Check-up with my surgeon yesterday
I knew I was feeling pretty good and now its confirmed I am doing pretty well. I have lost a total of 54 pounds according to his records so far and it turns out my new scale is right on the money. I am so glad I bought it and started using it instead of my old one since I was not frustrated by the difference at the Doc's office LOL! I have been blessed with no complications at all and I got the word for what he expects my final weight loss to be. His goal is to get me to a 30 BMI but I told him that would be okay but I am striving for the normal range of BMI if I can make it. He said there is no reason not to aim for that but to stop where I feel best about myself. Okay I can agree to that pretty easily.
**Note about my scale** I replaced my old scale and immediately 'gained' about 10 pounds because of the discrepancy between the scales. I am happy to report I have lost a little more than half of that now and expect in a couple of weeks to get back down in a legitimate way to my 199 pound mark. I only have 6 pounds to get there so I will keep on doing what I can but stay healthy in the process.

Sounds like you're making excellent progress.
I recently changed my goal. I had originally set it at an unrealistic number...like what I weighed in HS. (Silly me!!) I was lucky to weigh that THEN!
Now I'll be happy to be in the "normal" range too.
Keep it up Beannie! We'll get there!
