100 just feels arbitrary after all the work I've put into my new lifestyle. Still, it's a BFD, I guess I have about 60 lbs to go. My long term goal is 127, which is literally, the highest I can weigh and have a 24.99 BMI. I know BMI is just one metric, but it's the thing that's been shoved in my face for the last decade as "proof" of what was "wrong" with me. So I'd like to flip ole' BMI the bird. If I end up looking or feeling too skinny or unhealthy, I think my body will let me know when to stop losing. It's definitely slowed down at almost 6 months out.

ETA: Sorry, some of those files are huge. I still havent quite figured out BP's photo sitch.

You look great! Congrats! I hear you on the BMI thing. I feel like the weight at which I would be a normal weight according to the chart will make me look too skinny. I guess time will tell. Also, side note, I now want an Angry Orchard after seeing the sign behind you in the 4th picture. haha

You look great. Good job. Rock on!

FYI...your post title says "16 months," not "6," like in the post itself. Just an observation. SiX is even better! Congrats!

You rock! Thanks for sharing. It really helps seeing all of the "before", "during", and "after" photos.

Keep up the excellent work!!

Fabulous!

You look awesome!

Thank you! And good eye! What l meant is, I started getting serious exercising & losing weight in July 2014, when I recorded my HW of 291. I lost 31 lbs prior to surgery and 70 since! Woot!
