I have no idea when you'll reach goal - weight loss often slows down as we approach our goal and since you had fewer than 50 pounds to lose, I'm not sure what impact that will have for you.  

But, thankfully, it's not a race :)  Stick to your plan and you'll reach your goal when you reach your goal!

I would like to ask how did you get approved for surgery with such a low BMI? Most insurances say 35 with comorbities and 40 without. With around 50 pounds to lose was their medical factors invovled that had you get the surgery? I am just curious.

Ok and again not being judgemental in any way. Why did you get surgery with having a lower amount to lose? If you don't want to answer I completly understand.

Oh ok well I would think with such a low BMI you will get to goal in no time. Just keep in mind that most lightweights lose at a slower rate.

Yes, I think you will make goal. You seem to be doing great. I'm 63 ,too, and I'm losing a lot slower than you. You are really a light weight. I'd almost be happy with your starting weight as my goal. LOL! Good Luck!
