While scrolling through past postings I noticed there is" Guys who started over 400lbs" in the Guys Room. Well I believe if there is" gravy for the ?rooster" there certainly should be "gravy for the? hen " especially those of us with meatier? drumsticks. Are there challenges we face that aren't faced by our 200 lb sisters? Do we tend to lose weight faster or slower than smaller? flock members?
Weigh in my sisters, weigh in!

Yeah me neither, I did break the 300 pound barrier, I am now in two-fer-ville, was 298.6 last Wednesday, the diamond,in a mound of costume jewelry. Will I ever break 200? Gosh , I hope so! And you will hear and see me do a Happy Happy Joy Joy dance clear where YOU are at.??

I hit two-fer-ville (299) on 10/1. I am currently in a stall at 297 but so happy with my progress. I am seven pounds away from my first goal of 100 pound loss from my highest weight. I hope I can make it to onederland and will join you in a Happy Happy dance! At least now we can say we are closer to that goal. Taking one day at a time. Best wishes to you too!

I have hit a mile stone for me, I broke 350 today I weighed in at 349.4 I am hyped!

It does not take much to make me happy!

Hello all. I’m new to this site. I started my journey August 2016. I had surgery August 2017. My top weight was 396. My current weight is 268. I have hit a BIG stall. Can’t seem to get things going again. I plan to start the pouch reset tomorrow. Any suggestions??????

It’s not exactly the greatest point in my life but before surgery I was 460. Thankfully I was able to lose a lot since then but still at a CW of 334. Journey is hard but I know it will be worth it!

Hello All! My highest weight was 365 and my surgery weight was 327 on 10/10/18. When I came home I had gained 9lbs despite not having eaten! ? In the 2 weeks since surgery I have gotten to 317 but I feel like I should have lost more since I’m still on liquids and super soft foods (like applesauce). It is very daunting to realize you need to lose 200+ lbs to even come close to the healthy range!

CyndieRI at this point relax it will happen. It just takes time. I am 3 weeks post-op and I feel what you are saying.

Hey gals, I am down to 290 at 7 weeks, other problems still there but I will gain "happy" where I can!

Hello girls!
I am so excited to report that one week past my 3 month surgery anniversary (7/12), I reached 100 POUNDS LOSS from my highest weight!!! I have lost a total of 79 pounds from the day of surgery and I am so happy with the amount of weight I have lost so far in this short amount of time. It certainly hasn’t been easy and there are days I can’t keep anything down, but despite the hurdles, I am super motivated and started going to the gym again. It’s been so much easier to hang on the treadmill for 30 minutes and will continue to test my endurance. I know it will get harder as I get closer to goal, but working on life changing habits that I can live with to transform to a healthier version of me. In the meantime, I am also rediscovering who I was before I gained all this weight. A great non-scale victory to report is that I have no problems fitting into a restaurant booth and husband says he doesn’t hear me snore any more. I am guilty of not using my pap machine as I have lost so much weight the pressure chokes me and the strap is so loose from the weight loss that’s it’s useless. I plan on getting another sleep study done in the near future and hoping to rule out the sleep apnea diagnosis. I never knew I had it prior to surgery but had to get a sleep study completed in order to qualify for the surgery. Hope all you are doing well in your journey!

Thank iattcom! I go tomorrow for my “official” weigh in! What I really need to do is stay off MY scale (every day - sometimes twice!) ?

It is daunting. But just think where you will be almost a year from now.

My high weight was 389.

My surgery weight was 369 on 12/2/2017.

Im about six weeks shy of my one year anniversary and I weigh 223.

Follow your program and your life will be so different in a year you will not believe it!

We May have farther to go but we can still get there, believe it!

After throwing up all day yesterday I weighed in at 340.4, and today I am drinking only liquids. I have had only coffee and a protein drink so far. I have water to sip on constantly as well.
