fatguysurvival 18 Posted April 14, 2018 hey all. was it just me or did breaking the 300 barrier feel like one of life's greatest accomplishment? crossing into the 300's was like entering the abyss for me. and once i got there, i kinda spiraled to a day of surgery weight of 360!! 3 1/2 months now post-sleeve and I am now 275. just so remarkable, really. and crossing back into the 200's was one of of the greatest joys i have experienced in a long time. now i'm on a mission to cross back into the 1's (?/!). i sincerely hope that all guys thinking about bariatric, or who have done it and need to come out of the 3's experience the same sense of satisfaction and joy that i did. just what was on my mind today. 8 FluffyChix, PeacockConnie, Aworknprogress and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattymatt 491 Posted April 17, 2018 When you cross into a new hundreds mark it does feel really good. I remember from previous weight loss attempts that crossing below 300 felt really, really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatguysurvival 18 Posted April 17, 2018 Onederland is the ultimate goal--199. 75 pounds to go! Won't stop until i hit that goal. Focused now on hitting 250. Boy this feels good. Can't imagine why more guys who need this don't do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abefroman329 704 Posted May 1, 2018 I’d dropped below 300 on a number of occasions between 2015 and 2017, so it wasn’t a huge deal. My lowest in the two years prior to surgery was 289. But on Sunday, I was below 250 for the first time since I was a sophomore in high school, and THAT was an achievement! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MG1776 275 Posted May 3, 2018 I remember setting small goals when I first started my weight loss journey (Feb 2017) and said it'd great to see a 2 as the first number, then 250, 225, and then it came to a realization that maybe, just maybe, I'd be able to say I'm one hundred and xx lbs. A little over a week ago, I stepped on the scale and saw 199.8. Was I really in onederland? Seems unreal, but like the sound of it. Today, I weighed in at 195.8. Give it time, and keep up the great work, you too will get there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
