TMI NSV!!!

My drawers don't fit anymore! I generally replace all of my underwear ever two to three months, but I've noticed a significant amount of sagging in the pantie department. Sadly, that has to suffice for my other realization...I'm in that weird weight where I'm still too big for the regular sizes, but the plus sizes are sagging. 

25 more lbs and I'll be down to my military weight. At that point I have to make a decision. At around 190 lbs, I'm nice and fluffy without being out of control, but the numbers say that 152 lbs is a healthy bmi number for me. I haven't been 152 since I was a child (literally, elementary school child). Cultrurally, skinny is not attractive or healthy looking. Medically, my smallest adult weight (even when I was in the military) has been overweight or obese. My husband is afraid that I'll get rail thin. I'm afraid that I'll lose all of my fluffiness. 

Congratulations on your weight loss  

Let your body do what it needs to do. Lose what you can this year and maybe into the next. Bounce back will bring you back up. Reassure hubby that this whole thing is a process and you may very well get a little too low at first but then fluffy again, just be patient. Keep up the good work, don't use carbs as a way to slow or stop your weight loss. You need protein and vitamins, not carbs.

Trust me, the window to lose the weight isn't that long.  I'm already half way through the time, and I'm struggling to get to goal. 

Don't stop the weight loss till you get to goal.  Then start adding carbs if you need to.  Because the weight loss slows down on it's own around the 1 year mark.  Mine slowed down to a crawl around 7 months!  That's the thing, you never know when your time is up and the weight loss stops.  So lose while you can.

As an adult, even in the military, my LOWEST weight was 147...typically I stayed in the 160's at my lowest, 200's the rest of the time.

15 months after I had my DS, I got to 121 for 10 mins...then bounced back. I'm at 143 now. MUCH prefer how I look now.

Don't freak when you get lower than you ever thought possible...it does bounce back. And redistribute.

I don't know how tall you are but at 5' 4", 143 is just barely a normal BMI and is a good weight for me. I'm PLENTY FLUFFY, LOL.

Regain becomes all too easy, so lose all you can while you can. You can easily adjust later. At 4 years out, I am struggling to lose the excessive regain.
