I WANT TO KNOW..

I want to know if anyone knows how many calories I need to consume a day to maintain my goal weight and not lose anymore???? I am @ my gaol weight I was gonna go w/ 140 but I think 150 suits me fine ...Goal weight reached.. Lynn

way to go on reaching yoru goal can not wait till I am there 40 more for me .

Congratulatons Lynn! I bet you feel great! As for maintaining... you need to probably talk to your surgeon and nutritionist. Again, congratulations!! April

Congratulations, Lynn! That's awesome you've reached the goal you feel is best for you. I've discussed this with my surgeon and nut. and they both say that our bodies will stop losing when we've lost the amount of excess weight we should. But that worries me. I keep wondering what if MY body doesn't notice and continues to lose. I know of others who continued losing after reaching their goal and they honestly do not look healthy. But that could also be themselves who still see FAT when they look in the mirror. And that's psychological. I'd also suggest asking your nut. or maybe post a message on the main messageboard for those who are 1+ years post-op. I'm curious to see their answers so I'll be following your posts . Again, congrats!

WAY TO GO GIRL. Keep up the good work. Your an inspriations to the rest of us. Kathleen G from Missouri

Congrats on hitting your goal. Hope to be there soon myself

Lynn, I am so proud of you. I can't wait to join you someday in reaching goal. Congrats and give your nutritionist a jingle on the phone. Kim M.
