Question:
Anyone out here who is about 5ft 3 and weighed about 266?
If so how fast did you lose it. Is a goal of 100 lbs. gone the first year a good goal? — Kim N. (posted on December 18, 2002)

I am 0 months out. Starting weight was 285 goal weight was 170. I am
currently 160. And I will be losing even more in the coming months as i am
early preop for a tt and a hysto at the sane time, which should put me
around 135 when all is said and done.

Just about 5' 4" and weighed 255. I lost 104 pounds in a year and now
weigh 142. 100 pounds in a year is a reasonable goal. Good luck!

I am 5'3" started at 277, I will be 3 mos. post op on the 25th, and
have lost 67 lbs. so far. It's a whole new world. My head hasn't caught
on that I'm not 277 lbs. anymore. I keep going to the plus sized clothes
in a store and the kids keep telling me "mom, you don't need
those!" It's been wierd. guess I am a creature of habit! Good luck to
you!

I started out at 230 lbs/5'1"/22W/2-3X within 10 1/2 months I hit 130
lbs/5'2"/8P/Small (apparently the extra 100 pounds compressed my
spine! :). I have recently lost another few pounds and am now able to wear
6P since my abdomen finally seems to be shrinking up. I think that 100
pounds in a year is very doable as long as you take it seriously, get all
your nutrition and supplementation in, and remain active. If we can do it,
you can do it too!!!!
