Compare your BMIs
My starting BMI was
45.5- extremely obese
Now after 8 months it is
27.70 overweight.
Just 16.6 pounds and I will be NORMAL...LOL! as if!
I have screwed around for a whole month and gained 3.2 pounds. Back on track on after the 4th. Back to losing weight, rather than gaining or treading water.
On a side note, I have gone from a 3x top to XL/L and from 24W pants to anywhere from 8/10s to loose 16s. Mostly 12 and 14s.
In just 8 months....WOW!

265/161.6/145 for starters, then maybe 135-130
The highest I was ever weighed at was 422 (in 1997) and my BMI was 60.5 (Super Obese). (I probably went over that, but finding a scale that went that high was hard!)
When I started my WLS journey I was 345 and my BMI was 49.5.
Today I'm 222 and my BMI is 31.9.
I'm half the person I used to be! Yaaay! I'd like to get down to 190, and then get a tummy tuck and see how close that will leave me to "normal" for my height which is 176, but honestly if I never lost another pound from where I am now, I would still be happy. Compared to where I've been, this is heaven!
Good idea Marcia!
Before surgery I had a BMI of 57.4 (Super Obese). Now, I have a BMI of 41.3 (Extremely Obese). I have ten more pounds to go before I reach just Obese! Boy, I can't wait to just NOT be the "O" word anymore! I'll get there eventually. I'm on a stall right now and it's driving me nuts! Everyone continues to do great! Happy 4th of July!
