I Beat Obesity!
Kathy that's amazing!!!! Congratulations! I started out 25lbs higher and you are actually at my goal weight (and I'm the same height) so I can totally understand your feeling of accomplishment as well as your feeling satisfied with your loss success. I've been 16lbs under where I set my goal so I know that felt too low for my comfort level. I absolutely love being under 200, but I like a bit of meat on my bones too if you know what I mean. Knowing I have the tool to maintain a weight where I'm happy is what I'm most pleased about. Do what's right for you and congrats again!!

Thank you!
My family members are all telling me I need to stop now, but I would like to lose a bit more. I'm happy where I am now, for sure, but want some wiggle room in case of regain.
You're doing great too!

Thanks Kathy!! Having gone from 300-159, then (over 10yrs) back up to 329! I understand the very real fear of regain!! I totally get that. Try to dim the weight of opinions of your family and just do you!
