Great progress! It is similar to where I am at. I was a size 18/20 day of surgery and now I am a 10/12 as well.

As of this morning, I have

1) lost over 150 pounds since I began this weight loss journey,

2) lost over 50% of my "excess weight" (above my goal), and

3) reached under 300 pounds for the first time in over 20 years (since my oldest child was conceived)!

Yay me!!! Woo hoo!!!

I remember the day the scale showed 299! It's a great feeling!! Great job, congratulations!

Hello all! Man have I been slacking on here. I am so busy its hard to keep up with everything. I am 7 months out and down 74#(total) I think I should be a lot further along but I know why I am not. I keep going off track(not bad but more than I should) and I just pick up and get back on track. I am happy with where I am and want to loose about 100# more. I will start getting on here more and tracking my food as I see myself sliding back to old habits and I refuse to end up where I was.

I think as months go on its natural to 'get in with your life'

I've been busy today- I was sleeved 2/25/13 and so I'm a lil more than 7 mo and almost to 100 lb loss

Checking in with everyone. I am 33weeks out today (the 14th will be my 8th month mark) and I am down 121 pounds. Things have been pretty smooth for me, thank goodness. I have taken up running (yes, omg running!) When walking used to get me winded at my peak weight the fact that I can run a couple miles without dying blows my mind. Yay for our new and healthier lifestyles!!!!

That's excellent! I'll be 8 months on the 27th and am down 103. No running yet, but lots of biking. How are your legs and knees with running?

[EweLewz 107]

7 and a quarter months post-op. 85 lbs down. Apparently, jogging burns more calories than drumming. Maybe I should play faster. LOL. Good work all.

Initially I had an issue with shin splints, but I learned some amazing stretches that I do before hand and I haven't suffered since! I did a 5k back in April, I was 257 then and it took me nearly 2hours to complete (I walked about 99% of it and it was an obstacle run) but now I can easily run 5k (3.1 miles) in about 30-45mins without feeling like I'm going to die. I live about... 5 blocks from a large mountain type.. thing... and I make the kids jog it with me once a month. The way up they are major cry babies about it, on the way down they are all giggles. It's been an amazing journey so far!!

it's called monitor your weight.

[JackieV 246]

Today makes 8 months. I've slowed way down and I'm okay with that. I hit my clothing size goal but I'm still 30-45lbs from my weight goal.
