How will I know when I am done losing weight?

[cindym44 75]

Hi everyone -

I LOVE my new body and would like to lose about 25 more pounds, but if I don't...that's ok. That's ok because I haven't been this size in over 12 years. I am pretty happy with the way I look and I pretty much eat what I want, but I follow the strict rule of Protein first. If I still want more to eat, I will eat veggies next and then maybe a bite of carbs. I can't tell you the last time I had a sub or even a sandwich...I already know I can't eat it, so why bother buying it.

My question is this...when will I know when my body is "done" losing weight? I am 4 months out and also wonder how many months will I go until I am "done" losing weight? How did you know?

Thanks all!

I'm also about 4 months out, and while I don't really know the answer, I will tell you that I have a friend that kept losing (albeit slowly, she was a slow loser the whole way) for 4+ years. She thought she was happy and done when she got to the 170's...then at various points along the way and now she weighs in the 130's and she looks and feels fabulous.

So, I guess what I'm saying is you can't answer that right now. I think the answer is that you will stop losing weight when you do. (Assuming you stick to the plan).
