Question:
I had surgery 8-27-02, my starting weight was 371 and I am now at 178,

I have recently set a goal that I would like to get to around 160 lbs by Christmas/New Years and then maintain that goal for at least one year before considering plastic surgery. Does this seam like a reasonable/realistic goal?Thanks!! JLE 371/178/160    — Jennifer E. (posted on September 22, 2003)

You have done fantastic in one year. Your goal seems reasonable to me. I only hope I can do as well. Joann

I started at 360 and now am at 199 (Oct 3rd will be 1 year) My goal is to reach 160 by Christmas and to stabilize for a year before plastic surgery. Does this sound familiar? I think that our goals are very realistic. And if it takes me until February to drop the next 40 pounds - well that's no big deal either. Good luck!!!
