Four in a half months update

Hey thought I'd do an update. I saw Dr. B for the first time since my surgery June 5th a couple of weeks ago and he said I'm doing extremely well..so well that he had originally set my goal for 200 lbs. but I'm already more then halfway to that goal so he decided to make it harder and set a new goal for 170 and then he'd get the ball rolling for the tummy tuck which he said would probably take off another 10 lbs. at least. I think I'm being a bit harder on myself though, my personal goal is 130. I get on our new treadmill every day now for around 30 to 40 mins or so..I find I actually enjoy it. Since I had the surgery I"ve lost around 48 lbs..but since I first saw him at the first consulation until now I"ve lost 88 lbs..and he was going by that..The next time he sees me he says he wants to see me mountain bike there which is like a 3 hour drive from where I live..I told him he might be expecting a bit much;) So at my very first weigh in I weighed 322 lbs..I now weigh 242 lbs and I" ve managed to stop weighing myself every day and now only weigh myself on Mondays.

Hi Pamela, Sounds like things are going great! good for you.How are you deciding on your goal?Is it by BMI or something else? Keep up the good work! Cheers Donna

No I'm not going by BMI...I'm going by what I weighed at one point when I felt and looked well. Thanks !

CONGRATS!!! You are doing great, keep up the good work. It's really nice to get updates.. It's been almost a year for me and I still weigh myself almost every day LOL... I dont' think I will ever get over that compulsion... *L* Angela
