18 pounds is a significant amount of weight still to lose. You're still overweight now, and will be on the higher side of the BMI range even at your goal weight.

You may be surprised with what you see when you get to a normal weight. You may find that your goal weight still doesn't give you the form that you like because it's not lean enough to get a "flat" stomach.

What's your current body fat percentage? It's OK to be "happy" on the higher side of a normal BMI, but don't expect leanness if you aren't lower body fat, and you aren't actually lean.

Yeah that’s true, that actually makes me feel better cuz I really want to see some more
Progress. I think I do wanna stay on the higher side, cuz I like some thickness just not in my stomach

You don't get to pick where it comes off from. If you want to be higher, don't be expecting to get a flat stomach.

It's Saturday. I think it might even be sunny and beautiful where I am, so I want us all to have a nice, warning free day if we can.

No PM needed - I just can't help but think, every time I see you post, that an "&Ms" needs to be added to your user name.




Apologies for the derail.

It might make a huge difference; and it might not. We are not gods, we cannot see into your future....
