I think I may be a little different than a lot of the people I've seen on here.  I'm not trying to "gain control of my life", I already have control over it.  I'm not trying to "be a better me" or "be who I should be", my weight doesn't determine that for me.  I'm also not unhappy with my body, it serves me well and love and accept who I am. 

My reasons for looking into weight loss are to ensure that I'm healthy now and in the years to come.  There are a lot of things that I could do without that are associated with being overweight like less energy, mobility limitations, etc.  Those are the things I want to fix.  Frankly, I'm not interested in being average in size.  Ideally I would like to still have some meat on my bones, I think most women just look better like that.  Originally I thought my goal should be 200 lbs but after seeing pictures of other women at 200 lbs, I think that might be a bit too much.  It's been so long since I've been that weight that I forget what size goes with which weight measurement   After seeing some pictures of size 16 women, I think that's a more healthy choice; I'll still have some meat on my bones and will look/feel great.    The good thing about goals is that they can be changed to accommodate for oversights, etc.
