1st Goal Met 16 Months Out

I had the DS Aug 26 2012 I am a little over 16 months out and I have lost 255 lbs.  I finally weighed this week and realized I met one of the few goals I had previously made.  Sorry I have been so absent from this board, I remember many of you fondly and hope you are all doing well,  It has not always been easy but its working.... BMI from 84 to 40... amazing!

Well Geesch I had surgery August 26 2011! I may have lost some smarts along the way! LOL

Awesome!

It's good to hear from those of us that were heavier that you  were able to meet goals even if it's only the first or last goal along the way.

Keep up the good work!

Congrats!

I am 5 weeks out from my DS today and have lost nearly 30 pounds.  Prior to that, I did weigh****chers and lost 55 pounds.

To see that you've lost so much weight in only 16 months gives me hope that it is indeed doable.  Sometimes when the numbers are so big, it's easy to get discouraged.  I think that I have another 120-140 pounds to go.  Hopefully, you will see a post from me in 6 months or so, stating that I've gotten there!!

Zowie,

You have done an amazing job of losing the weight. Good for you. I love a success story such as yours. It makes it all seem doable in this moment as I sit here. A lovely reminder for us all. So happy for you.

 Hugs, Sharon

Whoa!  That's incredible.  Congratulations!

WOW!!  I soooo want to be YOU in 16 months.  :)  I need to lose at least 250 lbs  and I'm having the DS on the 28th of this month.  My goal is to lose 250 lbs by my 35th birthday on July 22, 2015.  :)
