I currently want to loose 17 pounds to reach my goal of 145. Three years ago on the 20th of November I had a gastric bypass. I am happy that I have come so far and believe that was the best decision of my life. I started off at 289 pounds. I have lost 127 pounds as of today so for me to only have 17 pounds to go is great. My original goal was 160 so realistically I am there but now since I have hit it I figure I will push a little farther. My original clothing size was the following. Even if I dont hit 145 I will be proud of myself!!

pants 22/24                        6/8

Shirt 2X/3X                          S/M

Weight 289                         162
