I know all of us "losers" get asked, A LOT, about how much more weight we are planning to lose or what our goal weight is. (As an aside, under what cir****tances is that an appropriate question? Seriously people ever hear of BOUNDARIES?)

I have kept my answers intentionally vague.  I  know that I don't ever, ever, ever want to be over 175 again but that is high for a 5'4" woman, even if she is (still) full figured :).  My super secret, like I-would-have-to-kill-you-if-I-told-you, goal weight is ONLY posted on this site.  I just saw my ticker when I posted on another topic - and realized I have around 40 pounds left to lose to reach this goal.  Damn - that was eye opening... I keep track of how much I have lost fairly regularly, but I guess this is the first time I have paid attention to the other side of that equation...

Here's to all the "losers" out there - Happy Thanksgiving!  May your turkey be moist, and your pumpkin pie be low sugar!

I have never really got the fact that my weight because a public topic. Or advice from people about not losing anymore. It is all I can do not to ask them what there weight is. Fortunately it has gotten better. I have been at goal for over 6 mths and people seem to have found other topics.

In Canada we have already had Thanksgiving but I hope yours is great

OOOH!  I got my answer down pat!  "Oh, when I can work as a Haute Couture fashion model!"

:)

My currently favorite is... "until I am your size" because it is always people smaller than me saying I need to quit losing.  LOL

Oh Psyche!  I love that one!

I shall use it!

Imitation is the best form of flattery.

I'm feeling ya...i also am parking my wheelchair when I get places, and walking a little bit more to get my strength back up in my legs..i can't walk much but when I do.....the comments keep coming... seriously, lack of boundaries on the part of others is my current pet peeve....people seem to think they can comment on just about anything...they say "what happened to your legs"  I say "the same thing that happened to your mouth...I slipped in something I shouldn't have been walking in."   (on any given day or situation the tone of that statement may change from funny to pissed).....:)   I hear pregnancies  only last nine months, and people generally get comments on that for the later part, that shows....if this doesn't end soon I think I am going to scream. ....seriously thinking about moving across country and starting someplace totally else, where people don't know I used to be almost 400 pounds and disabled.

The only person *****ally asks me this is my girlfriend and she has specifically stated that she worries that I am getting too thin. She is taller, but proportionally the same size I was pre-surgery, btw. She said she wasn't sure how much the excess skin weighed and if I didn't have that, would I already be in the "average" BMI range? I am officially about 3 pounds above average, into overweight, right at this moment, and still losing fairly regularly. I know I need to make a few changes in my eating habits because I worked so hard on getting in my liquids for so long that I drink more now than I eat, and that often leads me to not enough calories.

Anyway, I am also 5'4" and my only real goal is 150 lbs. I agree with you that I have a max that I never want to go over (mine was 180 - funny I seem to be about 5 lbs above you on everything!). Congrats to getting so close to your goal, keep up the great work, and I promise I won't tell anyone what it is! :)

No one ever asked me how much I weighed, how much I planned on losing or my goal weight.  Hmmm maybe the people I know aren't nosey?  No idea.  I was told I was thin and looked great and that I didn't need to lose more.  Now I hear nothing.  Makes me wonder if I am too thin.  Being 49 and 128lbs at 5'5  is scary, its a trade off for wrinkles being way more apparent on your face.  I hate the idea of gaining weight but I also hate the idea of looking older then I am.  I need a bucket of money to get more plastics.
