Hey Marianne! It's me again! LOL...I went and did the BMI calculator and my BMI is actually 20.9. I updated my profile. So, you want to go lower than where you are now?? I can not imagine you being any thinner! You are such a little peanut as it is. You really look amazing. I actually liked myself at 128 lbs, as this was my goal, so being where I am now is actually less than what I wanted. I gave myself a range of 120-128 lbs; if I stayed within that range I would be happy. I think I dipped lower because of my gallbladder problems. Now that I had it out, I will most likely stabilize. Hope all is well with you, Marianne. Thanks for being such a support to me. I always appreciate reading your posts and replies. Hugs, Denise

WOWWWWWWWWWW! You look fantastic! You look like a movie star! You are so thin............I want to be that thin. Is your BMI 21.3? I think I may have to set a new goal of a BMI of 21.3 (That would mean I would have to weigh 110). Congrats on your weightloss you have done a wonderful job! All I can say is WOW! Thanks for sharing your pic. --Marianne 5'0 256/122/120

I am down to 152, not my doctor's goal, but I like myself just as I am. I go up and down a couple pounds, which gets to me, but I am happy and healthy. I do not get my water in as I should and I have added small bits of potatoes and rice with meals. Pre-op starches would add pounds, sooo what can I say. I also found sugar does not affect me, bad news! I just stay away from anything with sugar. Marla 274/152/145(per doctor)

Hey Kim, Same or me. I know I have a thyroid condition. Plus am doing menapuase. I have had about four durgeries..a couple before my RNY.... another after. My life is one big stresser. Well, I am checking with certain doctors to try and see whats going on. For months I have not been able to lose any more. I too have about 50 more pounds. People including my pastor tell me how good I look. But secretly I am frustrated. Plus for some reason I crave starch..like french fries. What am I missing in my vitamins that is doing me in. I am not pregnant as one of my surgeries was a total hysterectomy. I would welcome anyone e-mailing me as well. I too have not been on the board in for ever. Too busy trying to keep my medicaly challenged children a float. I am off to a psychiatric appt. I know at this point I need help that way as well. Kim..THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing!
