Left to lose to Reach Goal

Hi Tammy! I went to see my dietcian last week and I weighed in at 131 lbs! So, to reach my goal, I have only three pounds to go! WOOHOOO! I can't believe it. My dietician said firmly that I should stop now and maintain, but I have it in my head to get to 128 lbs. What a mind game this can be, because really, in all honesty, what is three pounds? But for some reason, the 120's is where I want to be. I am only 5'3 and have a very, very small frame. My sister is the same height as me and weighs 110 lbs and isn't too thin. We are just very petite and small framed, so I don't think 128 is too small. But we'll see. Hugs and congrats to you and everyone else on their success! Denise

Well...I am 147 today and 7 lbs from my original goal of 140 but then I changed that goal to 130...so make that 17 lbs from goal... Kristy

I haven't stood on the scale in a while, but as of the last time I did, I'm down 130 pounds. According to my primary goal that was set with my surgeon, I have 18 more to lose. However, weighing at 140 will put me at the high end of "normal" and the thought of gaining 2 pounds and being considered "overweight" makes me want to get to 130-135 instead. I'm also having eating issues. I am eating more often and eating things that are higher in fat & calories. For example, lately I've been eating steak strips (by Tyson in the red pouch) on a soft taco tortilla with regular sour cream and a handful of shredded lettuce. I'll eat this 2-4 times a day! I know I'm on my way to gaining if I don't get it under control. Thankfully, now that I know I'm having issues, I know I can deal with them before they get out of hand! Congrats on all of the weight lost to you all!

Wow!!! You all are doing great! I am 5'9" and I weighed 521 when I started. I have now lost 167 pounds. I'd like to get to 180 or less. My surgeon doesn't really have a goal for me just yet. And I am definitely gonna need some reconstructive surgery. (I prefer to call it that instead of plastic surgery, so that my insurance will cover some of it! LOL) So anyways, to get to my goal, I have 173 to lose. *~Amber~* 521/354/180?
