Congrats Brit I can't believe how time is flying. I am so happy that my pool is opening back up after being closed since August. Here are my stats: Starting weight 298.5 Last week = 165.6 This week = 163.4 Loss this week = 2.2 Total loss = 135.1 Current BMI = 29.9 The overweight range Have a great time in Disney. Everyone have a fabulous week Deb

Oh yeah Deb! Congrats on being OVERWEIGHT - I was jumping for joy that day ... ahhhh no longer OBESE ...congrats!!!! great week 2.2 happy your pool has reopened have fun ! thanks for the congrats hugs, Britt

Deb, Lots of milestones for our group this week!!!! You are out of the obese category!!! YEAH!!!! Britt met her goal and Phyllis is under 200! What a group! CeCe

A repeat of last week. I actually got to 140 then bounced back up to 141.5! Here are my stats: Starting weight 234 Last week = 141.5 This week = 141.5 Loss this week = 0 Total loss = 92.5 I saw my PCP last week. She told me that I need to stop losing weight. This coupled with what the bariatric surgeon said, has me considering revising my goal weight. My husband doesn't want me to lose any more either. I had my body fat composition analyzed. He said that I could lose 4-11 more pounds but I read an article last night that said 20-30% body fat is ideal for women. I am within that range. So....I guess I'm leaning towards staying where I am. Since my weight has stabelized I just need to continue doing what I'm doing to stay where I am.

Wanda Makes sense - are WE at goal together then? ? How much do you expect to lose from PS ? Sounds like you and everyone else is happy where you've landed Hugs, Britt
