Slowly crawling to twoville....

The 200's are going to sneak up on you and then you will have to do like I did and rush to the drs office to confirm you no longer weigh 300 lbs or more.

Keep it up!

Fairly good week

surgery wt:  344
last week:  193.2
this week:  192.0

loss this week  1.2
total loss:  152.0

You keep it up and you are going to be at goal before you know it!

I am forever stuck 2 lbs from 200 lost.

BW - 440
SW - 405
LW - 242
TW - 242

On a good note I can fit into some 18s now and while I've been able to wear hubbies shirts for months I can now fit into his pants too (at least his larger ones - we are still both trying to fit into his 40s and 38s). Too bad he's a foot taller than me or I'd have a new wardrobe!

I understand your frustration because as bad as I hate to admit it, I get validation from that scale heading downwards but for you to be fitting 18s is great!  I just got in to the 22s you sent me which goes to show that the scale doesn't reflect size. 

Well, you know, it is what it is. I started this journey in rather good shape for someone my size. I wasn't in good shape in general but I could out-exercise many of my female friends who were 60-100lbs lighter and 2-6inches taller and around the same age. I still weigh so much but I'd like to think that some of that is lean muscle mass. I have a close friend who is a doc and at my highest she didn't think I was over 375. She was very surprised when I said I was 440. That still seems to be the case with me I think. The other possibility is that there is a really tiny frame under here, because at my highest I was wearing 32s and a lot of people in the 400s have moved well past 32s. Who knows!

I am pleased that I am still physically shrinking because the scale situation is more than frustrating. I don't weigh myself more than once a week now for my own sanity. I am happy with where I've gotten and I hope its not over but it is what it is. I got to the 60% of excess weight gone. I was hoping for more but at least by the surgery's standard I am a success.

I think you are a total SUCCESS.... You have lost almost 200#  that too me says a lot about your dedication and hard work!!  I think you look beautiful!!!
