Am I about done losing????

Hey All. I know it may be a silly question. But am I done losing? Is there anyone else out there that is 5'8" and started out over 300 lbs.? I have lost 157 lbs in 9 months. It has slowed down A LOT! Will I lose anymore? I have checked out some people that are my height and around the weight I was and they are about 135 lbs. I am 153, only 2 lbs. from goal, but I'd like to be about 140 lbs. Do you think I will ever get there, or am I at the point where I may start gaining, losing, gaining, losing? Thanks for any help on this situation! Erin 310/153/151

hey Erin i'm only 5'5" and I feel like i'm done at 148 I just go back and forth between 148 and 150 but you know what in a single diget size clothes so i'm perfectly fine with it but I would like to lose 10 more myself but like I said i'm happy where i'm at. I think our bodies know where to stop. Marcey 255/148/150

Yeah I was just curious. I gained 4 lbs this week. It seems to do that often. I lose a good amonut and then it comes back and comes off again after my period. It's just frustrating! Erin

I sure as hell hope not...I am going up and down with the same two pounds...I want to lose another 25/30 pounds...and it is not going anywhere soon, it seems...I am working out like crazy...not eating very much...maybe it is just time for our bodies to play catch up....I know I am losing inches...my bathing trunks fell off a few weeks ago...it will happen, when it happens...enjoy yourself now...and tomorrow will come...

Boy I am sorry I issed the trunks falling off!!...lol. I just get tired of gaining anf losing, gaining and losing. You know what I mean? Erin

Man, I hope not! I am 5'8 and was 330 the day of surgery and today I'm weighing in at 177..........so my goal is 160--- I intend to get there...it just will take a little longer than I would like, since we don't have as much to loose anymore....I know how you feel though...I so desperately want to get to goal so that I can not focus so much on the numbers but so that I can start maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Don't worry.......WE WILL MAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs Vickie 330/177/160

I thought the same thing recently, but I discovered I was violating the rules of the pouch and drinking with meals... Now I am following all the rules and I finally broke a plateau....I am 5 pounds from my goal of "normal" weight for my height..... I really thought that my pouch was huge and was going to gain all my weight back....but if I follow the rules, I can really only eat a few bites before I am full....

Tanja, Thank you for this post. This is what I need to be doing. I seem to be eating normal and drinking with my meals. Maybe if I go back to liguids for the weekend, it will boost my weight loss again! Erin

I started at 322 and have been at 214 for a month but I have only been eating about once every two days...I have no appetite. My docs goal for me is 175 and with all my probs I will take a long time to get there. What is your surgeons goal for you??? ~shannon

I am 5'8" and right now weigh 170.5 on my doctor's scales. My personal goal is to hit 150 on my surgeon's scales so I'm hoping and praying that I haven't hit rock bottom yet! Weight loss has slowed but not totally stopped yet. I've got twenty more to go and need to really put my mind to things and get on the plateau buster diet to get things moving quicker. Anyhow, enjoy life and keep smilin'! I know I am. Peggy B.
