Thank you Potter Girl

I feel the same. I'm at 171 right now and have never been below a size 8/10. Right now I wear a 12 and I'm only a little over 5 months out. I would be happy even if I don't lose another pound, but my goal is to get back to a size 8. Anything below that is uncharted territory and a little scary! I've always felt I look better with a little curves - I don't want to be unhealthy looking!

Uncharted territory is more than a little scary, it's terrifying. I'm 19 lbs. below my personal goal, 9 below my doc's, and well within the range of "normal" BMI. I'm wearing a 16 1/2 neck dress shirt, which I've never fit into as an adult, and a 38 waist, which is like high school era for me (I'm 42). I would be perfectly happy to not lose another pound, but it keeps coming off (I get no sympathy for that, I understand). I'm at 1,200-1,500 net calories a day, and trying to find the sweet spot.

Am getting plenty of comments like, "OK, don't lose any more weight." And I agree!

That's funny though huh? Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. I don't think it's going to be a problem for me to keep losing. As it is, all I have to do is add a few carbs back in and I will gain a pound back. It's more going to be a balancing act to make sure I don't gain again. Is your doc concerned about your continued weight loss? I see my doc for the first time this Friday for my 6 mo follow up (this is the internist who now follows us instead of the surgeon) and I assume she will finally give me a goal weight. I haven't gotten one as of yet. Anxious to hear what she has to say.

My dad is in his 50's and went through the same thing! He went from 48 pants to a 36. He was concerned because he hit his goal of 220 and the weight just kept moving. He's now over a year and a half out now and stabled out around 195 and has been within a couple lbs of that for the past few months. So eventually, the body does adjust
