From a medical standpoint, there is definitely such a thing as "too skinny". A BMI of under 18.5 is considered "underweight" and puts your health at risk.
Some people also fear they may LOOK "too skinny" depending on their body type and weight distribution. But that's a much more subjective issue. For me, I feel uncomfortably skinny when I am under 160 pounds. I like having some curves and some muscle. Others are content to get much lower. It's an individual decision.

Hey I don't believe there is a such thing as being too skinny. I used to be 400lbs and I lost down to 250lbs through diet and exercise. I used to here that alot. I just assumed it was from them being jealous or not used to seeing me that size. I would hear, "If you lose another pound" or "where the other half of you?" Anyway, please don't let it phase you! It is your body and your health.... Keep up the good work!

So I'm down 100 from my highest and 88 from my surgery date 6/13 I have 3 lbs till goal but what I have found works for me is changing it up like they said I allow one cheat meal probably about 2x a week but I work out 5 days a week 40 cardio and weight training 20 mins I switch that up too I'll run some days eliptical walk stepper you shock your body basically but my calorie goal is 1000-1200 and carbs are 50gr per day

What most people don't understand is that fat cells don't actually GO anywhere. They shrink and swell, they're just storage containers.

I lost 140 lbs and I've kept it off .

Now you know for sure that having a bite or two doesn't work for you, at least not with donuts. Probably other things too. Knowing this will help keep you on track. And, let the guilt go. Most of us have experienced way too much self shaming and guilt in our lives that we can change that too.
You have a whole new beginning.

Are you preop?

My plan, starting 29 days post op, calls for a regular diet of 1000-1200 calories per day, no less than 800 calories and 60-90 grams of Protein.
