I originally started at 350, That was the beginning of 2016. When I went in for surgery I was 260. Yes 90 lbs lost on my own. I know I can do it, but I cant keep it off. My goal realistically is 199 lbs. Unrealistic is 175 lbs. anything under 175 will not look good on me. I have wide, broad shoulders. I am built different. Wide hips. I am stuck at my current weight and I know I need to exercise. Thats my down fall.
There were 2 celebrations! When I was down 100 lbs, and just recently, the first time since 1999, that I am under a size 20 jean! Even my jeans made it to onederland! Lol

I’m 5’4 and my initial goal was 150. I’m 135 and at 23% bodyfat so I really shouldn’t lose any more as 23% is the bottom of the range for my age. So my goal is to maintain between 135 and 140.

I'm slated for a June possibly July surgery. 44 years old 5ft 8in. Highest and starting weight was 279 a month ago. Currently 272. Goal is to get healthy, off meds and relieve some of the issues with my back. Arthritis and disk issues so the weight puts a huge strain on it. If I can get rid of a significant part of the weight and get back into some kind of shape, build the muscle in my back again it would be heaven. Be able to walk more than 5 steps without pain. It's what I need!!!

I’m 5’2”, starting at 240ish pounds, with an ultimate goal weight of 130 :)

You and I are nearly identical. I'm 5'1", 246.6 and my goal is 130. I anticipate it would take me about a year to reach that goal, but I'm prepared for the journey!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
