  14. Onderland...I have arrived! It has been 17 years since I weighed under 200. I feel so good.

  15. So I have decided to change my final goal to 165 instead of 150, I am 5'8" and I don't think I would look right at 150 lbs, I think I would be way too skinny? I have a sister that is only 5'3" if even that, and she bounces from 155-160 and she is SKINNY, somedays I think she looks too skinny and she and I look a lot alike, except I am taller? So I just feel for my height I don't want to look sickly skinny? So 165 sounds like a perfect size for me?

    1. Bandista

      Bandista

      Me neither! I am down from 18 Lee long jeans to 12 in same brand, ready for tens. Cannot imagine being an eight but certainly no smaller. I look forward to seeing what the seventies feel like then taking it from there. Good that we know it's not about the number. You are doing great!

      I'm starting to wonder about this, too -- I used to be 5'7" now half inch shorter but still tall person, big-boned, etc. Goal was 148 but now in the eighties I'm thinking thirty or forty pounds off would be too much. Guess we will know when we get there? I am also thinking 165 might be "right-size" for me.

  22. I've been so stressed out since last night worrying about my friends and neighbors. Devastation all around. Struggling with eating today bc my band is so tight. Might need a small unfill.
