who is at goal?

I have five to six pounds to go - but I don't loose them I will be ok with that. I have started loosing again, in the last week. So hopefully by Christmas I can get these last pounds off that will put me at Normal BMI! but I am below the national average weight for my age and height.

My doctor told me I could expect to get to 200 pounds, but my ideal body weight was 140, but that I would never get their. Today I weigh..... 138 (I'm under weight). Can you imagine. I'm actually having to try to eat enough to maintain my current weight because I don't want to loose any more and I want to keep my blood suger up. I'm wearing an 8/10.

Hi Dianne, i think doctors tell us the higher number so we dont get our hopes up too high OR they want us to work harder so we can show them they were wrong!! Congradulations on your weight loss! Donna

Toni, sorry I took so long to respond, it is just taking forever to answer posts, but so far so good tonight, I bet by christmas you will have lost those 6 pounds plus a few more! Congrats!!! Donna

I'm at goal....once I have my TT on Monday....will probably lose between 5-7 lbs. I am 5'7, very heavily boned, started at 288, size 22/24, now weigh 167, size 8's...I think I will be in a size 6 pant after my TT....with the weight loss of the TT, I should be down in the low-mid 160's. Basically I am finished losing weight...just wanting to maintain. Congrats to all!! RAE

Rae, Good luck with your tummy tuck, I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. How long will you be off work? Dianne

Rae, i hope all went well today with your TT and you are home relaxing, I talked to my surgeon about my hernia repair and TT, he said any time now, I dont know how much skin he will end up taking off but I know it will look better congrats on your terrific weight loss Donna

My dr. goal was 150 and mine was 145. I'm weighing 142 -- yeh!!! and wearing mostly 10's and a couple of 8's. I never in my wildest imagination thought I would be this size ~~ and I'm loving every minute of it. My b/f picked me up and threw me over this shoulder this weekend while we were out playing in the yard with the dog. Talk about a WOW moment. I'll never forget it. Janie 272/142
