Obese to Overweight



Recommended Posts

I’m super excited to share that I just crossed over from obese to overweight this morning. Weight loss goal 1 achieved. On to the next goal which is to hit normal range. I’m buying jeans in size 14 and tops in XL and I couldn’t be more pleased! I’m so happy, I just wanted to share. Also, for those of you in a stall, don’t worry. It eventually comes off. I stalled 2 1/2 weeks after surgery for almost 2 weeks (it was a real bummer).

Is 135 a realistic goal weight? I'm not trying to be snarky, but our stats are almost exactly the same! I didn't think that was possible?!

My doctor told me that at my starting weight 75% will achieve 170lbs. 50% will achieve 150lbs and 25% will achieve 130lbs. Since I’ve maintained just under 135lbs in the past, I’m using this as my final goal but believe me when I say I’ll be extremely happy anywhere in the 150lbs - 135lbs range.

That's how I feel too! 150? GREAT!! I almost think 135 would look emaciated on me, but if that is what my body can do, I'm game! 😁

Go for it!! At 5'5", I weighed 125-135 through college, so it is certainly a healthy #.

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

      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! 😞
