Some info please?
I am slightly under 5 ft. 8 inches and my doctor's goal for me is 160. I started at 285 (291 was my highest in March). I am 7 days out from surgery and weigh 271.2. I would love to weigh 150 - it has always been a goal of mine to get there. My lowest adult weight was 170 and I was wearing a 10-12 in Junior sized jeans at that point - I carry my weight in my lower body, and tend to thin out a lot on top. My doc expects me to lose 100% EW within 6-8 months, respectively. I will do this.

My advice is to choose small attainable goals. I found a reason to celebrate every month, at least, I would measure my weight loss in people, pets, round numbers, whatever I could find.
I started at 375 at 5'6". My docs goal was 250. My "out of thin air" goal was 175. I revised to 150. I've been sitting between 152 and 154 for a couple of months now and I'm okay with that for now. I have a lot of other crap going on so as long as I'm not gaining... it's good.
Surgery was almost 2 years ago :)
