Well because im only 7 days out im not able to eat anything im still on this liquids for another week.. but as of now I drink alot of gatorade, broth, vitamin water, and powerade, even when I am able to eat and drink ill still be drinking gatorade and powerade I hear its really good for you... but after this week ill be able to move into pureed food like baby food and oatmeal blended and some farina/cream of wheat yo dont even know how I cant wait for that I feel so mild nourished I cant wait to hit ,,149 thats my goal and my doc said ill end up around there like my 6 month which is june im thrilled....one last question tho did the weightloss ever slow down?

You have a valid point. I've to thought about this. Though I still have at least 25lbs to go before I hit goal. But It has crossed my mine that I didn't want get Below a certain amount like near 140 lbs?

Congrats on taking care of business !

I dont know how tall you are so I cant say whether theres any wiggle room in your goal weight. I agree the body is going to settle where it wants, so just make sure you are eating heathfully, and exercising, and getting your vitamins, and you should end up at a weight that is right and does NOT make you look sickly.

I also want to say that I am 92 lbs down and 7 months out (as of today!), and sure as s**t , like clockwork the weightloss is slowing down. So dont expect to keep losing rapidly forever. Try to concentrate on living healthy and the number on the scale will end up exactly where it is supposed to be :)
