Question:
Anyone 5'5 start at 320 ?

I have lost 76 1/2 pounds at 4 1/2 months. I hope to make it too 100 by 6 months. I wondered how anyone else with similar stats did at 4 1/2 and six months.    — Stacie B. (posted on November 20, 2003)

Hi!! First, CONGRATS on your awesome weight loss!! I'm 5'6" & started out at 320. I lost right around 100lbs at 6 months. I'm now at 148lbs ( -162lbs, 22 months post-op, size 8/small!! ) & NEVER dreamed of getting UNDER 200lbs when I started out! I've found that this journey does require patience at times, but remember we didn't get to 320lbs overnight!! :) The weight lost usually slows down after 6 months but try to stay on track, follow the "rules" & you'll do great!

Hi! I am 5'4 and weighed 304 on day of surgery.. but went as high as 320. I lost 113 by 6 months and now at 9 months post I have lost 142 lbs with 13 to go. I am wearing loose 12's, almost in size 10s at 162 lbs. My weight loss has remained consistent. Good luck!

Hi Stacie! Let's see... I am 5 foot 3.75 inches tall, and weighed 365 lbs at surgery. I lost 105 lbs by the 6 month mark. I'm 16.5 months out now, and am down 185 lbs. Blessings, dina

5'5 339. I am at 259 now. I have lost 80 lbs. Next week will be 5 months for me. Although secretly I think it is a slow loss, by doing the math, I know that is in on the perfectly average rate of loss. Not slow and not fast. I hope to lose 100 pounds by 6.5 months. but hey, I'll take what I can get considering average loss at 6 months is 50-100 pounds.
