Almost a Year out! poll!!

Thought this would be interesting to find out how close others are to their doctors goal and personal goal! I am 40 pounds from Dr's goal of 200lbs 65 lbs from my personal goal of 175. Total loss of 183 so far at 11 1/2 months out Lisa

I am 2 pounds under my doctor's goal of 150. My goal is 145....3lbs to go! Total loss of 106 lbs at not quite 11 months out. Andrea

I am 30 pounds from Dr's goal of 140 lbs Total loss of 103 pounds after 11 months.

I'm 5"1. At 9 months out I reached 131 which I've now maintained for 6 weeks so I feel thats it. My doc's goal was 135-150. I weighed more in 6th grade. I'm in the appeal process for cosmetic surgery on my thighs, stomach and breasts---lots of loose skin

Lisa- You're looking so good! My doctor's goal was anywhere from 130-160. My personal goal is an ever-changing number but these days I'm thinking 135. Today, I was (drum roll, please) 147, with a BMI of 24. I haven't weighed this little in 18 years. When I started this journey, and ppl asked what I wanted to weigh, I would tell them that I dreamed of 140, but that 160 would be GREAT and I'd be happy with 180. Now, with all the skin hanging, I wonder if I'll ever be able to look at myself naked and not see FAT. I look and think, "no WAY there's only 12 extra pounds making my tummy and thighs look like THIS". Then I get dressed and feel MUCH better. Hope everyone is feeling healthy and happy and enjoying spring as much as I am!! Hugs, Susan

Cool... I'm 13 pounds from my doctor's goal (under 200) 28 pounds from my personal goal of 185 Total loss: 123 pounds at 11 1/2 months. Blessings, -Perry 376/335/212/185 123 Pounds Gone!

HI Lisa, I reached my goal of 168 (I'm 6' tall), at 8.5 months out. Kept loosing a bit. Now maintain at 155-157, 11-13 lbs UNDER goal! Pam rny 5/13/04 268/157 below goal & maintaining

Hi all, I'm 35 pounds from my goal of 165. I've lost 145 lbs. in 11 months started at 345 and now down to 200. Good luck to everyone and God Bless. Debra

I knew this board wasn't dead! Look at all of ya alive and kicking! Everyone is doing so wonderful!!

Well my Dr goal was to get to 175lbs, I am curretnly at 183lbs and still standing. Unfortunetly I will probably not be losing anymore for now, but hope to be able to lose after the baby is born. My goal for myself is 130-135lbs so I am still about 50lbs over my goal. I really fear that I will not reach a healthy weight. I will be 18 months out from surgery, when the baby comes, so my honeymoon period will be over. I am blessed though, because I beleive that if I hadnt had the surgery and lost the weight I did I would not have gotten pregnant and had another chance on having a beautiful baby. You are all doing so good keep up the good work, I still have 1 month and 2 days before my 1 yr is up.- Melissa 298/183/130
