I'm also aiming for 155... and we're right about the same height. I am also taunted by healthy BMI, as well as friends who say "you don't have a big frame. Go for 140!" I think I am just dense. The last time I weighed 155 was in high school, and I was a solid 6 and fit into some 4's. Personally, I don't think I was very healthy at that weight. But, this time around, we'll see!
My highest weight was around 218... I was 212.5 this time last year, then lost some doing Weight Watchers and being a little more active. That took me 8 months, then I was down to 204.5. That's when I discovered IP. Basically, I'm trying to lose 50lbs on the nose from my IP start weight, but 58 pounds since this time last year.
I'm only at 177 now, so I can't tell you what I'll feel like at 170 (where you are). I DO know that I was 172 when I was married over 5 years ago, and I felt good. I definitely had another 10lbs that I thought I could lose, but didn't feel "fat". I recall wearing size 10. Hopefully that is how you feel now.
I would love to march to the finish line with you. I'm going to be a few weeks behind you, but that means I can admire you from behind, right??? <Please laugh>... So, officially I am 22lbs to goal but hopefully you'll bend the rules a tiny bit. I'll do my best to catch up!
I too am really looking forward to maintenance and being able to share some red wine with hubby, in a fantastic little outfit! And I want his friends to comment on his "hottie wife." Ha ha ha...
I think you had asked about an electronic food diary. I thought I had deleted mine, so never responded. Then I found it on a tab of my food inventory planner... Here it is:
