Post your success!

oops, made a mistake on my post. My day of surgery weight was 262. Current weight 155 Pounds to goal: I think I am at goal. I like being here.

I am feeling kinda like a failure! Seem to be losing sooooooooooo slow last couple of months, but I have had alot of unrelated health issues. Marla 335/195/138 Loss so far 140lbs size clothes at surgery 30/32 now 14 tops...18 bottoms

Yah, I want to cry reading all of these posts. I weigh NOW what most of you STARTED at!! But I feel and look better than ever. I just haven't lost a pound in over a month and i'm starting to feel like this is the smallest i'll ever be. I know what I need to do, but i'm losing motivation and i'm getting distracted with other things in life. BACK TO BASICS for me. Highest weight: 376 Surgery weight: 347 Weight today: 226 Total loss: 150 lbs to personal goal: 51 surgery date: 11/29/06 Size before 32/34+ (elastic everything) Size now: 16-20 (depending on brand/cut) Ring size went from 12 to 8 Too many wow moments to count. Cholesterol used to be 230+, it's now under 160. I used to be diabetic, now my blood sugars are under 90. I tried on a wedding gown in a size 22 last week and it was so big it fell off of me. Oh, and a sweetheart from this board gave me Gap size 20 jeans. I put them away when I was bigger, hoping to fit into them someday, and when I pulled them out recently to try on for the "heck of it" and they just about fell off. I never got to wear them!!! Bummers are: Spending SOOO much money on clothes all the time. (thank GOD for my bargain-finding abilities, hand-me-downs and the Good Will, although I have NO WINTER CLOTHES!!). Also, knowing i'd be at least 2 sizes smaller if I didn't have this HUGE apron of a belly in front of me. It's really gross.
