Question:
Anyone starting 450+ hit goal when reached 50% loss at 6 mos.?

I don't know where I heard the calculations, but somewhere I heard that you're right on target if you're at 50% loss at 6 months. I'm just a few pounds shy of that. I'm wondering if it's possible to lose that other 50% in this next year. Does anyone have an experience they can share? Is it crazy to think you can make it? Should you just except being "bigger" the rest of your life? Or is there hope? Thanks in advance to all you wonderful post-ops!    — Tracy L. (posted on December 21, 2001)

You are doing fantastic. It is not crazy to think that you are going to make it. I started at 469 and 16 months later I am down to 149. I am 9 pounds from goal and will make it before my 18 months are up. Keep up the good work and you belive every day that you can make it and you will.
