159 is my happy weight.  That is 6 pounds higher than my ideal weight of 153 calculated at the Dr.'s office.  I am currently at my ideal weight so I guess that's a good thing.  Thanks for posting this Sue.  I sure hope I get to meet you someday!

Congrats on being at your ideal weight!   I guess the main thing is that you're HAPPY with your weight loss!

I sorta think that 'set point' (see the article before this one..)--  where your body decides what weight you should be--does play a part of what number you ultimately end up at.  I think of Linda Anne and others who lose beyond what the medical profession deems 'ideal'.  I think their bodies stabilize at the weight they oughta be.

((And correct me if I am wrong, please, Linda Anne and Sandie!))

I would like to  meet you also, Bonnie!

Have a good weekend!

I got 160, I think I did it right.

I honestly, can't imagine ever, ever, ever weighing 160. I guess also coming from a starting weight of 397, that just seems really untainable and a goal I honestly don't think I would ever strive for. I know many people have lost  100's of pounds, but I just can't imagine. But you never know, I can't imagine being under 300 pounds and at 3 months old I am 16 pounds away from that. Maybe as the weight comes off 160 would seem more realistic.

This is REALLY INTERESTING!   My "happy weight" calculated out to 174.  I think I'll be GIDDY once I go below 200!  My random number to shoot for has been 185, but even that seems a bit unrealistic for me right now...

I wonder if this takes into consideration the denser bones of the formerly fat, as well as the excess skin?  I'd guess not...   which might make my 185 just about right!
