Hi Laura, I was thinking of how to answer this post, and then I read Sue's post and she put it right on. I'm hanging around 149-153 right now. So at 5'4" I'm still considered overweight. My surgeons goal for me was 155 so I'm under that...and my goal is 145 because it puts me in a 'normal' weight category for my height. So because my surgeon's and my own expepctation were pretty low (for lack of a better word). I'm right on target. But if I went by weight charts and society...I'm still a good 20lbs from a 'good' weight for me. I feel really comfortable where I am. I still trying to lose to get down to the 145...but its not a must. I feel I can maintain this weight pretty easy and I have my health back...so life is good just as it is. I'm having fun now trying to see how much more I can lose. Keep jumping Rachel

Hi sweetie! I can totally relate to this post! Actually did the sprint to the finish on my last training run. I was all alone, but I could hear the roar of the crowd in my head! ha!!! I think when I talk to people about my running they think I'm boasting, but honestly...I'm in total shock...couldn't have done it this time last year! Loving it, Rachel

Good for you! I want to join...still 10lbs away...but I'm not complaining Rachel

Laura, you have done fantastic so far just keep working at it...it will happen. I happen to have to go even farther...another 120+ still to go and I haven't made the Century Club (-99 and holding). I just have to remind myself that it took me 20+ years to get to my highest so if it takes me longer than a year to get it off...I'll live...albeit impatiently, but I'll live.

Still doing the Jenny Craig thing so today it is: B-Carb Control Smoothie (Berries 'n Creme) S-JC Banana Muffin L-Chicken and noodles D-I think it is Fajitas Total it is barely 1200 calories, but I can rarely eat an entire item...like with the fajitas...I'll just toss the tortillas. Behind on my water already...ran out which means I have to go to the Shoppette next door to get more...of course we have 20-40mi winds today and I don't want to go outside.
