Hi, people. Hope you all are having a lovely Saturday. I have a question. I hit 100 pounds lost today but 17 of that was during the 6 months diet. To get a century card, do I need to have lost 100 pounds AFTER surgery? Either way, I'm pleased with my progress so far.
Blessings,
Karen

You took the question right out of my head!  I've lost quite a bit of weight from my highest- which was only last fall. I started to lose gradually before my 1st appt at bariatric center. Then I lost OVER my goal pre-surgery and have lost about 10 since surgery.

To me Weight is Weight do I count 63lbs or 10 for  the card???

IMHO- I think I will count the Whole enchilada unless I hear otherwise! I worked to get those pounds off- why shouldn't they count? Just like I'm working to get these off- even though my results are happening a lot quicker! 

We await the wisdom of the PRO's....

It seems to me that lost weight is lost weight.  Or think of it like this:  I lost 10 pounds prior to surgery.  So do I have to wait until I get to 189 to claim Onederland?  Of course not!  The weight you lost prior to surgery is still part of your journey to health.  It is a process.  Claim it!

I agree with K9 - CLAIM IT... I know one I loose two more pounds I am claiming my TWO CENTRY CARD - if there really is one.. LOL.   Congrats on the weight loss- 100 pounds is a lot of weight to loose.

 yeah,  my thoughts are that I worked a hell of a lot harder for that first 20 pounds than I did the 110 I have lost.  I ALWAYS count those.     It's a journey, right?
