Met surgeons goal!!!

I can hardly believe it myself!!! I was never given a goal weight. I made sure to ask about it today, at my appt with surgeon. She said there goal is for all of their patients to lose 70% of their excess weight. I was 169lbs over weight and have already lost over 70%. I am currently 177, and I started at 293! I was a little shocked to say the least! I said, so this is it???? She asked if I was happy, I said of course YES, then asked if I wanted to lose more, and I said YES! And seeing as I am only 8 months out, she says there is no reason I can't work toward 140-150...I about died!! So to make a long story short, I am at my surgeons goal and now working towards my own....35 more pounds to go!!! Wish me luck! Jesi

Jesi, to you. I know you are so happy. Keep on your journey girl..... best of luck to you....Lorraine 12/15/03 245 lbs Size 22/24 7/04 .....145 lbs "goal" -100 pds Size 8 Keep

That is wonderful news to share and I can't help smiling reading it. I went to my doctor yesterday and told him how far behind everyone else I am and he said QUIT COMPARING. It is pretty hard not to. I told him everything I eat and what I do for exercise and if I should do anything different and he said no. He said I am a slow loser, but it is steady and to quit worrying. (it is hard not to feel disapointed) I hope someday to be posting happy good news like yours, but in the meantime, your good news will give me hope for the day. Thank you
