    My surgeon's goal for me is 170 to be "normal" (not considered in the overweight category), but the more I lose I just feel like wet rat sometimes. LMBO! I wish I could pick and choose WHERE we lose it from. I mean if my neck gets any smaller....and my belly stays the same size....I was pretty evenly distributed with my weight and it's been the same with the loss---it's just my own perception.
    I started out in a size 20-22--depending on how tight, and now I'm pretty consistently in a 14. I'd like like to be in a 12 regardless of the number on the scale.
    I didn't go hard with the weight-bearing exercise b/c I had knee surgery in the past and that's what catapulted my surgery decision. I have walked A TON.
    Good luck. Rock on tall ladies!!!
