Only 7lbs to "normal"

I calculated it this morning, and I only have 7lbs to have a normal BMI.  I find it amazing that on April 1st I was morbidly obese.  Now I just have to figure out what new my goal is.  I don't know how low I want to go, .  I asked the P.A., what my goal is and she told me they don't like to give us one.  I need a physical number.  I'm hoping to make my BMI goal by X-mas, then what?  How have you decided on what your goal weight is?

Doreen,

That is so great, what an accomplishment.  You will probably make your BMI by Christmas, but don't get caught up in it....this is a very tough time of year. 

How do you feel?  How do you look?  Are you happy?   I think that should be a better judge of what your goal should be, but if you want a physical number, go online to webmd or something like that, and calculate you height and age, and it should give you a range.  Me...well I am going to be happy to be out of my "range".  I am only 5' tall, and my range is 105 - 120.  Man I have not been that weight since.....well probably grade school!!  So I am going to be happy with 140, although my written goal is 135.  I just know I will look good, feel good, and not be skin and bones at that weight.

Only you can decide what is right for you.  You will know when you are at the weight you should be.

Again...great job, and keep up the good work.  You should be soooo proud.

Hey...where are your pictures??????  Would love to see the transformation!!

Thanks, I feel good and I'm smaller now than when I was 18.  I think I'll know when I'm done. I haven't taken any pictures since my surgery.  I've been talking about with hubby, I never think of it except when I don't have the camera.
