How much more do you have to lose??

Everyone is doing awesome! Isn't it amazing how far we've come in less than one year? Start: 386 Current: 220 Surgeon's goal: around 200 My goal: started out with a goal of 175, but now I'm pushing for 160. So I guess it is 60 more pounds for me!

Everyone's done so great, you are all my inspiration. SW: 261 CW: 166 i had to ask my surgeon for a goal weight.. he said he "doesn't believe in them..."??? but he said I will probably get to 140... My personal goal at first was 150...I thought I'd be happy (and lucky to get to) 150...but honestly when I was thin, I weighed 135 so in my head i think i have a dim hope of one day seeing that again..but I don't really believe I can make it, b/c I was that low from starving myself. and bottom line is i dont want to think of myself as 31 pounds from goal, it seems unattainable. So long story short, i guess I am 16-26 pounds from goal.

Start weight: 317 Current: 206 Goal: 165 My weight loss is like a turtle, but I'm okey with that now, I'm a very happy slow looser.

slow??? You've lost 111 pounds that is AWSOME!! I think you are doing great...heck we all are...I can't get over the amount everyone has to loose...remember a few months ago we all were saying like 80 to 100 pounds hehehe I so proud of all of us! mimi

Rebeka and I have the same surgeon, and he also wouldn't give me a goal weight. I asked him if 150 would be good (because I had seen it on a doctor's chart somewhere for my height as an "average") and he said "ok, whatever you want"... (*sigh*) Highest Weight ever: 288 Starting Weight: 269 Current Weight: 159 Personal Goal: 150? Height: 5'8" My BMI has been in the "Normal" range for a couple months now, so I'm really happy where I'm at. But I worry about maintenance and a little "bounce back" weight coming on, so I'll keep with the 150 goal. So, 9 more pounds to go

Start: 242 Current: 157 Doctor's goal (and my goal sort of): 134 23 more pounds to go... However, even though my weight has not BUDGED in about 3 months, (except to go up with water weight) I am now fitting into some size 6's. What am I gonna look like after 23 more pounds? Size 6 was my "OMG I'll never get there" goal. I don't want to be a 4. Too skinny for me. I need SOME meat on my bones. I'm 5'5" and I still FEEL fat, but I know what a size 4 looks like. My BMI still says overweight. and what size will I be after 23 more pounds???? I'm so confused. How can you be a 6 and overweight? How can you be a 12 or 14 and overweight for that matter?!?!?!? I don't know what to think anymore. I'm so confused right now. Kathy

woo hoo down 102 way to go!!! it may take you longer to get to your goal then it did me...but just think your skin will have more time to tighten up...you shouldn't look like a sharpie puppy like me! So see there's a bonus to loosing slower....Still 102 pounds that is awsome!!!! Mimi

I started at 244 and have lost 96 pounds to weigh 148 today. My goal is between 135 and 140, I want to see what I will look like then. My surgeon never gave a weight goal. This board is so inspiring to me, I come to read whenever I am at a plateau or just feeling down. Everyone's weight loss is so amazing and encouraging! I, too, was at a plateau for awhile but within the last month have lost 4 pounds and I seriously am not doing anything different. I am between a size 6 and 8, depending on the brand and never thought I would ever be this thin. This is without a doubt the best thing I have ever done for myself.
