Hi Annette,
I checked your profile and you and I are both the exact height, and close in age(I'm 33). My goal weight is 145. I am less than 10 pounds from it and I feel pretty great. I am doing some fine tuning with weights and treadmill, which I will do forever! I love my new energy. I would love to be 135 but I feel it would be too hard to maintain. Maybe 140, but for now I'm o,k with 145. I hope you forgive yourself for the "binges". I do this too on occasion and find I am stronger in my resolve when I go on track. The trick is, to catch it early. 7 lbs is probably 5 of water anyhow! Hang in there and get back on the LC Train!!!
