First goal down!

Had revision to RNY on November 11. Weight loss has been a tad slower than I was hoping for but I'll still take it! With the sleeve I never got to goal. Went from 286 to 209. Then over a year I went back to 248 and stayed there a couple years til my revision. 

   My first goal was to surpass my lowest sleeve weight. This morning I hit 208 and i couldn't be happier! Next stop, onderland!

     This is also huge for me because I have been obese all my life. I haven't been under 200 since grade school! I was 230 going into junior high. So it's weird and exciting and scary all at the same time but I'm so ready to see that "1" on the scale soon! 

That's amazing! I'm so happy for you. Thanks for the inspiration! I don't even know when I was last under 200 lb, but it was probably grade school for me too.

Thank you, I'm glad I can be some sOrr of motivation for someone. I appreciate that. Good luck to you! You will be at this point in no time! 

It is hard to imagine when you've been obese your whole life. My mom told me my whole life I had big bones. I guess she was trying to make me feel better about myself?! It obviously wasn't true because I now weigh about 120. There is nothing big about me now! So you might be surprised where you end up too!

120?! Wow that's amazing!! If I get to my goal of 170 I may revise to 160. I am kinda tall and big build. But I'm sure I can do more than I'm planning. Because it's slow I still have those days that I doubt I will get to goal but I can't do that to myself! 

   Thank you for the encouragement and congratulations on your success!

My original goal was 160 at 5'6.5" because when you weigh 270 even 160 doesn't seem possible. Then I lowered it to 145 and eventually I ended up between 119 and 122. I've been this weight for about 21 months now and still can hardly believe it. Wish I had done this sooner!

That's amazing! You're right, I can't even wrap my head around that. Lol

Very cool.  Congrats!

Thank you. :) and congrats on all of your success so far as well! 

I can totally relate.  I've been counted my way back to my youth too.  I've reached 8th grade now.  I reached the weight I'm hoping to get back to in 6th grade.  I'm trying to get there toward the end of summer.  Twice I've thought, I was going to stop losing that somehow I wouldn't be able to get back there.  Both times, I started losing again.  I now believe I'll make it.  I'm going to keep doing the plan until I make it.  I'm sure you can get down to any weight you want to reach!!!  It's just a one day at a time thing!  I know you you can!
