Is it when you've passed your 1 year surgery date?

Is it when you reach your doctor's goal for you?

Is it when you've reached your own personal goal for yourself?

Is it when you've had your plastics and your body looks the way you want it to?

When are you a weight loss graduate?

Wow...I think it's different for everyone.  I am below my doctor's goal for me, which was 180 and I am 172.5, I have lost 166lbs....I have not had my plastics yet, and I am not sure if I have reached my personal goal or not.  I never thought I would lose this much so I never set a goal below my doctor's...I guess I am hoping my body will know when it's happy and I will stop losing.

I feel like a graduate because of where I was 338 and where I am now...I feel that even if I did not lose another pound I have accomplished so many things that I'm a success.  Ok, didn't really answer but gave you my thoughts anyway.

SW338/GW180/CW157.5 - 180 lbs gone forever!
