You look great!

I am sorta discouraged now. I started at 264 and I want to to be 130.

I am 186 now and a size 12 and med-large tops and that's not good enough for me. I carb rotate and shock my body and fast and do all the things your supposed to keep the weight coming off but not to be 130 might be so discouraging!

I am so happy you look great and are happy where you are!

You're only 6 months out, I think you are doing fantastic. No reason to give up or be discouraged, it will just go slower now.

OP: You look great! Congratulations. Its always cool to read the long term results.

This is a great post! Thank you for sharing your story. I'm only two weeks out and my goal weight is 160-170 lbs. I have been between 130-144 lbs in the past and I don't look good that skinny! I love how I look in the 160-180 range. Your post gave me encouragement as I'm trying to figure what the future will be like. It's good to know that I will be able to increase my calorie count and eat (very little) some Desserts and treats. Right now, I'm just focusing on getting as much weight off as possible because I know that we experience the most loss early on in our sleeve journeys. I hope you continue to enjoy your life and congratulations!!

Sleeve, this was the perfect post for me to read today. I have been having an internal discussion about 'goal' for me lately. I feel great where I am, and would just like to tone up a bit more in the ab area. Prior to surgery I was thinking 130 lbs, but then changed that goal to 140 as at my age & stage I thought it would be more realistic.

I'm with you as far as wanting to be happy with eating this new normal way - not feeling like I'm constantly dieting or battling with food. Thank you for your honest, down to earth and personal insight.

Much appreciated.

you're welcome!! Reality is: being on a "diet" sucks. Being healthy and normal is possible! I have pretty much weighed the exact same for 11 months with this philosophy. I will not go back to my old ways and gain weight but I am enjoying life and don't have to worry about staying under 1200 calories to weigh 130lbs.
