Okay, move over you guys, I need to fit in here too! LOL. I have 123.6 left to lose to reach my goal. That looks much better than the 222 pounds that I did have! Congrats to us all for having the faith to trust our doctors with this amazing surgery! Hugs to us all!!! Sherry

*scoots over* come on in!!! lolol. WOW you are doing so well!! I so hear you about how the amount we have to lose now sounds SO MUCH BETTER then the amount we started with lol. I had 277lbs to lose when I started and I can still remember clearly thinking.. NO WAY its going to happen. BUT I am/was wronggggg!! Never been so happy to be wrong about something in my life lolol. Welcome to the group lol We will make it to goal together!!!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Make room for me too!!! I started at 389 Surg day 376 Today 307!!! 82lbs down!!! My ideal BMI is between 140 and 150. My doc gave me a goal of 216, but I plan to push to at least 180. sooooooooo 307-180=127lbs to go to my high goal, 157 to go to ideal. The numbers areny even the biggest deal for me. In just a hair over 3 months out I am off both blood pressure meds, off my acid reflux meds, and my c-pap settings have been lowered be half!!! My ankle which I broke the day afte rChristmas 2005 that was not healing correctly is beginning to feel better.....soooooooo yeah, the health is improving already too. This surgery really can be a miracle tool if you do what the docs tell ya to do!!!

Well, if I were to trust those weight charts, I would have about a hundred left to lose...but I don't trust them, especially since someone told me they were compiled during WWII, when there were food shortages and everyone was hungry! Because I'm only 5', the charts have me really low. The lowest I've weighed as an adult was 124. I reached that at 19, through starvation, quickly shot back up to 130, and maintained that through starvation and pills...and I was thin! Clearly, 95-115 lbs is not where I am meant to be. I was going to aim for 130, but have been re-thinking that...I mean, if I could only maintain that in my early 20s through dangerous means...maybe 140 is more sensible a goal for me at my current age and for maintaining good health going forward. And, rather than starving myself, I want to build muscle, which has its weigh too. So...if I am setting 140 as my goal, I have 82 to go...but I'm keeping an open mind at this point - that goal could change.
