Hey Carole

Thanks for the welcome and for telling me a little about yourself. WOW! you're
so close to the finish line! I've done a lot of thinking about where I want my
weight loss to finish up and I think my prefered weight would be hovering around
70 kgs.

In my bad old yoyo dieting days I once went down to about 57 kgs. Way too light
for my frame and my height. It wasn't pleasant. But I've learned a lot the
intervening years and certainly losing weight this way has helped me to eat well
(with a focus on nutrition) because I'm not being consumed by the ravenous
hunger I once had.

Seeing as how you are so close to your goal now, do you mind if I ask you what
has been the buggest challenge on the journey? And this question is open to
anyone else who might like to respond.

Hugs
Debbie

kg. I don't want to lose more than about another 5 kg because I have no desire
to be bony.

currently only 2 months into my weight loss journey but so far so good :) My
starting weight was 119kgs and as of last week I was 104kgs which puts me only
4kgs off my first personal target of being 100kgs :)
