The last month or two, I've been losing about .5 lb per week. I hit 201 June 13th, but put on 4 pounds on my 5oth birthday, it took me almost a month to get back to 201. Yesterday, I suddenly lost 2 pounds in one day and slammed through the 200 pound barrier. It took just under 7 months from surgery date, but I'm here. The last time I was under 200 was 1988. I'm hoping within 2 weeks to be at my goal.

Go BillOh!!!!!

Go yourself, but thanks. From a bmi of 40 to 22 in a year? When I get to my goal of 195, that will be a bmi of 25, I may just try to hold it awhile. For me to get to 24 or the top end of normal would be another 10-12 pounds. If I try to run a 1/2 marathon next year, that may happen by itself, but I think over the winter I will work on maintaining.

Percentage-wise you are about where I was at 7 months. And you are running marathons!...how cool is that!

Maintaining is where I have been for a couple months now. I would like to lose another 13 pounds...with my frame I think that I would look great then. But lately I have just been working on seeing where exercise will take me, at least for the summer. Maybe this fall I will get back to trying to lose the last bit of weight. Right now I am around mid-range normal BMI and if I didn't lose another pound I would be perfectly fine with that.
