Question:
Has anyone 400 lbs. or less lost 200 lbs. or more?
Just curious, I have a lot to lose, and i'm wondering if losing close to 200 lbs. is possible. — Laydie K. (posted on March 14, 2003)

I started at 472 pounds and have lost 210 pounds in 13 1/2 months. I have
been on a plateau for the last month and a half....hope to get off it soon.

there is a yahoo group called wls400plus.com (go to groups, then look for
wls400+ to get to it) that is made up of memebers that were at one time 400
pounds or more. i am on this list, and plan on having my wls this friday,
many on this list have been over 400 and lost over 200 you should go and
check out this group they are super people, and understand the speical
problems that the SMO have to deal with! becuase as we all know the fatter
one is the more problems they have! the motto of this group "we shall
wipe again!!!"

When I started I was at 400 lbs. After 1 year I know weigh 197 lbs. For me
it wasn't all that hard. I ate just meat for the first 75% loss. I did what
my doc suggested. No carbs until I hit the 75% loss area. Then I added them
in for 1 meal only. The other meals are still just protein. I also work out
to help continue the loss. Any questions feel free to ask.

My highest weight was 421 in the mid 80's and when I had my open RNY last
May I weighed 389, now I weigh 222. I'll be 10 months post-op on March 20.
Yes, It is possible to lose 200 lbs and feel great.

Hi - I started at 426 pounds on 8/15/02 and today weighed in at 158 pounds.
That's 268 pounds in a little over a year and a half. I went from a 6X to
size 6 which is really cool. I'm still losing, but I don't know how much
more I can drop since really it's now just excess skin, the fat is gone. So
it can be done, but you really have to be committed, but it is the greatest
thing you can do for yourself. Feel free to email me if you want and good
luck to you.

Hi. I'm 10 months out, and have lost about 165 lbs. I started at 408 and
weigh around 245 now. I have been on a plateau for about 3 months but have
lost around 5 lbs this past week. I'm in major need of reconstructive
surgery but won't think about it until I am closer to goal! I have
appointments with a few surgeons this summer!

Thank you all for responding. I've heard of people over 500 losing more
than 300 lbs, but i've never heard of anyone around 400 or less losing,
that much. Thanks for all of your posts. I appreciate it.
