Question:
What does the 250/175/140 mean?

I know I should know this, but I don't. Thanks.    — Michelle J. (posted on September 28, 2003)

No dumb questions, Michelle! ;) The 250/175/140 is the poster's weight loss, measured in (what appears to me) to be six-month intervals. So he/she started at 250, at 6 months weighed in at 175, and a year later reached goal of 140. Congrats to that poster, and best of luck to YOU!

This is what it stands for as far as I know. The first set of numbers are the starting weight at the time of surgery. The next set of numbers are what the persons weight is at thier very most recent weigh-in. The last set of numbers are the goal weight hoped to be reached. At least that is how I use it! ;) Open RNY~4/21/03~278/189/128?
