4 pounds till I hit 1st goal!
I cant believe it! Only 4 more pounds to go till I hit my first goal! I have NEVER made a weight goal before in my WHOLE LIFE~~~ and I have been dieting since my mom put me on a diet in elementary school where she took me to drs and got diet pills for me! so let me tell you, thats a very long time...Im now 51 years young and when I say young I mean it..loosing 71 pounds has made me feel oh so much younger and I have so much more energy and "spark". Well, no more "if" I get to goal..I WILL be getting to goal. I will checking to see if I want to set another one..Now the big question to all you out there.. should I set a closer goal or a larger one..say 160 compaired to 150? Or since I dont know where I would like to be should I take it slower? Had my 6 month check up and was told that at my weight now I could decide if I wanted to stop loosing or not.. all reports came back excellent, blood pressure down from 140 to 118, and that was on blood pressure meds sorry to say, no more feet or leg pain..My bmi should be up 107- 145 pounds. Im still considered overweight at this weight... soooo, whatcha all think? Even my kids have said mom in some jeans you look so skinny...Im like what? ME SKINNY??? those 2 words have never been in a sentance together ever!..anyway...Sorry so long

Well hello there!
Personally, I would adjust your goal down into a normal bmi range... but that is just me. My feeling is that this is probably the time that it will be the "easiest" for us to get the weight down since it has become second nature. My docs also showed me a chart that indicates there is a slight regain for most patients (about 5% if I recall correctly).
I am in the same boat as you. I have about 6 pounds until I hit the bmi of under 25. But, if I were to stop this instant I would still feel fantastic and look pretty darn good. But, I do have some definite poundage in the belly. Thus, I am planning on hitting goal and then taking it one week at a time until I am at a comfortable weight. The only thing I know is that I do not want to hover at the bottom of the healthy weight range because when I have surgeries for the cancer I tend to lose a smidge each time or if chemo is in the future.
Alot to think about, but what a great problem to have! So glad to see you are doing well!
