Does anyone's goal weight still leave them "overweight" or "obese"?



Recommended Posts

To add to what I posted previously: at the rate that I am losing weight. I really think that I am going to surpass the weight goal that I personal set for myself (which would have left me with a bmi in the overweight range). I have a feeling that I am probably going to be closer to the normal range. We all just have to listen to our bodies and stop trying to decided what is going to happen when ultimately we have no control over it.

I disagree- I absolutely have control over my weight. That's why I got sleeved, to regain control of my body. I would never suggest acting to one's detriment, e.g. If something causes me pain, I listen to my body and stop doing it. However giving up control got me to 265 lbs.

I am not sure that you have completely understood what I meant. I never meant that you would not have control over your eating. That is definitely something I am appreciative of now. What I was intending to express, a lot of people are concerned about the ultimate weight they will end up at. My initial goal for my weight weight was 165 lbs. Well, I am 3 months out and have already lost 60 lbs. That leaves me 30 lbs from my goal. This is leaving me not so much in control of the amount of weight that I will ultimately lose.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
