:rolleyes: Jennifer, I have to smile and roll my eyes, I just was thinking the same thing. I have also reached and surpassed my goal. I wanted to be a size 10 and now I am a size 6, I started as a size 24. Now I want to be tone, I hate my legs and I was worried about my arms but they are looking really good. I am sure this will level off after a while, I think my eyes and brain are having a problem adjusting to the new me, I think I have trouble seeing my self as small as I really am. I think I have the body size corrected, I am thinking I need to fix my thought processes now. So you got company girl, still taking this new life one day at a time. By the way you look amazing. B)

I'm interested to hear people's answers to this. I am 20 lbs away from my goal of 149, hoping for a size 8...but already I'm thinking and wondering what i will look like and if I will be satisfied. No way to tell until I'm there i guess!

My original goal was 79kg which was a BMI of 25, and I knew I would never been happy with that - I always wanted to get much thinner. But did I consciously change it to another number ....... no. I just stopped where I stopped.

I know exactly what you all mean and speaking as someone who has been through tons of sizing on her way down i can tell you that in most cases u will never be satisfied with the way you look at goal weight. When i weighed the same as i do now many years ago i would have been 3 sizes smaller than what i am now, even tho i have just had my skin removed there is no way i will ever look like i used to, most of that is down to age and genetics and hormones.

Bodies dont like the clock being turned back so they do other things instead, my face, my butt and my breasts were the first areas to lose all this weight and i hate it ...

but at least i am healthy now and at 58 i dont suppose it matters as much as if i was 28 so good luck and i hope you get where u want to be :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
