These pounds are coming and going, coming and going. Last Friday I was at 204, now I am at 207. It would go from 205 to 207 all last week. I guess I am going to start a liquid plan tomorrow. and keep it going to about 4 days. I need to kick this into high gear. I lurk on this board mostly, but someone needs to kick my A$$!!! What the heck? I don't eat all that bad. I watch what I eat. I am not a durn Jane Fonda or anything of that nature, but I don't eat all sweets, fats, or greasy foods. I eat good things. I have a habit of eating cocoa Krispies now before I go to bed.... I need to shoot that habit I know that!! Starting tomorrow, these pounds are going to melt again! Watch my word!! kayay!!!!!! ok tootles!! Wish me luck on this kick butt liquid I plan on going on! Love yall, Jessica

Michelle, I'm 5'3" and my doc put my weight goal at 135-140. He said that he didn't really want me going below that because of the amount of excess skin (he estimates 10-15 lbs could be removed once I reach the goal above and that would put me right where he says I should be). I too am slowing way down on the loss, partly my own fault as I've noticed I tend to get more carbs in lately. I think I'm really going to have to watch those, especially when I'm PMS. I believe the holiday season is going to be a challenge for me to stay on track. Congrats on the success so far and I know you'll find a goal that is comfortable for you. Toni 267/171/135ish

i also wonder if 137 seems too light b/c i've never been there and i have no idea what a healthy weight would be. :/ i guess the point of my post was being confused b/c i've crossed over into territory i've never been in before. just waking up this morning and seeing 180 on the scale was a moment i'd never had before--at least not that i can remember. it seems like i've been over 200 my whole life. my husband says i'm "so tiny" now but how can an XL be tiny? i guess in comparison to a plus-size 3x it is... i do feel healthy now, i almost feel like i've crossed over the point where weightloss has gone from being for my health to being for my self-confidence. just the other day i tried one of the blood pressure machines at the pharmacy--not only did my arm fit into it without hurting, it also told me that i had a normal BP!!

Michelle, I am 5'4" and my dr says I have a medium frame. He wants me at 160-170 and then they will do the tummy tuck and I will lose another 20-25 pounds which would put me at 135-150.... I don't ever remember being that small so I cannot imagine what that will look like ... Terri

Thanks Patti, my aunt and I go to the same church and she had surgery a month after me so we really freak the people out. They are amazed each week at the difference they say they can see! I am seeing it more and more.... Congrats on your loss as well! Angela
