Goal - again!

I started out at 248# and originally set my goal at 150#.   Got there, so revised it to 140# and weighed 140# this morning.    That makes my BMI 21.3 which is well below what I ever dreamed of!  
The funny thing, at about 145# I started trying to maintain, not especially lose more.   And, it started coming off more quickly then!   I was losing about 1# every 10 days or so, but lost the last 5# in under 2 weeks.  
I am fine with losing more!   Especially now that some of the fat has re-distributed and my face and neck don't look quite so bad.   I will let my weight settle where my body wants it to.     I am in a size 8 but they are getting large on me.   NEVER thought I'd be 140# or a size 6-8.  
The negative side is I have bought clothes that I love and don't want that expense again.   
                
Highest weight, 248#
Surgery weight, 236#
Current weight, 138#

That is great!

I hit goal yesterday-145 and I also want to loose a few more pounds so I have a lifetime maintenance range.

I recommend getting the clothes tailored since you love them.

This happened to me too. had to increase calories with a daily hit of peanut butter. it may take you a couple of months to find out the right calories to maintain. but don't be alarmed and don't try too hard to regain. it will come back soon enough. at a couple of years your capacity to eat will be greater and you may feel more hunger. congrats on your success.  diane
