Hello October Buddies.... You all have done so Great! Congratulations to all of you. I have finally made it to 100 lbs lost last week. It feels wonderful. My starting weight the day of surgery was 363 lbs. Today I am at 262 lbs. My goal is around 135 - 145 lbs. I still have a long way to go, but slowly I will make it. I'm not in a rush as long as the scale keep moving in the right direction I am fine with it. I was on a plataue for a long while but finally the scale has started to move again and my clothes feel looser and looser. Barbara Watts

Hello starting weight 312 weight now 188.5 my goal is to be 180 my surgeons goal 160-165 thats it for me and my height is 5'7 Rikka

Well reading this was helpful! Highest weight: 246 At day of surgery: 226 Today: 155.5 Weight loss to date: 90.5 Height: 5'4" Goal: 135 Pounds left to lose: 19.5 Pounds I am losing each month based on last four months average: 6 I should reach my goal weight by the end of September. This is good because that is when the Fall sales start. By the by, I sold my plus sized clothes on Ebay and made enough for my "summer transitional" wardrobe. Yippee.... And a good thing because it would have been very embarrassing to be wearing my 2-3X and have them fall to the floor in the supermarket or something.....[actually heard that one woman replaced all but underwear and that they fell off her at the checkout in her local market....] Terry

I'm late responding, but I'll do it anyway to add to the totals Preop - 349 Current - 217 Loss to date - 132 My next mini goal is to be below 200, and my current "end" goal is 180, but I may re-evaluate when I get close to it. My real goal is to fit into any size 12 jeans/pants. I'm currently in 14/16! Amy Lap RNy 10/22/03
