I am in the "normal" bmi catagory! Yay!

I hit the normal BMI catagory today!  I am officially not obese, not overweight, but normal!  It was painful for me to see "Obesity" on the problem list of my medical chart in the past.  I am 10 lbs. from my personal goal of 135 and I am working hard to get there.  I am 5 3/4 months out and I would love to be pretty close to my goal on Jan. 18th.  Yay for VSG!  I love being able to wear cute clothes now and be able to move so much more easily!  72 pounds gone forever!

 Congratulations!!!!  Whoooooo hooooo!!!  

 Congrats! You lost 72 lbs in only 6 months - WOW! You started as a lightweight too - very impressive. Can I ask what your weight loss was like? Do you exercise? What calorie/carb/protein level did you stay at or did you watch any of them? 

I started at 190 with a goal wt of 120 so our stats are similar. I am 5'2". Losing slow - 33 lbs down at almost 3 months. I just cant see getting to where you are - it seems so far away and still doesnt really feel achievable. 

Thanks

I've used the Spark People app on my phone to record every bite I've taken since my surgery.  I was eating 600-700 calories for the first 3-4 months and about 700-900 during the past few months.  I eat at least 60 gms of protein per day and I try to keep my carbs under 60.  I don't eat fatty foods so I don't focus much on fat grams.  I have been lazy with exercise for the past 6 wks.  I was going to the YMCA 3 times a week before that.  I am going to start working with wts this week to help my muscle tone.  
Congrats on your wt loss and you can get to a normal bmi, too!  I'm 5'4" and 56 yrs old... 

That is great!!!
