Okay Vets- Goal weight and maintanance questions
Timely question since I am closing in on my original goal weight. I said I would be happy at 140, Dr said 130 (top of normal BMI for 5'). I chose 140 because in the 80's I had stablized for a while after WW at 135 and I figured I would have at least 5 # of loose skin.
Fast forward to now. Well, I am no longer 5', I am 4'10". Hummm. I am also getting real close to 140. Is 120 do-able and maintainable? Who knows but I am still losing, have lost 6lbs this month. I'm thinking somewhere in the 120-130 range even if I don't make it to normal BMI. I'm also not even 6 months out yet so I have more time to lose. I will take about it with both my PCP and surgeon when I see them in March for 6 month appts.
