Looking great!!! What were your stats on iphone ap & can'tread ur profile.

I'm 5'0, starting weight 194 (bmi 37.9) - today I'm 129.5 (bmi 25.2) so my total lost is 64.5. My goal is 125 but I've started increasing my calories to slow my loss so I can find a sweet spot. I had my surgery on October 16, 2012. I've gone from an 18 to a 2/4 (depending who makes it).

I'm hypothyroid so I've kept my calories extremely low the entire time to account for my slower metabolism - when actively losing I stayed around 500-700 (surgeon ok'd this). Now I'm around 1,000 to slow my losing and I hope to maintain at 1,200. I also try to work out at least 4 days a week - my current endeavor is walking cardio (using a HRM, I maintain a HR of 150 for about an hour by doing brisk walking with a steep incline - I'm doing this b/c I have to build slowly since I had severe asthma and it allows me to tone my legs and butt while doing it).
