I agree with the person who said that > when you're bigger you think you look smaller and vice versa. Evebaby... let's take another look at this! At 5'1 " some charts (not mine, but that's another story) say your ideal weight would be 122 pounds which leaves you with 185 pounds of excess weight. You usually only plan to lose approximately 85% of that, so your goal weight loss would be 157 pounds, with your ideal goal weight at 150 pounds. Having lost 75 pounds, as you said, you have already lost 41% of your excess weight. However, if you figure how much you've lost toward your goal weight. you're already 48% toward your goal! You're HALF WAY there! And that's only at 4 months post op. Wow! You're phenomenal! So, get some new clothes and recognize that you are absolutely terrific! .....
