100 just feels arbitrary after all the work I've put into my new lifestyle. Still, it's a BFD, I guess ;) I have about 60 lbs to go. My long term goal is 127, which is literally, the highest I can weigh and have a 24.99 BMI. I know BMI is just one metric, but it's the thing that's been shoved in my face for the last decade as "proof" of what was "wrong" with me. So I'd like to flip ole' BMI the bird. If I end up looking or feeling too skinny or unhealthy, I think my body will let me know when to stop losing. It's definitely slowed down at almost 6 months out.

You look great! Congrats! I hear you on the BMI thing. I feel like the weight at which I would be a normal weight according to the chart will make me look too skinny. I guess time will tell. Also, side note, I now want an Angry Orchard after seeing the sign behind you in the 4th picture. haha

You look great. Good job. Rock on!

FYI...your post title says "16 months," not "6," like in the post itself. Just an observation. SiX is even better! Congrats!

Thank you! And good eye! What l meant is, I started getting serious exercising & losing weight in July 2014, when I recorded my HW of 291. I lost 31 lbs prior to surgery and 70 since! Woot!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
