I wouldn't be that unhappy if she stayed at 145. In fact, I'd be fine with that. But the way she's eating now -- she cleans my plate for christ sakes AFTER she licks hers clean -- means that 145 is just a starting point. In 6 more months she'll be at 175.. in a year, over 200.. Then depression will kick in and she'll start eating for comfort. Woo hoo! Can't wait to see the results of that.

Besides, your wifes' 145 might be a large part muscle. Her body fat % might still be in the high 20's to mid 30's. Currently the gf's is in the high 40's. She's allowed herself to become nothing but fat and bone. Walking up a flight of 10 stairs winds her. Two weeks ago, we went on a bike ride at a leisurely 10 mph pace, and after less than 3 miles she had to pull over and vomit in the grass. I had to ride home and come pick her up in a car. She's exhausted after a 1 mile walk around the neighborhood. Oh, and did I mention that she's 33 years old!
