You May Be More Successful Than You Think....

[gamergirl 4,610]

Laura-ven, I have an even 100lbs to lose also... SW 240 CW 202 GW 140 So I guess that makes 38% loss? I'm 6 weeks out. Now I'd like to know the average % of loss in certain stages (after how long). :-)

So while statistics vary on this, I think most surgeons consider losing 50% of your excess weight between 6 months-1 year after surgery to be a sign of success.

Yes you read that right. So let's give ourselves a pat I the back all of us over-achieves!

By the way, VERY smart way of approaching this weight loss thing!!!

Thank you! I've been wanting to post on this for a while. Took me a bit to figure out how to lay it out without coming across as quite the nerd that I am

[No game 14,437]

I like nerds

Oh and I didn't keep a month to month count of loss.. But next Wednesday is my year anniversary. So I didn't make goal at a year but I'm going g to cut some slack to myself and say good girl

I'm one of those people who say they have "only lost" 33lbs. I know it's silly to complain. But I know there is nothing else I can do differently and I have been at the same weight for almost a month. (I'm concerned that I have lost all that I am going to lose)

Sleeved on October 4th

Start Weight: 217lbs

Day of Surgery: 203lbs

Current Weight: 184lbs

Well Laura you've also set your goal a lot lower than some others who reached goal but had a higher goal weight so that's part of it too, right? But even if you hadn't, you should still say good girl. The difference between 84% and 100% is meaningful personally for you, but from a health perspective and a "hot mama" perspective I'm guessing its negligible. So congrats!!

49%! So almost half-way there. Good for you.

What do you want to be at goal weight?

[NMJG 1,266]

You are really awesome, GG

[laffypatty 47]

Please help me! Starting weight was 253.4 surgery weight (4weeks later) 237.7, current weight 182.4 goal weight 150. Then maybe 130

I am so jealous of how quickly you are losing. How have you already lost 55 pounds?? I was sleeved 9/16, and I've only lost 21! Would you mind sending me a PM with your average daily food intake and exercise? I'd REALLY appreciate it!!
