I am so thrilled I can't hardly stand it!!!  I got on the scale this morning and there it was...150.0 ! Finally!!! I'm currently at 23% body fat but still plan to whittle that down a bit too.

I had my VSG on 12/27/10 so it's been less than a year to lose 153#...I have actually lost more than I now weigh.

I will be posting some pictures soon so keep a watch out.
I am working to do a 5K in the spring and I am starting a weight loss support group in my community soon. This has been such a positive process from the very beginning but I could not have been so successful without my families support. They have been my rock. I praise God for them every day.

If you are not sure if VSG is the way to go for you I can honestly say my life has changed so much for the absolute better in so many ways~I'm so glad I gave my self this gift.

Great job!!!!!  I hit "goal" today, too, but 150 was an arbritary number I picked.   Not sure where I actually want to end up.
Question - how do you calculate body fat %?

Surgery weight, 236#
Current weight, 138#

Hi Paula...

I actually have a scale that shows body fat % and hydration in addition to your weight but my DR's office does an electrical hook-up to me every visit that also shows how my body is composed with percentages of body fat, muscle, fluid/water...it's really pretty cool!
