Anyone not at goal yet?

It seems like most of you are pretty close to where you want to be. I was a year out on April 20. I'm down 141lbs and still want to lose another 40 or so. My weight loss has slowed down to 1-2lbs a week. I'm happy with that as long as I still keep losing. I was just wondering if anyone else on the forum is still aways from goal? Best of luck to all of you.

me either need 18 more to go & it is comming off slowwwwwwwwwwwww

I'd like to get down to 140 which is about 18 lbs away, but if I stay at this weight, I'm fine, too, because except for the excess skin, I actually look a bit skinny. And, i don't know how much excess skin I have in terms of poundage. I am now weighing myself twice a month so I'll see what I weigh next week. Sue

I'm not at goal. I've lost 125 lbs and need to lose about 30 more. It's coming off very slowly now. Lizzie

I am not at goal yet. I am guessing that I need to lose about 20lbs plus or minus a few since my scale differs from my surgeons. One to two pounds a week at this stage is great for your weight loss. I seem to lose in stages, none for several weeks then 3-4lbs. Some months nothing. I plan to keep trying and hope what ever I do end up losing will stay off with all the lbs lost. From everything I have heard many people end up gaining 15 -20 lbs from their lowest weight so maybe if it comes off slowly it will stay off. At least I hope so. Sher

Jennifer, I wish I were at goal. I still want to lose another 35 to 40 pounds and then PS to get rid of my tummy. I want to be in a normal BMI range and 44 pounds will do that, but I hope to be able to stabalize sooner and then have the tummy tuck to get rid of the rest.. Of course i would be happy to just lose right on down to my goal, but that is going to take forever at my current weight loss average ( over the last 4 months). I am losing about 4 to 8 pounds a month. I just checked on that---better than I thought it was, so guess I am not doing all that bad!! Julia W.

i'm still 45 lbs from goal.....been stuck since thanksgiving....playing with the same 3 lbs....been driving me nuts!!!!! Ruth Ann

I not at goal yet. I have to lose at least 50 more pounds, and havent lost any for 2 months now. I have increased my exercise, and I am watching what I eat but still no luck on the losing. I have my one year check today, he couldnt get me in any sooner. My surgery date was April 24, 2006, so it has been two weeks since then. I am going to talk to my nut today to see what I can do to start the weight loss again. I am not gaining, just not losing, and no I am not losing inches either. Hope all is well I have been MIA for alittle while, but have been busy. I am currently in Chicago as that is where my doctor is. Kathleen

I still have 12 to go. I haven't really lost anything since January. I am starting to think this might be it. If so, I am happy. Just want to make sure I don't gain!

I am not at goal yet either, I still have about 20 more to go. I have lost 135lbs so far, but I want to get down to 170. I am 5'9" so I look good where I am and I feel good, but I don't want my bmi to say I am still overweight, I want a normal bmi. The weight loss has slowed down for me also. It is funny because they tell you these things and I know I was thinking well I am going to be the exception, well guess what I am normal... If I don't lose any more weight I am happy, but I would love to be 170, then go in for plastic surgery and hopefully they can remove about 15lbs of skin and then I will be doing great. Deanna
