That happened to me the last time I lost a decent amount of weight. I lost 30 lbs but was still pretty far above my goal (healthy) weight and a friend kept asking me if I was sick and saying "what do you weigh? like 100 lbs?!!" HELL NO, if I was that skinny I wouldn't have had to lose 30 lbs!! It was ridiculous because it…

Thanks. I guess there really is no way to know for sure (without some sophisticated scientific equipment that would be ridiculous!!).

Thank you everyone for the insight and encouragement!! By no means do I think that the weight is going to come off quickly. I've really not given myself any target or goal date or even weight, as I just want to be healthier and lose weight as a great benefit, but I am hoping that in a year I will be a "new" person. I just…
