You know Tricia, I am in a very similar place. I gave myself a loooong time to get to goal. Started October 2nd at 160lb and set my desired goal to be 125lb by May 6th (my birthday). I've since adjusted my goal to 130 (125 wouldn't be good for me) and there's no chance of getting there by next week.

But, you know what? I'm okay with that. I haven't felt deprived. I feel good. There are so many benefits. And like the title of a great thread in the Best Of section of this forum says, "Do you really expect your progress to be all losses?"

At about 140, I am happy, healthy and strong. I hope to make my goal one day, but time is not a factor in optimal health, is it? My focus now is going to be getting fit, toning up, and continuing to eat the best I know how.

We should be very happy. Success is not about a number. It is about feeling good, doing the right things for your particular vessel, and having a good attitude.
