I'm down to the last 4 pounds to lose before I reach my goal of 145. My surgeon originally said 130 and I thought that was too low for me. I don't know where my body will level off and stop losing...I could very well get down to 130. I'm 5' 6.5" and folks are calling me skinny now...makes me wonder what they'll call me if I lose another 19 pounds.
I still feel fat. No, not as I once was, but the flabby skin and the extra tummy skin keeps me from wearing proper sized clothes. Exercise lately has been what I can get in during the day and nothing at a gym. (long story, I have guardianship of my 10-year old granddaughter now)
On the subject of being called skinny...it's weird, I actually take offense to that word now. I'd rather be called slim or trim.
Gina, you're right about eating more food. On days I barely eat I actually gain a little weight and on days it feels like I stuff myself I lose. I lose when I eat pasta or a small baked potato. Guess I need some carbs in this old body!
We're gonna rock this world with our healthy bodies!!
