DOCTORS GOAL!!!!! Yahoo!

Well OH girls... I made Doctors goal !! 160lbs on the scale this AM!! But kinda frustrated... Im still in a size 10-12 jeans.... I want to drop a size!!! I'm in a M-L top. I had someone tell me last night that my upper body looks to skiinny... Granted Im a 36C on top.. so I'm not flat chested. They also told me that my face was to thin. I'm dont want to look unhealthy.. Ive seen to many gastric bypass patients that look unhealthy and pale. When the doctor asked me what my goal was I said "Not to look like I had a gastric bypass"..... My goal is 145lbs... normal BMI... My PA actually told me I might look to thin at 145lbs cause I have so much muscle mass. I can't imagine you girls that are in size 2... WOW! That is smaller than my 20 year old daughter, she's a 6. Your bone frames must be tons smaller than mine. I will NEVER be a size 2. Everyone be proud of yourselves.... Your all doing so great!!! Keep focused... and if we stick together on these boards we will all succeed!!! Thanks OH giirls... for being there!! Stacey

Way to go Stacey!!

Thanks Stephanie!

WooHoo! Way to go! I know what you mean about the size. I never seem to lose inches and pounds. Keep exercising and you will be where you want to be! Way to go! Hugs, Katy

AWESOME JOB! 160 is also my goal. I am sure it feel fabulous getting there! I know what you mean about not wanting to be too thin. I am tall and large-framed and am having some concerns about that myself now that I am so close to goal. I guess we'll know, though, won't we, when we are at a place where we are comfortable with how we look? Maybe? My fear is that we will think we look hot, and people will think we are sick instead! Surely not! If it counts, I vote for hot! You look great! Belle

Thanks Belle... My hubby told me today... he would be more than happy if I didnt lose another ounce. 160lbs was the doctors goal... 145lbs is mine. We'll see... Now Im anxious for the sizes to drop.. I would love to be in single digits... I would like to be a size 8... Hmmmm that's two size's in 15lbs.. Can it be done? Thanks for the Encouragement... Your look awesome by the way too... Beautiful! Stacey

THat is GREAT Stacey, congrats to you. YEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Katy... Frustrating I know.. everyone says... trust it, that it will come... I cant wait to be cleared to exercise again!! That's for the support! Stacey

Congratulations Stacey!!! 2 sizes in 15 pounds is totally doable... you'll be there. Do you think some people lose weight in their faces first- I have seen some girls where their faces are so thin- almost too thin. I have a round face so I don't think I'll be having that problem. Also- I was rolling my eyes when I first read about Janie being in a size 2- don't laugh the sizes are much bigger now and it was a shocker to me too. I find myself saying- "just because I can wear it doesn't mean I should"- due mostly to the muffin issue... CONGRATS!!! Holly

Thank you for the encouraging words.... I'm hoping to get down to a size 8... When I get cleared to exercise again (from my surgery 3 weeks ago) I think that will help... I feel like Im in such a slump!!! Thanks again!! FYI.... You are gorgeous and should be every bit proud of yourself! Stacey
