Total lbs needed to lose to goal?
Curious how many lbs everyone is at to lose until goal. Meaning, how many more lbs from HERE do you need to lose?
I started at my HIGHEST at 294... I was 272 day of surgery... today I'm at 215. I'm 5'7 and would like to weigh 150i****hink. As of today I have a total of 65lbs to goal. When I put it in prespective - I've already lost 57lbs since the day of surgery and 79lbs from my highest so I feel that it's finally within reach.
Have lost 78 pounds so far, only about 9 pounds to reach my surgeon's goal (a really conservative goal at that) and about 30 to reach my personal goal. Would love to reach it by my 6 month surgiversary but............the pounds drop a lot slower now. By the way the surgeon's goal would put me at the very top of being in the overweight catagory, whereas my goal would put me in the middle range of overweight. With my unusual build, long torso-short legs, I weigh more than the average person of the same height.

I started at my Highest 740lbs - 10/02 and lost on Weigh****chers & Drugs.
At Christmas 2005 I was 600lbs. - Started diet under my Surgeon's care.
On my Surgery Date was 560lbs. - that's minus 180lbs. already woohoo.
As of Today currently at 475lbs. - another 85lbs. gone to good.
My Goal is get down to 200lbs. Then Bulk back up with Total Muscle. To a Prime 225lbs. So still need to lose 275lbs.
Started at 164 and I currently weigh 189... yeah.. that makes my loss a total of 75 pounds total... I would like to get to 135-145... which means i need to loose 44 to 54 pounds.. I am big boned with a lot of muscle so not sure if 135 is doable and I am trying to be realistic. 135 would put me in the middle/low range of my ideal weight and 145 would put me at the high end.
I started this journey at 330... My doc originally said he'd be happy if I lost 100 lbs. I remember thinking, I wonder if I can really do that.
Well, it's about 3 months after surgery, and I'm down a total of 84 lbs. 26 before, and 58 after surgery. The doc and I have revised that goal, and now I want to have my weight start with a "1". I don't care if it's 199, just so it starts with a 1.
So, I'm 2/3 of the way there. 47 to go!
