Your weight goal is between you and your doctor...no one else. Whatever you
think is best, whatever your MD thinks is best, IS best and it's no one
elses business.

I have a hard time staying under my goal. I have lost my status hundreds of
times (not really but it sure does feel like it) and all the time people
tell me that I look fine and I should raise my goal. I actually almost did
but then I thought about it. The only time I feel comfortable and thin and a
KOPS is 3 - 7 lbs. under my goal and if I raise my goal *I* will never feel
comfortable. I asked my MD last year if 196 was too low for me. She said no.
That's about right. Online I have read I can go as low as like 145. WHAT?
Me, 6' 2", at 145 lbs.? LOL! What a sight that would be. I will stick with
196 and struggle to get this and struggle to stay there because it's worth
it because it's the weight *I* feel good about. IT'S MY TIME right?

If I get there and someone says, "You look too skinny!" I am going to say
thanks, lift up my shirt and say, wanna see a rib??? LOL! After years and
years of being called FAT and etc. I would love to be told YOU ARE TOO
SKINNY at least once! Sorry...JMO! :)
Good luck!
