Success?????
I made it to my goal weight and have maintained it for a year now. I am down 116lbs, which I would never have imagined and I am still astonished sometimes.
I think there is still the possibility of losing more weight . . .I have a friend who is out a year more than us and in the last year she has lost about 13-14 lbs. It is very slow and at a 1 lb. a month, but it is possible.
Keep you goals measurable and attainable . . . look how far we have come :o)
I aspired to be 150, but I've been holding at 170. Everytime I dip below that weight, I feel like I have no energy. Everyone, including my surgeon and nutritionist, has told me that I should not lose anymore weight. I definitely could use some plastic surgery, which will get me closer, if I every go for it. I've lost 130lbs, which is incredible for me to even say! I think you should not focus so much on a number, but on how you feel. If you feel healthy and are following all the guidance your nutritionist has provided, then you have reached your goal. On the other hand, if you know you can do better with your eating and exercise, you know you need to put yourself to work! Congratulations and keep up the good work.
I am very happy to report that I reached my goal of 135, I did loose down to 130 but went back to 135, give or take a pound or 2 ;) It will be 2years for me on 3/25. I have lost a total of 130 pounds! it is amazing to me some days! you will get to where you want to be, just take it day by day!
