Has Anyone Else Started At My Weight?

Hello everyone! *

Hope everyone is doing amazing! 

Just wondering if anyone else has started their journey at 230lbs and what your weight is now. I know everyone will lose differently, but I am just curious to see others. 

I am a female, I am 5'4 and I weigh 240 right now, but if all goes well I will weigh 230 by March which will be my pre-op weight (for my insurance). Would love to see pictures and numbers. They give me hope and excitement and sort of a reassurance that I am doing the right thing. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you all have an amazing day! 

I'm 5'2 and my starting weight was 229. I had surgery end of April 2012.  I'm at 151 now.  Weight comes off pretty fast at first.  Hope that gives you an idea. Honestly I felt like a different person by July.  I even went parasailing on vacation.  Good luck!!!

Hi, I'm 5'6, was 255 morning of Rny, my one year post op was the end of jan, and I'm currently 118 lbs. I have progress pics from start, along the way, to now on my profile. Congrats on the beginning of your journey!

I am 5'3" and my highest weight was 240 in 2002 before my first WLS.  

I had a revision in 2010 weighing 220 lbs.  I've lost down to 105 lbs.  

At the time of surgery, I weighed around 250'ish.  I am 5'8."

At present, I weigh between 136 and 139.  I wear anywhere from a size 4 to a size 8, depending upon the designer.

Good luck on your journey!!!

I am 5'6" and am now 234.  My surgery is 3/13 and my goal is 130.

I'm 22, 5'2" and started at 224. 11 months later I weigh 134 and wear a size 8.

If I can go from a size 20 down to a size 8 you can too! Keep us updated on your progress as you go through your journey. You are not alone! :D

  I lost very quickly at first and at 10 months out I am down to 148.  My weight loss has slowed down to about 5lbs a month.
