before and 6 months out pics

Thank you so much!!  Your support means a lot to me.

Jane, glad you got your pics posted!  You look wonderful!  I just want to say Ditto to what everyone else has posted.  Personally I would try to get to a normal BMI because it's not just how we look (you look radiant) but also what is healthy.  Your husband may think he doesn't want you to lose anymore weight but it's like Jody said people aren't used to seeing us "thin" and think we are thin before we really are!  Plus you are only 5 months out and your body most definitely isn't done losing yet.  Keep up the good work and have fun with it!

Sandi, thank you SO much.  I do think I will go ahead and try to get to nl BMI, and you are right, my husband has never seen me thin.  When I met him I weighed 200 lbs, then promptly gained 40 lbs, and he didn't seem to mind at ALL!!!  (which is amazing to me!!!).  He has seen pics of me when I weighed 135-140 and he didn't think I look too skinny in the pics, so he probably will adjust.  He did say that if I had met him at my current weight I wouldn't have given him the time of day.  So at some level he is feeling threatened.  Thanks again.

Jane,
     I think that is wonderful you met your husband when you were not thin.  To me that means he really loves the REAL you!  I bet he will love the NEW you just as much!    I hated the way  I looked when I was heavy, it really affected me emotionally.  I know my husband is very happy for me and also likes the way I look better now.  I bet your husband will adjust just fine, it is a gradual thing and I know you will be able to let him know how special he is to you!
Congrats!

Hi Jane...you look fabulous!!

We are the exact same height and seem to have similiar body types/frames so I'll put in my 2 cents :) I felt great at 160-170 lbs..curvy and sexy...the only drawback was when I gained just a little, it made a big difference and my clothes were tight and I felt huge.

When I weighed 150, I felt so tiny! I am aiming for 150 this time and if I have any redistribution/regain after the honeymoon period, I will have room to go up a bit and still feel ok. Anything over 155 and I will re-evaluate my diet and make sure I am following the pouch rules. 

It all depends on what you think and want...that's all that matters! You are definitely inspiring me!!

Thank you so very much!!  While I feel like you, sexy and curvy at my current weight (the scales went back up to 171 today...ugh...I have been bouncing around from 168-173 for the past 3 wks!!!), when I weighed 135-140 I really wasn't too thin...I looked good.  So I think I'm gonna at least shoot for 150, hope my body/scales will cooperate without me having to get REAL STRICT/deprived LOL.  I have not been REAL strict with myself to date and think I have done pretty good, probably would have done better had I been.  But I am not much into deprivation these days.  We'll see how it goes.  Thank you again for your input, it is important to me!!

Wow...you look amazing!!! Love the outfit too!!!

You got some great advice above :)
For me, I selected a mid-normal BMI which I am at now. I would like to shoot for the lower end of normal BMI and see how my body likes it there. I'll know more now that I picked back up the cardio after my 8 week rest...lol 

Keep up the good work!! 

Thank you very much!!

I did weigh at the lower end of my weight range once 128-130, and I look a bit gaunt, but I sure felt SASSY!!!  I about decided to shoot for about 135-150 if I can.  Hope you reach your goal of 125, and see if you like it there...good luck.  I ended up cutting back my workouts from 5 x a week to 2 x a week so I could play more bridge (which I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE) and it might make it more difficult to achieve my new goals, we'll see.

You look wonderful!

TY!!!
