Are you at or close to your goal weight?

I'm about 41 pounds from my personal goal weight. Surgeon set their goal for me at 112 pounds lost, I have lost 104. So 8 pounds from their goal. Is anyone here close to goal? How much did you have to lose to begin with?

I am 48 lbs away from my doctors goal he set of 170 lbs. My personal goal is 170 also. I started out at 363.5 and have lost 145.5 lbs so far. So that will make a grand total loss of 193.5 lbs by the time I am done. Congrats on being so close to goal. I need a few more months and I will be at mine also....I figure by April....I take it all in small steps and it seems to be working. Kel

I am in the home stretch, less than 10 lbs to go and I am finding that I spend less and less time on the scale 'checking' my progress. it is a blessed relief to get over the scale addiction and the food monitoring. I am less stressed about my quantities and portions. I know now about what I can and can not do. occasionally I mess up, like earlier this week, I had some contraband meatloaf that was not lean and I paid the price. but for the most part, I am able to sail through my days. if I go to bed or wake up achey I know that my fluid intake is agonizingly low. I started out 275 consult I have lost 116 total 88.5 post op I am +9 lbs and 40 week post consult and 28 weeks post op from goal.

20 lbs from goal...currently 180. Lost 80 so far...I feel as though it might take forever since my surgeon told me that his expierence is that most people take around 6 months to lose that last 20 lbs. Hope not!

My surgeon never gave me a goal. But my personal goal is about 35 Lbs away. I am losing ever-so-slow the last 2 months. Anyone else experiencing this??

I am 1.4 pounds from my personal goal weight, am already about 20 pounds under the doctor's conservative goal weight. Had my checkup Friday and the PA said I don't need to lose another pound, they are thrilled with my weight. No eating issues either. Down 104 pounds since surgery, 121 since heaviest ever. Life is good. Hawkeye Mike

I started at 270, and I am currently 168. So that means I am only 28 pounds away from my surgens goal. But I am 38 pounds away from my personal goal. You guys are all doing so great, you should be proad! Hugs, Jacqueline

Well I'm a lot closer to my goal that I was 6 months ago I started out at 266 and have lost 71lbs I wasn't given a goal by my surgeon, but my personal goal is 135lbs so only 60 to go. Over half way there - yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have about 30lbs left to the surgeon's goal and 45 to my personnal goal and i believe that slow and steady will win this! I am now losing pitifully slow and i think for some reason my body is hoarding fat for the winter. I'll just keep dancing and laughing it off as long as i possibly can.
