What is a number? Goal weight?

What is that number?  When I had my consultation my surgeon asked me if I would be happy to lose 60 lbs. Of course at the time it was my impossible dream.  I have reached that goal and have made my own.  I have looked at pictures from different times in my adult life. At 144 I was happy.  132 was my lowest weight as an adult.  At 5'2" that would put me at a normal BMI. I could go lower because of my height.  I think Elina's post on the right weight is timely for all of us.

What I have determined for me that I will keep going right now.  I do know that as an older sleever I absolutely do not want any plastic surgery.  If there is too much draping or hanging I will stop there. Right now that is ok.  

Since I was heavy for such a long time, people are asking if I am done losing now. The answer is no for now.  Time will tell where this goes- one lb at a time!  Just my Sunday musings....

Yup, just keep going.....I have really kind of given up on a particular number, and just plan on moving along with my plan each day.  I am 54, down 88 pounds and healthier than I have been in many years....I don't see any reason to change the plan I am on- the scale moves down ever slowly the further out I am from surgery,  thats ok as long as I focus on my healthy choices, and forgive myself, learn and move on when I screw them up at one meal or another!

I figured why buy the ticket and only take half the ride?  I always intended to loose 100% of my EWL and was hopeful that would get me to a normal BMI. If only just barely.  I happily surfaced all that.
