I've lost 24 pounds since mid-December, and am planning to lose 8 or 9 more because even though my BMI is normal now, the fat that I DO have is right around my midsection. Since my sister had a heart attack at age 47 I'm considered a bit higher risk than average for heart disease, so I don't need to have the extra risk factor of belly fat. I've noticed that the family members who are "concerned" that I'm losing too much or not eating enough at meals tend to be unhappy with their own weight right now. I've got a couple of friends who have been on this weight loss journey with me, though, and they think I look just fine. And last week my doctor told me I was doing great. He knows that I'm not really eating that much less, I'm just eating better, less processed, food.
