Where is everyone at now. 272lbs to 175lbs

Started out at 320 pounds the day of surgery. I am now 5'11" and 199 pounds. A total loss of 121 pounds. I started out wearing a size 26/28 and can easily fit into a size 14. I have 9 pounds to go until my surgeons goal, and 20 pounds to go until I am "normal" according to the BMI scale.

Wow, you guys are doing so great. I started at 366 and am now at 243 for a loss of 123. I still have 77lbs to go. Wish me luck. I have so far to go. Seven
