Monthly Weigh-in Anyone?

Hello All of my fellow Augustians... My weight at the time of surgery: 236 lbs My current weight .......................172 lbs Total weight loss ........................ 64 lbs Size of clothes at surgery ............18/20's Current Size ..............................12 Dorise

386 - Highest weight (2001) 344 - Weight at consultation (Feb 2005) 323 - Weight day of surgery (8/17/05) 239 - today (01/15/05) 84 pounds since surgery; 145 down since my heaviest. Was a 26/28; now an 18/20 or ocassional 14/16 We are all around the same loss...that makes me feel better!

I'll add my stats to the list..next month I will try to log in earlier!! Pre-surgery 236 Current 180 (and stuck here for 2 1/2 weeks) Goal 145, long term 150 On another website, I read that most WLS patients find it easier to maintain a weight 5-10 pounds ABOVE where they stopped losing. So I adjusted my goal down 5 pounds, I will try to stay there for a few months, and then if I creep up to 150 maybe it will be a little easier to maintain there. I exercise a lot...3-4 times a week aerobic, 2-3 times strength and at least 2 yoga classes a week. I can now wear size 16 pants with NO elastic...found a great pair at Target, which has some pretty cute stuff at good prices when you have to change sizes frequently. Can wear L or XL tops depending on the style. I wear scrubs at work, which is great since they are cheaper to replace...Think my XL are getting TOO baggy and will go out to try on some Larges...never thought I would get out of those plus sizes (I started in 2xl pants and 3xl tops...
