Is your goal weight still considered 'overweight'?

At 5 ft 6 inches, I am annoyed that the goal for me is 170. I will still be at least a size 16. The nutritionist ( a skinny dipsy thing) said I would be a size 8 and maybe even a 6!! She forgets I was 170 on my way up to 289(size 22) and I know I was at least a 16/18 then. All this for a few size drops.....But overweight is better than morbidly obese. LOL

Remember that besides how you carry your weight (mine's all in the hips) part of this depends on how long ago you wore these sizes as the sizes now are much more generous/larger. I have 'saved pants' in every size and at 170 (5'8.5") now I'm wearing my old size 14's and 16's and I just bought a pair of 12's I can fit into at the store- and fit into all the size 12's there (I came home and tried on my old size 12's and I can't fit into one of them).

Well, the good part about this is we older women feel better about the 'smaller' sizes we're wearing (I haven't been in a 12 in 20 years!).

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
