How many big losers out there

I have like 200 Pounds to lose any 100 plus losers out there. It's good to see it can be done.

When I started I had 200 lbs to lose (according to the docs, anyway) as I started at 335.
I've dropped 99.2 lbs since last June 1st. I dropped 35 lbs in 12 wks prior to surgery going to Weight Watchers and eating 2/3 points. (and starving!)
And I've dropped 64 lbs since surgery on Aug 22. I appear to be dropping lbs at an average rate, about 2.25 lbs a week averaged out. I am in my 50s, female, have several health issues that make this harder and it's still happening...
I have 4 days to hit that magic 100 lbs off by my 6 month goal date... c'mon stall, go away!
I can tell you this - if you are larger when you start, it's pretty much a standard that you drop lbs much faster than those with less to drop.
It can be done.

I was sleeved October of 2010, and had lost 150 lbs. by my year anniversary. I've maintained that weight-loss since then, staying within a 3-4 pound range.

At my largest I was 398 lbs., I am currently 255 lbs. and losing.

I also had a goal of losing 150 lbs, and hit the magic 1/2 way mark this week - 4 months 1 week post-op. Not only can you do this, but your sleeve won't fail you as long as you follow all of the recommendations from your docs.

Start - 295 lbs, now 219 (76 lost), goal 145 = it's doable.
