A third of the way to my goal!!!

I am down 72 lbs. -- FOREVER!! I don't care what anyone else says (i.e. those who say the weight will come back) I know it can -- but mine WILL NOT!!! I only have two more lbs. to lose to be under 300, which is my first personal goal. My ultimate goal is 160, so I have a way to go to reach that (another 141 lbs. to be exact), but I'm taking it one day at a time!! I am a third of the way there!! Congrats to the other Marchers for all the weight lost!! You're all doing wonderful!!! Isn't it a great feeling? Tammy 373/301/160

Congratulations Tammy. It is a great feeling. We're so lucky to have been able to do this. I'm nearing a goal too - I'm totally psyched. Jen 266/201/?

Yes...Yes...Yes...I feel your excitement!!!!! I am 61lbs down since 3/24/04 and it has been the very best thing I have ever done!!!! Hey - I also feel the same way about getting to my goal weight when I get there....so I will enjoy the ride till then!!!! Congrats with your weight loss!!!! Edna 255/194/???

Your post made me go calculate, and I am also a third of the way to my personal goal! My surgeon's goal for me is 130, but my personal goal is 120. I've lost 60 lbs, so 119 to go and I'll be there! I'm only 5'2".

Ha ha! I am a third of the way to my goal as well!!!! Actually a little more than a third! Thanks for posting! I am happy for you and now I am happy for ME too! Lisa

Congratulations!!!! You keep up the good work and you'll get to your goal. Louise 231/177/150

THANKYOU!!!! I am so happy you posted this. I am so excited for you - getting under 300 was my 1st big goal as well, and I remember how great it felt when I could finally say - never more will my weight start with a 3!!!! By posting this you spurred me to to check how far along I've come. I started at 311 and my ideal is 138. I'm now down 69, so I'm more than a thrid of the way there! It sounds so much better when looking at it this way. mgm high/preop/now/ideal 330/ 311 /242 /138

I'm with you, Tammy. What I am losing right now is in my opinion FOREVER. I may rebound a little as most do, but certainly not 150+ lbs!!! Congratulations on this fantastic goal. You're really zooming along in the weight loss department!
