I am not sure if I really need to loss 7 more...but once my Dr gave me my new goal, I can't seam to stop...it's in my head lol....I am very skinny on top ,a little bigger on bottom so I hope it comes of the bottom

Hello I have a question for this group... I am 154 pounds now ,I have a normal BMI...and only need 7 1/2 pounds to go....I am 5'7 .... my weight loss is a snails crawl ....sleeved Dec 26, 2013 ....I think it's because my body thinks it's in Maintenance ...which is bound to happen when I get this close to goal... My question is ,what is a good calorie range should I be in to maintain. ..currently I eat about 1000 to 1100 calories...protein 65 to 70 ...carbs 100-130 (a little higher than I like...but fruit is killing me ) Highest weight 296 surgery weight 264 Today 153.6 Patty

I am like Chellemeime...I only eat about 3 to 4 oz of meat....and that's a good thing

This last month it has slowed down for me to This is why I was happy to see the little bit of movement in the scale this morning.... I do and eating more almost every day it is between 952 to 1000.... And I struggle to keep it there... It won't be long before I will be between 1000 to 1100 ... But my doctor wanted me to be between 950 to 1100..., He just want to meet to Jeff it back-and-forth to keep my weight going

Hello everyone I am so excited today..... I have hit a normal BMI.... First time in 30 years When I got on the scale this morning It said 158.8.... I needed to be 159 to make normal.... So I'm doing the happy dance I just need to get to the new doctors goal weight of 147 he lowered it for me. My heaviest weight when I started seeing the doctor was 296 pounds Lost presurgery 32 pounds Had surgery on December 26, 2012 Weight 274 pounds then Now 158.8

I am trying to lose and make it to 159 by the 9th of September (9 pounds) this will take my BMI to a normal weight (haven't seen normal for about 25 years) And by October 25 (Vacation)I want to be 147 (21 pounds) to my new update Doctors goal ( original his goal for me by my Dec anniversary 175...already done that ) Wish me luck Patty

Sounds like everyone is doing great.... I've always been very muscular in my legs I am down 123 pounds.... I need to lose 13 pounds to make my BMI in my normal weight.... My doctor has readjusted my goal weight as of my last appointment two weeks ago..... He had first had my goal weight at 175 by my anniversary date of surgery December 26... But when I went to my six month appointment I was already 175... So now he's lowered me down to 147 (The man is killing me )... So now I have to lose 26 pounds more... Mainly in my legs ...These last three weeks have been very slow weight loss for me.... I work retail And my two days off I donate myself to help watch the grandkids while they are out of school oh joy ... So I have not been exercising correctly actually very little if it all I need to get back on the ball.... I've been lazy I will say it Patty Good luck everyone
