Monday Morning Weigh-In

Hi Dee - you are doing great!  You are also getting close to hitting Dr. Garth's goal of under-30 BMI, which puts you in the "Overweight" and out of the "Obese" category.

For my height that was 163 and I definitely wanted to lose more than that.  I am happy with my mid-140's, which is a good thing because I don't have to work much at staying here and would have to work real hard to lose any more.  This is where I stopped losing and where my body wants to be, so I am not fighting it   I am 9 pounds from a "Normal BMI", but it just wouldn't match the rest of me and since nothing else about me is *normal* 

So far maintenance hasn't been so bad - I just follow the rules most of the time - protein first, no water with my meals, go easy on the carbs and try to get some exercise.  Some days it is easy when I am busy - some days I struggle. 

I credit this board with preparing me for maintenance and knowing if I didn't follow the rules I would regain.  I sure don't remember hearing much about regain at the doctor's office or classes.  I was under the impression that the surgery did everything for you before I came on here.  HA!  I wish!!!
