Once You Got To Goal...

[mylifeinpink 349]

Please, only for those that have gotten to goal......

Once you get there, do you find that you need to lose more, or that you are not satisfied with how you look at goal, and feel you need to lose more?

I am 8lbs away from my first goal. (150) from 254~

I am more dissatisfied with my body right now than I have ever been. I am pretty sure that my final goal will be 120, and not 150 like I first anticipated.

Yes.. I set my first goal to be 130- I still felt so fat, so I set my next goal to 125 I have hit 125 from 214 and I still am not satisfied- guess 120-115 is where I think I should be

I went on maintenance at size 14 and honestly could have been very Ok with that, forever -but I know we tend to gain some back eventually so I decided to get to a smaller size so that if/when that happens I would be at a size I knew I had been OK with, and my body was ok with, so that once I "catch" this happening I will (in hypothesis) be felling Ok still and can amp up my routine, or cut back as needed.

Other factors are that I am still concerned with my knee, and afraid a size 14 will not be enough to keep my type 2 diabetes in remisson. I was diagnosed in full blown remission late Feb/early March.

Looks wise, I do think it would be cool to be a bit leaner, or at least see myself at the size I am at, which I have trouble doing.

Thank you ladies, I appreciate the replies!

I started at size 24, and I am now a size 8 with some smaller 10s still fitting. I always thought I will be so happy at 150.........but at 158, my head is saying "nope". I still feel fat, I still look fat in photos, and I am so short, I seem to be a little ball!
