Just chiming in with what everyone else said -- just sheer weight loss is not a great marker of physical health (people can lose lots of weight and be v unhealthy, or not lose weight and still be healthy). I think the questions about having more energy and insurance charts being off are great. Also, in the various weight loss plans I've been in, the emphasis was not on weighing yourself -- we were encouraged to do that maybe once a week, and chart it -- but whether or not you were losing inches and going down in clothes sizes (altho that last isn't a great marker since American sizes, esp for women, aren't standardized). Body fat percentages, cholesterol levels, endurance levels &c are all better indicators of health, IMHO, than how much weight someone's lost.
