Goal Weight?

At 5'9" right now 4 years post-op I weigh 202. My Doctor set my goal weight according to some outdated chart like most docs still use... at 135-140. I feel great at this weight and wear a size 16. I recently talked to a nutritionist who said that for my bone structure med-large and height she'd like to see me at 169. I would be okay at that weight. I think 140 I would look gaunt. Now days I just am watching what I eat and moderating my carbs and always stick to lowfat high protein meats. I find that if I do that and limit carbs to 1/2 cup of whatever a day and eat lean protein and high fiber veggies that I lose about a pound every week to week and a half without adding exercize to my routine. If I would do a regular workout I am sure it would excellerate my weight loss but I loath exercizing. ;p I know I know... I need to do it. I keep planning on it. lol Anyway, don't obsess over the numbers - focus on how you feel inside.

According to my surgeon, I was exactly 100lbs overweight at 254. I am 5'8" tall. I lost a total of 114 about 6-7 months after surgery and am now at 145. Have been there for many months now. It fluctuates about 4lbs either way but that's about it. I just stick to proteins, haven't had sugar in 14 months, almost no carbs and a lot of diligence. It's hard.
