I love the way I look and feel

[scstxrn 213]

Regardless of the cause of the beginning of a heart problem - weight never makes it easier, so maybe you've eased the complications... no, I don't think shooting yourself in the foot is necessarily strange. I think we all do it.

The fact that you said, you love the way to look and feel answers your questions. From my experience, there were weights I felt great at and weights that I felt uncomfortable in my skin at. I felt amazing at 160 and a size 10 not so great at 145 as an 8. Your body will guide you, if you want to go lower, than try it out if not, don't worry because you love the way you look and feel.

Some people just wear their weight well! At 220, you looked great! Now you're even 17 pounds lighter!

I'm 5'7" & my goal is 150 but truthfully, I think that would be too skinny. If I get down to 165, I'd be grateful & happy. Like you, I've always worn my weight well...

Good luck to you!

I also am learning to love myself.. I agree, each person wears their weight differently.. I just hit 199. My highest weight 350 my lowest I can remember around age 14 was 180, but I was a size 16 then... It is so weird 3 kids later and I am now a size 12/14... Even bought a 10 yesterday and it fit... I keep thinking my bones have to be made of lead... My goal weight for myself was 175.. I am 5'8. Dr never set a goal just said "keep with the program" when first discussed WLS I said, 180 was my goal and his nurse said very doable...
