooo I can tell your getting skinny, it's all in your face" I was aww thx! Hahaha the littlest things make your heart smile

Dance [emoji126] girl dance! Congrats
