Not only am I somewhat stalled, I gained 5 pounds. I don't know..... But I do like the numbers I'm seeing so far. Highest Weight - 320+ I'll never really know for sure.... Surgery Weight - 312 Excess Weight to Goal - 104 (goal of 140) Weight Today - 244.0 Total Pounds Lost - 75 My trainer took this measurement when I began training: (September) Body Fat percentage: 47.5% (December) Body Fat percentage: 38.8% I'm always relunctant to say that these pounds are "gone forever". I always remind myself that I could easily find myself back at 320 lbs if I do not begin to establish healthy habits NOW.

WOW! ! CONGRATS!!! What an awesome acomplishment. Hooray on the boosted confidence!!

I never posted before but I thought I'd give it a try Highest: 302 DOS: 283 Today: 164 Loss of 138 from highest wt. Loss of 119 from DOS. I am 5'7 and in a size 10
