Hi Downscale! Hi Kristine!

Go ahead and adjust your goal if you still think you have more to lose. Your goal was just a guess anyway -- now that you are there, you can see whether you need to lose more to get the body you wanted. (Exercise is important, too, of course.) At 5'3, 137 was my starting point for weight loss -- everyone's body is shaped differently and 137 put me in a size 12. I've seen other women celebrate getting into a size 12 at 30 pounds more than that! I couldn't get into a 6 until I hit 115 or so. Only you can decide whether you are where you need to be.

Thanks downscale. I'm in a 5-8 right now depending on the the store. I was planning to shoot for 115 because at my lean body mass now that would give a body fat of 20%, unless of course I gain mass. I think I will just concentrate on building muscle/lowering body fat and upping my carbs. I think/hope my body will know where is right for me.

Speech! Speech! (In the "Success Stories" forum, maybe?

Thanks Kristine. I don't know if I can express as eloquently as those people. I'll write something.
