loosing too much????

Happy Friday everyone, Went to my PCP yesterday and he said that loosing another 10 Kilos( about 22 lbs) might be too much for me. Well, Let me tell you..I weigh 178 lbs so 22 lbs does not even put me into the normal weight range for my height??? I have not heard a doctor talk about loosing too much and for me, the shock? I have been loosing so slowly that I think at times I have just stopped. I think about 6 pounds lost in the last 6 weeks. ANd I get the protein and water daily with vitamins and DAILY exercise: Running 3 miles Mon, Wed Fri and sat< Swimming Tues, thur and Sundays. I just do not know what to think sometimes. The good news is that yesterday went to buy a new pair of jeans: Size 14 and decided to try the 12 on> WEll, Not only could I pull the 12 up but in 5 more pounds I might even be able to breath with them on!! Talk about a shock!! I never have worn a size 12. My dream has always been a size 9 and boy, I think I can actually make it> No I did not bother to buy the 14 as they will be too big soon!! OK< Thanks for lettting me yell a little, I feel better. Thanks for all the support. Jacqueline: Stuck at 178........

Wahooo!!!! What a great feeling that is! Congratulations! Krista

I don't know how tall you are but I am 5'4" and my Dr has set my goal at 150 which would put me at the tippy top of normal range. I am personally aiming for 140-145. If you are close to my height 22lbs would probably be ok, if you are much taller then your Dr may be right. Just go by how you feel and look in your clothes...it sounds like you are doing great! You WILL get into that 9 if you loose another 22lbs for sure.

When I first was having this surgery my doctor had me losing weight to weigh 135 lbs then at my 3 month checkup we talked and he said I think 135 is too much we need to have you at 150 I am 5"7 and I am 174 but I am stuck at this weight and can't get it off but everyone says how great I look and that I don't need to lose another 22 lbs, but that is what my goal is and thats what I want to get too. IF you find a way to lose the rest let me know. I have decided to go back to the basics and eat soup again and see if that helps me, maybe I have been over eating or something I don't know.
