I think I'd like to focus on keeping the health I have now instead of reaching for a goal that isn't really mine. Thanks, Pat!

As a long-term (permanent) weight loss veteran, you might need time to get used to the body you've now got. Your body might need to settle in before it releases more weight. See my post on working with your body at www.stoprentingweightloss.com. Also, BMI is not the best indicator, it's just what doctors are using now. There will be something different tomorrow. Many very healthy athletes and people who carry a lot of muscle are "unhealthy" according to BMI. You can have a perfect BMI and be very unhealthy. This is a great post - I think I'll write about MY health indicators in my next blog post! Congrats on 100 lbs. Don't let anyone or anything take it away from you! I have maintained 70+ weight loss for 10 years in March 2010! There's nothing like real change. IMO, the decision-maker is you, not your doctor and not weight watchers.
