How much have you lost?

Pam I'll give you "my" boobies! Take two tube socks and put a tennis ball in each of the socks. Hold them up to your chest. Look familiar? Yeah, that's what mine look like now, too. Chin up, sistah! Diana

Nope....Pam- you'd have to share the booby prize with me. We have the EXACT statistics!! Marcy

How about the "Bobby" prize??? I think you are doing GREAT!!! Could any of us have done this WITHOUT the surgery? I know I couldn't

Bibby, In answer to your questions: 1)- What was your weight pre-op? 225 lbs 2)- What is your goal weight? 110 lbs 3)- How much have you lost already? 77 lbs 4)- How much total weight do you want to lose? (#1 - #2) 115 lbs 5)- What percentage of excess weight have you lost? (#3 / #4) 66.9% You're right about the percentages putting things into perspective. I was a bit down about the "slow" rate I was losing at but feel much better now. Actually, I think I'm doing great since I had to have two additional surgeries (7/30 & 8/24) due to complications and spent a total of 38 days in the hospital from 7/7/04-9/2/04. So, I had a very slow start because of the complications and hosiptal stays. Thanks for posting. Rhonda DS on 7/704 225/148/110

Sorry to hear about you complications. I'm glad you are doing better now

Had surgery July 28th so not quite 6 months yet but here I am: Pre op 364 Goal 160 Lost 108 Want to lose 364 - 160 = 204 Percentage 108 / 204 = 53% Lisa Spiker

ALRIGHT!!!! Keep it up!!!

This is such a great thread, b/c we get to see what other ppl's goals are. I feel like we always read about where we started and where we are, but rarely what our desired end result is. Thanks!! 1) 238 (starting wt) 2) 128 (goal wt) 3) 89 (lbs lost) 4) 110 (total lbs to lose) 5) 81% (percentage lost: rounded up!) Although I have my goal of 128 (set by my doc) I am grateful to be where I am right now!! Margaret

You are doing an AWESOME job!!!

I'm loving this... success is wonderful!!! 1)- What was your weight pre-op? 326 2)- What is your goal weight? 140 3)- How much have you lost already? 77 4)- How much total weight do you want to lose? 186 5)- What percentage of excess weight have you lost? 41%
