Topic: I Never Thought I Would Say This....
Okay I feel ashamed to say this since I hear so many of you are plateuing but I am honestly getting to the point that I am scared to lose to much weight. Lately so many of my friends and family have been telling me that I need to stop losing weight (like I can help it since I eat all the time to maintain my blood sugar) and they are telling me that I am starting to look anorexic. I did not realize how small I was getting until I went shopping for pants that would actually fit me the other day and I started with a size 9 which I thought would be a safe bet and ended up having to buy a size 3 in pants and M in shirts. I started my journey last September at 233 lbs and I am now down to 116. I am honestly getting scared. Am I the only one feeling this way? I guess I did not ever think it would bother me to be called "skinny" again but when people tell me I look anorexic I think that hurts as bad as being called "fat". I am really concerned about this since every month I am still losing 8-10 lbs. Any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated.

Sounds like your doing pretty good. Keeping up with my 2.5 year old is probably one of the best things in the world. I can't believe how much she does and how much she is always on the go. I thank my doctor daily when I am able to run like the wind to keep up with her. Your weight loss is going great. I know what you mean about the rolls, I have a lot of skin at the top of my thigh's and I really can't wait until the day I can get that and the skin on my upper arms removed. I need it taken off my tummy and would like a boob job but those 2 things can wait until we are entirely through with having kids.
Any who, keep up the great work. I am sure you look wonderful.......

Topic: RE: 91lbs down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think 140 is realistic! Thats where I would like to be. 140-145 range. I also did not get a magic # to shoot for. They just said 75% of my excess weight would be excellent. I figure that puts me around 150. Lots of other people are starting to harrass me about the fact that I am "skinny and need to stop now". Truthfully, I don't know how to stop. It has slowed down but has not stopped. I go to the pool for arobics 6 times a week. Maybe that helps.
