½ The woman I was-Woot!!

Good mornin' IL friends As of this morning I have lost 160lbs I weigh ½ of my weight on the the day of my WLS-8.14.03. Can anyone tell me the % of weight I lost? I suck at math!! Thanks! I've updated my profile in case anyone is interested Tracy -160lbs TT/BL 3.28.05

hey girl, way to go!!! As for math, i'd say if you lost 1/2 of what u started out at, you'd be right at about 50%. Keep up the good work Kristi

Hey Kristi Thanks for the kind words See.... I don't get it.... last time I saw my surgeon he said I had lost 65% of my excess weight.... but I suck at math so I dunno. Who cares right?? It's gone! Tracy

Hi Tracy, In order to figure this out... tell me what you started at, and what the doctors goal for you to lose when you started, and then how much you have lost of that amount. You have lost 50% of what you started at, but if you are almost at goal, then that would be a different figure. Let me know, we'll figure it out. Kristi

Kristi I started out at 319lbs(day of surgery) Dr. set no "number" goal for me but I told him I want to get down to 130-140lbs. My only real goal was to walk w/o my stupid quad cane and to be able to keep up with my boys..twin 8y.o.'s Right now I weigh 158lbs (-161lbs) Thanks for your help! Tracy

so lets say you wanted to lose 180 lbs, you have lost 160, if my math is right, you've lost 88% of what you wanted to lose then regardless of what percentage, you've done outstanding

Hey Kristi Thanks! Speaking of outstanding......... I was out standing on my porch and I about froze... Tracy -161lbs now

Tracy congrats!! that is fabulous... I can't wait till I am there too.. Debby

Hey Debby Thanks and don't worry...... you will be there!! Tracy

Youre doing GREAT!! Keep it up and dont be such a stranger Love, Kathy
