rydersmama 804 Posted July 13, 2016 I just made it to onederland last week myself so I know how you feel! I cried when I saw the number too. I also started in the 300's, so I thought I'd never see a 1 again in front of my weight. It's a wonderful feeling isn't it? You enjoy your accomplishment, you deserve it!! So you're thinking you want your goal weight to be 180? That's what I originally thought too, but now that I'm in the 190's, I think I could go lower than that. Is that how you feel too? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Well 180 is the goal the Dr set for me. I'd actually like to get down to 160. But if I go no further than 180 I'd be ok because that would still be the smallest I've ever been in my teen and adult life. Congrats on your accomplishment too, by the wayI know, the weight I'm at now is the smallest I've been since I was 17. It's hard to pick a goal weight when you have no idea how you'll look!160 sounds reasonable though. I'm like you, I'll get to 180 and see how I feel.

Im grateful you shared this and your pictures because you just showed me what I could possibly actually accomplish with some time. It's tough not having those friends who don't know the feeling Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm glad I inspire you because I have no regrets. Well that's not completely true, the only regret is that I wish I would have done this sooner. I was miserable with all that weight on me. I was depressed all the time, and now I'm enjoying life, and especially shopping. I thought I would never enjoy that. But now I can't wait to shop to see how low in size I can go. I can now squeeze in a size 12. I never was able to get anywhere near the 12s. The lowest size I've ever been during my teen years to adult life was a size 18. Hope all goes well for you and thanks for joining this wonderful site. You will get all the support you need here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
