Hey Tara... I know what you mean. I never ever thought I'd be worried about losing too much weight. I've finally decided I may just go with it. Obviously my body thinks I need to be smaller. I weighed 103 when I met my hubby back in college - didn't have a weight problem till having kids. So, maybe I should lose more. Who knows.... I'm ranging from 133 to 136 now and my body really wants to go smaller - especially when I eat right and do just moderate exercise (for me, that 's walking/running with the dogs 3-4 times per day, plus going up and down the stairs here at home). Not really sure what I'm going to do. I really wanted to start pursuing plastics, but I've heard that with my insurance they want your weight to be stable for 4 months prior. With the way mine is continuing to drop, it may be a while before I qualify. Anyway, good luck. And, if you can figure out how to stop losing, please let me know!!! Susan

East Stroudsburg is a great location - and not as "rural" as you may think. It's not that far from Allentown - which is a decent sized place. I enjoy where we live very much, however the taxes are an issue here as well as we live on what they refer to as the "main line." For this reason we are trying to relocated about 15 min. or so west where things are a tad cheaper. Thanks for the encouragement. I am so excited for you and your hubby and that baby! I can't wait to join you myself on the "mommy bench" - but we need a bigger house first.

my weight loss swings up and down so i prob have water retention. then again, i am very far from being at goal, my bmi is 39. i started out at a bmi of 65, so i am quite a happy chappie to be under 40. oh, i digress, i think my weight loss stopped due to me not doing enough exercise and eating the incorrect foods.

I'm wondering the same thing. I have really upped my calories and I'm still dropping weight. It's slower than before, but it's still going. I really don't want to lose any more weight at all. I just want to have my panniculectomy and be done with it all. I'm even starting to eat things that I haven't eaten over the past year (chips, dessert, sandwiches, etc) to try to keep my weight up! Crazy, huh? Maybe I should stop, keep losing and see where I end up. Maybe my body "needs" to lose another 10 pounds. Who knows.... So, I wish I could answer your question, but I'm dealing with the same issue myself. I never thought I'd have the problem of not being able to STOP losing!! Susan

I've been maintaining since this summer. It took my PS to FINALLY get the last 5 pounds off and get me to goal. With my new body and my current weight, I am VERY happy with where I am and would not care if I didn't lose another pound. I'm sure it will taper off for you soon and you will begin maintaining. Congrats on your great weight loss. Hugs, Tabby
