Like truckdrivinmama, I'm also a lightweight. I'm 11 1/2 weeks out now and down to 158.6 as of this morning. I signed in to my surgeon's at 203. But the day of surgery, I weighed 199. I only have 15.6 lbs to go to reach normal BMI, but I want to get to 125-130 so I still have a bit to lose. And my pcp is comfortable with my decision to aim for 125-130.

There is an article on DSFacts called It's not pounds, it's percentages. That helps keep me focused.

I didn't have a goal weight as such, but it took me two years and two months to lose 100% of my excess weight.

Just to throw curve ball and show how different we all are...I need to lose about 10 more pounds to hit normal BMI. I'm just over 2 years out. I am still losing slowwwwwlllly. I just bought a couple pair of work pants that were snug. Now they're a bit looser about a month and a half later. And I had 2 random people at work today mention that I looked like I was losing weight.

Hmm I'll have to make sure to weigh myself this weekend to see if I can get a new low weight. Why wait til the weekend, you may ask...Well I only weigh myself when I am pretty sure that I'll like what I'll see. That means naked, before I've eaten, after I've had my morning uhh poo, and it's the right time of the month for my menstrual cycle. It keeps me off the scale because it's not often that I can make all those stars align

I need to lose about 2 more pounds for a normal BMI . I still seem to be slowly losing at over 2 yrs out...so may get there yet.

Hey! Another lightweight here. It took me a little under 14 months to reach my goal of 115.
