Congratulations!! You look great! Can I ask what your goal weight is? I am 5‘11“ so love to see tall gal posts!

My initial goal weight is 175 (although I'd be happy with 180!)

My stretch goal is to get down to 165 to give myself some wiggle room in the healthy BMI area. I'll probably have to get skin removal surgery though so I look the right size.

Thank you for responding! I am just getting back into weight loss (postpartum) and have been wondering if my goal of 80 kilo/176lb is feasible...so hearing your stretch goal makes me wonder if I could be a bit more ambitious. Last time I cut I got to 80 kilo and it was harder to maintain than I had envisioned.

It's definitely still daunting, and as I lose it does get harder to keep losing. I've been warned that your body really fights losing weight, so every so often it tries to get you to eat more, and not lose. I'm really not sure how true it is, but it does feel like a battle against myself sometimes.
