120 lbs lost... almost to (new) GOAAAL!

[ouroborous 519]

My high-Water mark weight was just a tad over 338 lbs (scary, now that I think about it). Today, I weighed in at 218 lbs. HUZZAH!

In addition, my original goal was 225 -- sorted, thank you very much! -- and then revised down to 215... only 3 lbs away. BAM!

I think I'm going to re-revise my goal weight down to 200 lbs now that I'm losing weight again (THANK you, regular gym workouts + cardio!)

Congrats on the -120! That is incredible!

I'm in the other camp...in about 30 more lbs I plan to revisit my original goal...and see if it still fits/is attainable, etc. My surgeon tried to bump my goal (actually it was HIS goal to begin with) up +15lbs just by looking at me at my 6 month visit. I will see what he says at my one year next month...and eventually I will figure out what is right for me.

Sounds like you are 'trying it on' in regards to weight and you will eventually know what weight feels right for you. Best of luck!

Congratulations! Your posts were some of the first ones I came across when I first started visiting this site--you were having some problems back at the beginning of your post-surgery journey that you evidently were able to overcome, which I thought was terrific. Yay for being down 120!

Yey you.... congrats indeed!!!

So, what got the scales moving downward again... I remember you posting about a long stall... do you think it was the regular works out that started your loss again? =]

It was the workouts, pure and simple: if you look at my weight chart on my ticker, you can see that it was leveled out almost to flat, and then started dipping again around June-ish. This is almost exactly when I started hitting the gym again. I didn't change ANYTHING else -- diet is just as good (or bad) as it always was. So it's 100% about MOVING...

The nice thing is that I've probably put on 5-10lbs of muscle since June (I bulk up fast), so that my "real" weight is probably even lower (if you subtract the muscle weight). But hey, who's counting?

Fantastic Ouroborous! I have been watching you for a long time, and its great to see you continuing to have so much success with your efforts. I am in a long stall right now (about 6-8 weeks) and am 15 pounds from my modest goal. Perhaps I need to hit the gym more too. Your success is inspiring! Thanks dude.

Congrats on getting the scales moving again. And 120 lbs is freakin' awesome!!

Congrats! I know what you mean about changing your goal. I am 22 lbs from my first set goal but thinking of changing it once i get there. Shoot 22 lbs is NOTHING...........hahaha............I have lost and gained that many many times over the years!

YOU ROCK by the way! Congrats again!!!

[ouroborous 519]

Thanks for the kind words, all!

And, when it rains, it pours -- I weighed myself this morning and I'm down another 2 lbs; 216.1. About one pound from my (new) GOOOOAL... I'm thinking 200 is a reasonable "final" goal.
