Ok stop now.
I don't have anything to add other than you look fabulous, even if you are a skinny ***** and I'm sure your body will sort this out in the next few months.
My only question is are you perhaps doing too much cardio? I know you have a past history of being a compulsive exerciser which is why I'm asking. Perhaps for a while you should focus solely on your resistance work and just enjoy your post-DS life.
Bet you never imagined you would be worried about losing too much! Savor it!

Hello blossom. I'm doing about 20mins of cardio three times a week and walking the dogs every second day (David does the others). I have broken my obsession with eating and exercise which is amazing. Now I do weights to try to get bigger rather than smaller which is a massive mind **** for me.
You're right I never believed I could get even remotely near goal let alone well below it. This is a strange and interesting dream.

I may be insane here, and that's okay, but as a pre-op who's 5'7", I have 140 as a desirable personal goal in my head. Do you think that's too low? I haven't discussed this with a surgeon yet, but in my mind even 155 would be more than I am comfortable with. Of course, I'm saying this now as a pre-op and I might feel completely different when I actually start the DS ride.

I'm 5'7" too. I have to say that I am much smaller/thinner now at 145 than I thought I would be. It makes no sense! I'm guessing that perhaps I have denser bones from carrying around all that excess weight for 15 years?
When I weighed 135 for half a minute in high school (16 years ago now!) I was a size 10 and very lean. Now, I weigh 145 or so and I'm in a size 6 and can occasionally wear a 4! I know sizes change over time, but I swear I was not this thin back then and my family and friends all agree.

Tassy-
I haven't weighed 145 since probably 1994, so I have no concept of what that would mean for me now especially as an adult because I was an adolescent then. So, I really don't know what 140, or hell 150 is gonna look like on me. I'd say I have some strong ass bones, though, for carrying my big butt around for years. Size 6?! I think I'd done died and gone to Heaven. I can't even imagine it, it's possible?! Ha!
