I've got about 18 pounds to go, I think. I still don't really have a 'set in stone' goal weight. Originally it was 170, now it's 160. I don't think it's going to move much from there.
Both of you have lost so much weight already, congrats!
Underwater----just want to say, GREAT JOB!!! You are so inspiring to me and your progress is amazing!!! I have more than 20 to go but I'm trudging on every day. It's people like you that make me want to keep going!!!
Hello all, I have about 10 more lbs to go, but I'm thinking of changing it to 15 more. I guess I'll do my original goal of 10lbs and decide once I get there. So I'm in!
I have twenty one more pounds to go...but thinking I may need to change that number to more like thirty..im not liking what im seeing or feeling thus far

Elvis, thank you!!! I think we are very similar. I read all your posts and I am on a doctor-supervised low calorie program, too. Mine is called HMR. It's not very common, which is surprising to me as it is very successful. It is run out of the Weight Management department at my doctor's office and my supervising doctor also sees a lot of weight loss surgery patients and she says my program is more successful at the 5 year mark for weight kept off then the surgery.
What is your program like? I bet you exercise more that I do. We have to burn 2000 calories a week and I usually do 2000-2200.
I am 17 pounds from my goal, so i am with you. I am having trouble moving the scales down. I go through periods of them getting stuck to a number, then come 2-3 days where they go UP, and then suddenly they go down further than before and then.......get stuck there again....till next time. I suppose that is the way my body is loosing weight and sometimes it's frustrating.....it took me 3 freaking months to loose 12 pounds. I know it's so so slow, but i cannot do it quicker. I need to eat properly or else i am going to faint. Too much fatigue during my day. I am highly active so i do not aim on crash diets. I suppose if i ate less i would have seen quicker results, but i try not to fret too much about my slow progress.....

Well, I'm a bit above that as I would really like to get to 165 and I'm a shade over 185), but anything under 170 is golden in my book.
Of course, the last time I joined a "last 15-20 pounds" I never lost the last 15-20 pounds!!!! ARGH!!!
This time is different though and I'm rolling along. AND I'm stronger (physically) and more fit. Now I want people to be able to see that muscle definition, not have it hidden under the layers of fat! (I'm at about 33% body fat right now).
