Almost a Year out! poll!!

Started at about 276 (that was week before surgery but I know I was in the 280's for awhile) Current 173-175 depending on the week My goal, to get under 200 lbs, then I started shooting for 180 now weigh less than high school and not trying to loose any more just wanted to hit the 100lbs marker when I made 180 gone total loss at 11 1/2 months out 100-103 lbs. Maintaining that for about 3 months+ In size 10-loose 14 depending (would be more like a 12 if not for tummy skin, ugh!) Doctor never gave me a goal but if I am at 173 I am "normal" and not overweight on BMI Lovin life and cleaning out my closet! (was a 24 pants before surgery, 26-28 usually in shirt, or 3XL or 4XL...now L, XL even some M!)

I want to get in on this too even If it's late~~ Wow! Has this been an incredible journey for everyone!! I'm so proud of all of you!! I've lost a total of 120 pounds so far and my goal is around 160 pounds. The weight loss has slowed tremendously for me since 6mos out but my docs keep telling me that all is well. I'm getting the calories in that I need for healthy weight loss, exercising ya-da ya-da ya-da. BUT I'm still losing weight. My energy is up there. I've gone from a tight size 28 to a tight 14. I'll take it. Best wishes to all of you!!!!!!!!!!! Penny 315/190/160

Wow - we all have done so well! My starting weight was 333, and now I weigh 192 - that's 141 pounds gone! I'm 5'6", and my doctor's goal is 160, which sounds good to me. So, 32 pounds to go. I feel so much better, and my health is greatly improved. Terri

Wow ! Everyone has done so well!!! I never thought I would be where I am today a year ago.It is hard to believe that May 4th will make it a year ...Where has the time gone ? I weighed 280 pounds the date of surgery. My docs goal was 175 my goal was 160 and I so far have surpassed them both weighing in at 153-155 depending on when I weigh I was 5'9" and now 5'10" and actually have a normal BMI for the first time in almost 20 years !!! I have gone from size 24-26 to size 10-12 and some 8's ! I still like my clothes a little loose though for old time sake.. Keep up the great work everyone ! Kathy
