How far from goal?

I am 17 lbs. away from what my surgeon said I had to lose to have my surgery considered "a success" (172 lbs.). I am 39 lbs. away from my personal goal of 150 lbs. Karla

I am two lbs away from my doctors goal and 12 from my own. I haven't lost a thing in about 4 weeks now.

I SO wish I was given a doctor's goal but they refused. My personal goal is 160 so I am 15 lbs from goal. When I get to 160, I might want to get to 150, so we'll see I still cannot believe that I can say I am this close to goal. Remember when we were 100+ lbs from goal!? What a blessing!

Well Mary I too like some of the others, my surgeon wouldnt set a goal for me. I set a few but have changed them since I truly never thought I would ever reach them. The most current one is 142. I am about 3-5 pounds away since its that time and weight keeps flucutating. If I dont lose it its ok tho since I feel so much better now and the real reason I want to lose it is to say I have lost 100 since surgery. Suzette

I'm 8 lbs away from my surgeon's goal and about 20 lbs from my personal goal.

I am almost the same as you with being 35 lbs. away from my goal. I have a super tiny/petite build so it is taking me longer than most but I am happy where I am at at 148 lbs. Karen S.

Hey Mary! I'm glad your back and posting! My surgeon wants me to get to 160 lbs. I think that's too small for me. 59 more lbs. to get to his goal of 160 44 more lbs. to get to my goal of 175 Kay

My nut didn't give me a goal either... My personal goal is 125 so I am 16 pounds away. I have been playing with the same 5 pounds for the last two months too...

Let me first say all of you have done great and I am so happy to see many of you are close to goal. I sure feel like the odd man out. I still have 115 lbs. to get to my goal of 150. I went through the month of Nov. not losing a thing and then gaining a lb. But today I have lost 4 lbs. I have lost a total weightloss of 204 lbs. I lost 75 of it before I was able to have wls. Even though I wasn't losing for a month my nursing uniform was feeling like it was getting bigger. I exercise 7 days a week and it sure was hard not seeing any weightloss for that month. But I kept talking to myself and trying not to let it get to me. Some days were better than others. I am sure other people have had to go through this also. It can make a person crazy if you let it.

I am 25 pounds from my goal. I have stopped loosing as of right now. I have only lost 2 pounds in the last 6 weeks. And I gain that back and loose it on a regular basis!!! I need a swift kick in the tush to get me moving to start loosing! Cathy
