Goal weight

I asked him what my goal weight should be and he said what do you want it to be I said 140. He said how tall are you I said 5 5 he said 155 to 160 you don't want to look sickly. About 4 years ago I got down to 160 and that is not where I wanted to be so I am going for 140.

Good for you. Go for it.

Don't think of it as a number, but as a place you feel healthy and happy in your skin. I would also take 100% advantage of your honeymoon phase. It doesn't last forever. I went below goal and bounced back up some. I am glad I went down that far.

I am three years out and trying to lose back to my personal goal weight. I like 155 (at 5'8") on me better than 169. I am down to 163 after upping the exercise and going really low carb.  I could be happy at 169 - but my pants are too tight. Mind boggling to me how when I was a 22/24 I could gain and lose 20-25 pounds without changing sizes but the difference at smaller sizes is 5-7 pounds in my experience!
