Reached my "OMG I hardly dare say this number out loud" goal!
When I had my surgery in Mrch 2010, I set my goal at 125. A couple of months later I got all ambitious and set it at 115, which was the last weight at which I remembered feeling really slim (some time in the first Nixon administration!). Then early this year I hit 125 and looked and felt really good, and decided to call it all good and revised my goal back to 125.
But in my head I never stopped shooting for 115. And suddenly this weekend, my weight fell off a cliff and went from 116 all the way down to 114.4! And finally, after 17 months, I have reached my crazy optimistic I-don't-even-want-to-say-this-number-out-loud goal!! And I've adjusted my weight loss ticker accordingly.
Man, it feels awesome!!
I sure do love my sleeve!!

wow must feel great! (loved the "sometime in the Nixon administration" part, lol)
I reached a 24.9 BMI this weekend and am thrilled but with it I also started having internal doubts about how much I really want to end up with. I already lost 2 more pounds since Saturday and am a little scared. I don't want to get too thin. is there such a risk, to not stop losing and becoming way to thin? I always read here that people just go and have more peanut butter and such, but is it a nightmare to avoid losing too much? (sorry if I am hijacking your post or so!).

SW 215=98 | GW 137=62 | CW: 116 lbs = 52.5 kg | 5'4 | lost: 99 lbs=45 kg | goal: 7-9 mo.
Congratulations. That's wonderful!!!!! Do you think that is a good stopping point and will you try to maintain at this weight?
I hope to get some insight to my goal weight this week when I have my one year checkup with Dr Cirangle. I think I can afford to lose a little more weight....but maybe just firming it up too. I'm not sure. I'd rather be thinner in case of some bounce back.

Thanks for the encouragement, everybody!
I plan to keep doing what I'm doing, and if I lose more, that's okay with me. I still have a surprising amount of fat on my body! I could definitely stand to lose even another ten pounds before I was in any danger of being "too thin." And I definitely wouldn't mind having a nice cushion in case of the dreaded bounce-back!
