1 year check-up

Hello fellow Maysters! I had my one year check-up today, even though it is technically one year and 2 weeks. I have lost 163 pounds (166 on my scale!), which is 90% of my excess body weight. The surgeon was very pleased, he said most patients lose on average about 70 to 80%. My BMI is 25.5, which is 'overweight', I am 4 pounds from being 'normal'. The appt. went good, except he told me I need to exercise more. Which I know, I am just getting lazy. I blamed the wintertime, and me being so cold. But I do need to get back in gear so I don't gain any weight back. I hope everyone has equally wonderful check-ups!! Stacy

Don't want to sound lazy but......the same to you.... Sounds Good!!!!! It is so hard to believe that we have made it to a year!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! Jen

Stacy, Congratulations! My surgeon says that the goal for year 1 is for the patient to lose 70% of the excess weight so you are far beyond that goal. Hey, guess what, exercise will keep you warm at least for a while. If it helps, stop by here daily and post to Lori's daily exercise post. It really helps alot of us be accountable for our activity levels. Best wishes, Kathy

Congrats, Stacy. Good job!! Eileen

75% in one year is good so you are doing very well! Congrats!

Great progress, a huge weight loss! Proud of ya. Mary
