How much do you still have to lose?
Hey Bridget
I have lost 182 from my highest and 120 since surgery.
I still have 93 lbs. to loose to get to my goal of 175. My weight loss has slowed down a bit so I'm a little worried if I'll ever actually get to 175?! Then I wonder if my goal is too low since I have so much weight to loose from my highest.
Congrats on your weight loss!

I wanted somebody else to post that they were almost at goal before I would... Hazel is pretty close to goal, I'm at goal now, my "goal" was 135 but I'm happy at 143-147 range. I wouldn't mind to loose another 10 but if it doens't happen I'm not to worried. I even started looking into plastics. You guys have made great progress! Congrats!

When I put it in numbers, it just about made me cry.
This is where accountability comes in, huh?
292 was my highest
269 was my pre op weight.
218 is where I am at today.
That means I have lost 51 pounds since surgery.
I feel like a failure with that number. Tomorrow is my 7 month anniversary, and I have lost 51 pounds...
I have lost 74 from my highest which was about a year ago. My goal from the surgeon was to reach 200, best case 180. My goal was about 145-160.... (I was about that weight when I was 13)
So I am 40 pounds from my Dr's goal, and 60 pounds from my own... It doesn't sound so bad... but seeing you all so close to goal makes me furious at myself, and my body.
How do you correct mistakes... I don't know that I have made mistakes... but I must have... is there any other explaination? I have been watching my meals, and exercising my butt off, or so I thought...
I guess I have to step it up, I don't know what else to do. I hate being stuck... I'm trying, really, I am, watching my water, watching my carbs... aiming for high protien...
I am so happy for all of you and the wonderful successes... All of you who are reaching your goals... You have done great jobs! Keep it up and get there, you are inspiration for the rest of us...
And don't forget us who are fighting for every pound, be our cheerleaders and buttkickers when we need you.....
Much Love....

Angela,
218...218!!! That's great! Please don't get too down on yourself! You made an amazing decision to improve your life and you are doing it. One pound at a time, one meal at a time, one bottle of water at a time, one workout at a time. Who cares if it takes you 6 months or year or 18 months. You made this decision for you, not for anyone else. Be proud of you for taking charge of you!
