I have met my goal.. I wanted to be at 160 by july 20 and I have done it and then some. I weigh 153 as of this morning..It going up and down 3lbs or so ,, I am very happy with my journey. I wont make the surgeons goal of 145 but I dont care I have very pleased at where i am.. Now to maintain is my goal.. If I lose anything under 160 I say it all bonus..But I have only been losing 10 lbs in 3 months which is slow now but I think it is better I dont have any sagging skin...but still have a belly..not know where as big..I can feel my bones,, my ribs its all good.. very happy with me being happy and healthier..

This may seem strange, but I really didn't have a one year goal set for myself. I am happy with the progress I've made in this past year. I don't expect I'll be at goal by my surgiversary, but I'll be darn close.

Hey Linda, We started close to the same and are around the same weight now too...LOL I started out at 395 and today I am 231... my weight goes up and down all month long with no big losses like before. My goal is to be 190 (lower if I can get there). Right now I am trying to loose 10 pounds per month, and I am not hitting that... so with that being said my goal for July 31st is 205... I am not sure I can make that... but that is ok... look at how far we have come so far. Congrats on all your progresses so far. Susan

Topic: closing in on our 1 yr surgerversaries

Hi all, I don't post too often but am a lurker. But I got to thinking that our 1 yr surgerversary is coming up pretty quick and am wondering how close you are all doing at making your 1 yr goal and what's keeping you motivated to get there. I started at 409 and am currently at 228. My goal for 1 yr was to be under 200 with my ultimate goal around 180. I'm 5'9" so that isn't to crazy. I've been worried lately that I won't make it to my goal and have been very frustrated about it. I can't believe how slow my scale is moving and how much it bounces up and down now. I have been trying to walk more and have even starting jogging. Me jogging? who'd have thought that?? But my scale still just doesn't want to move. I know most of us have 2 months to our 1 yr but to me that seems to soon and too much for me to lose yet to make my goal. So I could use the words of encouragement to me and I'm sure others as we all reach this amazing milestone in our new lives. Linda

Topic: RE: WOW moments are very suttle

The WOWs are more subtle, you're right... I bought a pair of size 16 pants on clearance from Target ($6!!) and I was happy with them and all....but I had to remember that never had worn a 16 before. Ever! Even as a teenager I was a 20 or 22 at my smallest. A size 16 would never have gone over my knees before surgery.
