100lbs in 11 months

[lunar1]

I’ve gone from a bmi of almost 40, to 23.8. No way could I have done it without the injections, and with the threads and support on here.

I would like to lose another 7lbs to give myself a better buffer, and will very gradually reduce my injection dose. Probably only to the point of low dose, I had to take a week off for medical reasons and the food noise was back with a vengeance.

im finding it a little upsetting how much kinder the world is when your slim, I don’t think I ever realised before.

Congratulations
I lost 110lbs and agree about the world being kinder.

I think the 7lb buffer is a good idea too as I gained about that after stopping the injections.

Congratulations @lunar1it’s a brilliant feeling when you hit your original target.

Thank you! I don’t think I ever really had a target. I’d convinced myself it wouldn’t work for me!

Well done. Even with the help of medication it is not easy. An incredible achievement.

I started on 5th November last year at BMI 39.9. As of this morning I am 101 pounds down and BMI 23.3. This was an impossible dream at the beginning.

Congratulations @Bug28

Its such a big change and definitely not easy even with the injections.

I had WLS and the nurse's advice was to have a 7lb buffer, so I should be 10 stone, this is what they wanted to see with an assumption I shouldnt be more than around 10 7, I did manage it for a while but seem to hover around 7-10lbs more than this! Going between 10,7 to 10,10. Ideally I need to get that 7lbs off.

They like to see a buffer because they say its reallly easy to put on 7lbs say on or just after a holiday, or xmas, then one 7lbs goes into another 7lbs, and then another and so on and so on

So to keep quite a tight rein on the parameters of where you want to be.
