HOW MUCH MORE TILL GOAL??

I started at 227 lbs and today I weigh 137 lbs. My doctor said he doesn't like to set a number. I just thought I would lose until I felt happy with where I'm at. I'm wearing a size 6 or 8, and if I didn't lose another pound would not be disappointed. I have so loved hearing from friends and co-workers that one question...."You aren't going to lose anymore are you?" That tells me more than any bathroom scale ever could. The bottom line is, I could never have acheived this without WLS, and I would do this again in a heartbeat. I wish you all the success you deserve!! Nicola

I started out weighing 354lbs,today I weigh in at 191. 163lbs gone forever! If I didnt loose another pound I would still be just as happy at my current weight. My Dr. didn't set a goal for me,I figure where ever I feel comfortable I will stop and try to maintain. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Tricia, You are doing GREAT! It is so easy for us to want to comapre ourselves to others. One of my girlfriends had surgery 4 months before me, so she had a huge head start and i always compare myself to her. I guess it is just human nature. I was 267 right after surgery, and I am now at 153. I surpassed my Drs goal about 20 lbs ago, now I am working on my own goal of weighing roughly 130.My Dr. calls those vanity lbs. lol I haven't started out at the gym yet..will after xmas9waiting for that as a xmas gift) and I am alittle worried of putting on a few lbs, but I no I will shrink in size so that is ok.
