Not to much loose skin yet, only my arms

Actually I'm at 203 lb, I lost 117 already and like I said I would still like to lose another 30 to reach my personal goal.
I still watch what I'm eating, I don't track my food anymore unless I haven't lost in a while. Then I'll log my food for a week to see if I'm not going wrong somewhere, I drink a lot of water and exercise daily. I do a lot of cycling, did almost 1300km (I think that's 777 miles, correct me if I'm wrong) in the last 2 and a half months even when it's almost freezing and raining I will still go. The days I'm not cycling I will go for at least a 30 minute walk.
I don't want to stop loosing untill I'm at 170, but since my surgeon told me I was below his goal weight and that most people tend to go into maintenance after 1 year (which is only 2 more month for me) I got scared.

So I had a consult with my surgeon today and he told me that most patients tend to go into a maintenance phase after 1 year (I'm 10 months post op and lost a bit over the weight that they expected). So I lost 70% of my excess weight, but I would like to loose a few more kg, I would actually like to loose at least 4 more kg (which is definitely possible before my 1 year mark) and my personal goal weight is actually still 14kg. What experience do you guys have with losing after 1 year?
He also told me that most people tend to regain a few kg before going into maintenance (he told me that regaining 5kg would be normal for me). Also would like the hear some experiences on this one, I panic at the idea of gaining those 5kg again...

Congrats on such a fabulous change! Great job.

Thank you so much for this, this was just what i needed to hear. I don't mind if those last 30 lbs take a long time, even if they would take me more then 6 months or so I don't mind, as long as I eventually get to my goal I'm happy.
I try not to fixate on the number my scale shows me. The last 3 months I only did a monthly weigh in because I was panicking when I gained (which was quite often if you weigh daily) and would not eat at all. I also started exercising more intensely around the same time and even though I have only lost around 20lbs in the past 3 months I dropped multiple sizes. I have a lot more muscle especially in my legs and because of that I have less hanging skin. My body fat % has dropped immensely, so those are the things I try looking at now. But I had a weigh in at my surgeons office and knew I was 30 away from my personal goal because of that, so when he told me most people go into maintenance after 1 year and often gain a little bit back before maintaining it kinda made me panic.

I believe a size 42 is a US size 12.
