 |  No longer considered "Obese"
I'm so excited to report that I am no longer considered "obese" but merely "overweight"...it's such a huge milestone. I only have 31lbs left to lose before I am considered a "healthy" weight.
I don't really remember but the last time I was "just" overweight was over 10 years ago...and the last time I was a "healthy" weight was almost 20 years ago...lol
Yay me!!

Thanks I was always comfortable carrying around an extra 10-15lbs, so if I can even lose another 20lbs I will be happy with the results....of course, I don't see a reason why I couldn't go all the way and lose another 50lbs...anything is possible at this point....

You are getting near the time when your body will take over the process and let you know where the end of your loss is. At some point, not yet maybe, you will have a long stall that will cease to be a stall and become your body's goal. If it's lower than you had thought, it's all good, but if it's not quite there, what will you think about that? Neither you nor your surgeon have any idea what your body will decide.
In my case, the surgeon said 184 after running a few things through his calculator. My body didn't think much of that and decided that another 20 pounds or so would be about right. So here I am, same place (plus or minus a few) I've been for 8 months now (between 166 and 161). I have no recollection of ever in my life being at this weight, although I think I must have passed through it at least once before.
Some of us lose a lot more than expected, some stop higher than they had hoped and some stop near their goal. The next few months will give you a clearer idea of which group you'll be in. If your body thinks 150 and you force it to 135, you're gonna gain 15 pounds as soon as you start maintenance. If you stop where it wants to be, you may stay there as some of us have for a significant period of time, as long as you follow the rules.
Good luck!
CT
