When does it stop

So I know this is a bit of a weird one, but when does the weightloss stop?  I have had to lower my goal weight twice now.  I am a week away from the one year mark.  Dont get me wrong, I love the results but if I loose much more weight I will start to be a little on the to thin side.  Just to stabalize and maintain, I pick high calorie foods (crazy I know).  I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?

 Hi, I think it's different for everyone.  My weightloss lasted for 2 years.  I went down to 149 lbs and eveyone told me I looked too thin.  I started adding carbs and my weight went up.  You have to be carefull, I now think I gained too much and am trying to loose 10-15 lbs.

Maybe schedule an appointment with your GP just to make sure you are ok. I am actually a little jealous. I have plateaued and just can't seem to reach my goal.

I haven't heard of anyone getting too thin from these procedures. You are bound to level off soon.

Take care.

I don't have many suggestions other than increasing your calories and carbs. Talk to your doctor and see what they suggest. I'm only 6 1/2  months out and I sure wish I could speed up my weight loss. I get so frustrated and am so scared that because I lose so slowly that I'll never reach my goal.

I had the exact same question as you and I asked Dr. V at my last appt. He said that our bodies will adapt and level off at it's intended weight...just like a "normal person". He said that getting too thin is very rare,
I asked Laura the same question. I had been losing weight too quickly and she suggested adding some fruit juice to my diet (yay...apple juice!) and some more carbs. I had my surgery at the very end of Sept and I've lost 90 pounds.
I'm hoping to lose 10-20 more and then stop...but I wonder if my body will agree? I think I may be exercising too much...I think once I cut down, my weight will stabilize.

I dont exercise at all!  Mind you I move much faster then I used to.  I fear excerize will drop me down even more and I am trying to maintain.  I am getting a little tired of all the "you are to thin" "you should eat more"  "are you turning into an anerexic" comments.
