10kg (22lbs) off a 'healthy' BMI!

Hi everyone,

I was sleeved on October 15 so I'm officially 6 months out and have lost 40kgs (88lbs). I'm so excited to be this close to a healthy BMI something I've never been before and I'm now within 10kg (22lbs) of this goal!

Is anyone at this point now or has anyone successfully hit goal and can share some advice and their experiences?? I am finding it difficult to drop now that I'm so close - yet so far!! I'd love to lose another 15kg even to bring me right down to something I'm happy with :-)

Also I feel a bit 'melted'...as in my skin is so elastic and stretchy - does this get better with time???

Getting hungry these days too... :-/ come on motivation!!!

I was sleeved 3 weeks after you and also down 40kg exactly! I have another 9kg to a healthy weight! I would also like to lose about 15kg more and then maintain ... how are u feeling?? Bet you're getting a heap of complliments :) I feel my confidence has improved but still see a fat person in the mirror!

From what I have heard the skin will def tighten up over a year of two. I strength train and have found it a big help!

Also feeling hunger and sugar cravings too ... GRRR. How fast are u losing now??

Bella86 : I know how you feel ... It getting tougher - I got sleeved 8/16/13. I'm current 5 months out and I've been stuck at the same weight for 2 weeks ... Still motivated , switching up my workout routine , and still only doing about 600-800 cal a day
