I has surgery on May 2, 2012. My highest weight was 308. Beginning of journey was 282. Day of surgery 262. Today 158. I'm training for a 1/2 Marathon and finished a 5k in 36 mins last night. My only regret Is that I didn't do it sooner!

Finished my 5th 5k. Best time of 34:50. I was trying for 33 but is was very hot. Came in 271 place out of 722. Running isn't my strong point but it is a challenge!

I hade surgery on 5/2. I have went from 266 lbs to 155.5. My starting weight was 282.8. I went from a 24 to a 10. I've ran 3 5ks and I'm considering training for a 1/2 marathon. What a difference a year makes!

You can do it! Your stats are awesome! Keep up the walking and it won't be long until your running.

Exercise exercise exercise!! I have a 2.5 year old little boy and I work 4 days per week so time is tight. I get up at 445 each workday and I'm at the gym by 610. I live by the motto "Nothing taste as good as healthy feels" and buying clothes at the Gap lol!

I started out size 24 pants and 2x shirts. I am 5'8" and I started at 282.8. I am 10.5 months out and I weigh 156.8. I am a loose 10 and wear medium shirt! I haven't been this size since about the 5th grade !

I bought my eliptical when I weighed 282 lbs. I couldn't make it 2 mins. I didn't go near the thing for 9 mths. About 2 mths before surgery, I started out at 5 min increments and lost 16 lbs before surgery. I am now using the personal trainer and can do max resistance! I did 30 mins this morning and burned 315 calories! Don't let it get you!

I'm 9 months out and people still amaze me!

Last week 169.2 This week 165.8 3.4 lbs lost 5.8lbs till goal weight !!! 117lbs lost since my journey started on 11/28/11 with surgery on 5/2/12

Starting wt 282.8 Surgery on 5/2/13 266 Current wt 169.2 Goal wt 160 I thought I wanted to be 150 but I'm 5'8 and my loose skin in minimal. If I get to 150 I'm afraid I will have a lot.

Last week 174.5 This week 173.3 1.2 lbs this week. 109.5 total Weight is coming off slowly this month but only 18.3 more lbs to goal wt!!!

Ham is one of the things that makes me dump. It won't move. I can do steak, pork chops, fish, but no ham. It's one of the few things that I can not do 7 months out.

Western KY!

Good job! I'm about 11 lbs from a normal BMI so I feel your excitement!! What an accomplishment!

I'm 5'8. I had surgery on 5/2. My begining weight. (11/28/2011) was 282.6. My surgery wt was 266. Today I weigh 175.4. Total loss 107.2. My highest weight was 308 in August 2010 after my son was born. My loose skin is actual not that bad. I'm not saying I will ever wear a bikini but I'm able to wear fitted shirts without being able to see any excess skin.

Last week 178.5 This week 175.3 3.5lbs!!!! 20 more lbs till goal wt. DOS 5/2 266 Start of journey 11/28/11 282.8 107.5 lbs total

I have been on vacation two times since my surgery in May. Both times for a week. I took my own protein bars and protein powders. I ate with my family everytime except breakfast. All the breakfast items were carbs and fat! I just went and ate before. I would usually just pick off everyone's plates what I could eat. I found lots of seafood options and took off any breading. It is hard and you do have to put effort in to it, but stay stong and you got it!

Last week 190.8 Today 186.7 Scale barely moved for 2 weeks then dropped 4.1 lbs in 5 days! Today is my 7 month anniversary. Begining wt on 11/28/11 was 282.8. Day of surgery 5/2/2012 266. Lost 96.1 overall and 79.3 since surgery. 31.7 left to go to my goal wt of 155. I'm 5'8 so that will put my BMI at 23.6!

Last week 191.6 Today 191 After 2 really good weeks I kind of felt this coming! Just going to rejoice and give God the glory for the 91.8lbs gone. Can't wait to be in the 180's though. Can't remember being there since middle school/early high school!

Thanks so much! I have about 35 more lbs to reach goal weight. Then it's tone and maintain time!

In a coverup waiting to parasail. An idea of what my upper arms look like.

I am also 29. I am 5'8 inches and started at 282. I got as high as 308 in 2010 with my son. I had RNY on 5/2/12 and weighed 266. I am currently 191 and don't have that much excess skin. My thighs could use some tightening, my stomach is a little flabby as are my upper arms but as of right now I would not have skin removal surgery. I just went on vacation and wore a tankini. It could be better but I'm ok so far.

Missed last weeks weigh in due to vacation. On 9/28 198.8 Today 191.3 7.5lbs in 2 weeks! Super happy! 36.3 more lbs to goal weight of 155. I was 5 months post op last week. Wow it's really flown by!
