Weightloss updates

How is everyone doing with their scales???  Mine is driving me crazy.  I had RNY on Nov 12th.  I've gone from 240 to 179 but, these last 6 pounds have come off very very very slowly.  I'm trying to be optimistic but, i'm starting to worry I'm not going to reach my goal!!!  I'm working on bumping up the exercising!  I know I'll get there!  I want to hear other stories give us your weightloss updates...

The weight loss has slowed down big time.  down 92 lbs, love it, but still 8lbs at least to go.  I went from a size 20 to a size 4-6.  235 start, now at 143lbs.

Hi there...

I have lost 108 lbs...so far.

had my surgery 11/11/09 im down 103lbs

My scale is driving me crazy too.  I am ready to throw it out!  I am down 80 lbs since my 11/18 surgery.  Down 120 from my highest weight.

I really wanted to be further along than this with my 6 month surgiversary coming up but I am not exercising like I should.

I am getting on the band wagon starting tomorrow! 

I am also down 108 pounds.  I feel like the last couple of months have been real slow loss.  I don't even know what my goal is, I was never told how much I should weigh.  I started at 293 and now I weigh 185.  I put my goal at 160, do you think that is ok or too high?  Just wondering how to figure that out.

I too am struggling now. I mean at first with no effort the pounds were just melting away. Now it seems I better start incorporating some regular exercise or I won't lose much. My doctor tells me the first 6 months are crucial in trying to lose as much as you can because after 6 months the weight loss slows and you really have to put some work in your diet and exercise. He stated you'll still lose, but you definitely have to make super smart food choices and exercise regularly. I was hoping to lose 100lbs at least by June 1st, but it's not looking good. I got a whole month, but that's still steep. Good luck everyone and I hope all of our stalls and or slow downs change for the better soon.

When I first spoke to my family doctor about the option of surgery, I tipped the scales at 325Lbs at 33 years old and standing at 5'8"...When I got my first consultation with the surgeons office, I had managed to get down to 288 Lbs...on day of surgery I weighed in at 274Lbs. I had my surgery on November 10 / 2009..I have managed to get down as low as 188Lbs but have since gained some weight back (putting me at 202Lbs again)....Dietician claims I may be building muscle since I gained that wieght  byt yet me pant sizes continue to drop...My surgeons goal weight for me was to get down to 200 Lbs and maintane it! The dietician said she'd be impressed if I got down to between 180 and 185 Lbs and maintained that. My personal goal is between 160 and 165Lbs....However...my dietician thinks 160 to 165 Lbs is too much

It's been so long since I have posted anything! Had gastric bypass (revised from Lap Band) Nov 13th. Have lost 60 lbs. Started at 202. and now at 141. I love it but only loss 1/2 to 1 lb a week right now! It's my own fault. Just not being as careful. It's mentally harder now but I am still chipping away! I need to take my bosy to the next step!
