My DR must be crazy....

I had my 1 year post up last Friday. I was scared to death to go because I didn't think I had lost enough and was worried my doctor might not be happy. To my shock he told me I had lost more than he expected me too and that I didn't have to lose anymore if I didn't want too. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to hear that. I still want to lose 19 more pounds (at least), but I have to admit it was weird to have a DR tell me that....lol. He told me it may take a long time to lose the rest, but that its possible if I stick to the program. I had been on a plateau for 5 weeks and lost 5 lbs in the last week I had been avoiding carbs like the plague, eating only 30-40 gr per day, my nut told me I needed to eat 80-100 healthy carbs a day. I think thats helped my hunger and the weight loss this week. I was reading the posts from all the 1 year check ups and we've all done so good. Congratulations everyone! I took some pics, but don't have them developed yet. Will post them soon. Scarlette 309/294/169/150?

Hey there! I was talking to my doc the other day and he informed me that most people only lose about 70% of their excess body weight. And only keep off about 60% but he said he was delighted to tell me that I had lost 75% of my excess and that I was doing good with keeping it off. Its weird to think that he wouldn't want me to lose any more, or at least struggle with losing more. I was amazed. Faith 350/197/175

It is weird that our doctors think we have lost enough. I feel relieved that my doctor is happy, but I am still motivated to lose 19 more pounds. How do you figure your % lost? Your doing great! Congratulations!
