OK April Losers how much have you lost???
I love looking at everyone's progress...good work guys!!! To date I have lost 120 pounds...I've lost an actual small person-sheesh! I would like to lose another 60 pounds. I hit a two month long plateau and thought I was at the end of my weight loss...bought myself an exercise bike two nights ago and I'm going to reach my goal one way or the other! We've come too far to stop now guys.....Keep it up losers!!!!
Congrats everyone on your weight loss. As for me, I've lost 92 lbs. I'm at my goal! I'd never thought I'd ever say this, but I'm actually happy where I'm at and don't want to lose anymore, but the weight is still coming off slowly. I weigh 125 lbs and in a size 4/6 in pants. (I'm only 5'2") I'm still in a normal BMI range but I'm seriosly debating on contacting the doctor to see what I can do to just maintain instead of losing anymore. I feel like I eat quite a bit, but mostly all the right foods.
Everyone, keep up the great work!
Hi Nadine! Congrats to you and everyone else on their weight loss. I started out at 409...lost 80 before surgery Apr 21st...have lost another 109 since surgery for a total of 189! Still have more to go but its only a matter of time. Can't wait for very badly needed tummy tuck, hubby says I will probably lose another 20 lbs when they do it! LOL Good Luck Everyone!

WOW! Everyone is doing great here! I am down 150 lbs as of this morning. I have between 35-50 lbs to go, so not doing too bad here, either! I have set 2 goals for my weight, though, my "realistic" goal of 140lbs (the highest weight I could be and still have a "normal" BMI) and my "ultimate" goal of 125lbs (the weight where I looked best when I was small before, which also happens to be dead center for BMI normalcy for my height).
Like everyone else, my weight loss has slowed to a crawl, but I remind myself this isn't a sprint, it is a marathon, I still realistically have another 15-51 months to lose, according to all the facts and figures gleaned from my many years of researching WLS. As for me, I admit to not getting enough protein in for the last month (hubby was laid off and protein is EXPENSIVE!!) but I have recently ordered some new protein and I plan on upping it to a ridiculous amount to restart my loss.
Great job, everyone!!

Hey there! It sounds like everyone is doing SO well! I'm really proud of you all! If you've lost 20lbs or 200, you're doing better than you were before surgery! I haven't lost anything since I met my 2005 weight loss goal, but I haven't gained either, so I can't complain!
Highest weight: approx 400
Surgery Day weight: 388
Current weight: 265
Goal weight: 185-200lbs
Total Lost Since surgery: 123lbs!!!
Left: 65-80lbs
My goal was 266 (my lowest adult weight EVER) by New Years, and I did it! My next goal is 238 by April for my 1yr surgiversary. It's kinda lofty, but I'm going to try my best!!! That's another 27lbs in 3 months!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
MUCH LOVE!

Wow -- I haven't checked this board in a while. How fabulously everyone has done!
Before my surgery I had lost 58 lbs - from 329 to 271.
Since the surgery on April 21 I have lost another 79 -- from 271 to 192.
So that is a total of 137.
Have hit many plateaus, but I'm getting there -- wherever "there" is -- slowly but surely.
