not long

Not far to go for one year rebirthday. How is every one doing? I'll be 11 months out on Sept. 8th. I started as a lite weight so my loss has been slow. But still I've gone from a 48.8 BMI to 47.8 the day of surgery to 31.8 BMI as of yesterday. I was just 1.3 points from being super obese. Now I have just 2 points to go and I'll only be overweight!!! I'm losing about 5#s a month now and would like to take off at least 35 more. Mayhaps by my real birthday in March I will be at my goal. I'm 24# away from the goal weight my Doctor set for me. I hold steady for 2 weeks and have a gain one week each month. In the fourth week I lose the gained weight plus 5#s or so. There have been 4 months where I didn't lose any weight at all. Do any of you lose this way? Have a great day, Brokenwing_Fallingwater Consult day--267 surgery day--258 today--------174 doctors goal--150 my goal-------140-130 total loss so far---93#

Hi and congratulations on your weight loss Tell me, what designates a "lite weight" ? Best from Iceland Kolla Highest weight -> 327 Before surgery -> 304 Today -> 163 Goal -> 140 It's the new me... http://www.pjus.is/kolla/images/kjoll.jpg

Hello Kolla, A lite weight is a BMI under 50. The less you have to lose the slower it comes off. My highest weight was 315 back in 1997. I lost all the way down to 186, got depressed and gained all the way back up to 270. My goodness Girl, you've lost one pound over what you weigh now. You must feel wonderful. I saw your pictures, you look absolutely beautiful. And so much younger. Brokenwing

GOOD JOB!!!!!!Keep up the good work.

Thank-you, M.G.
