Hi Sandy, you are right, a loss is a loss and it all adds up.
And you know what....we DID look good in our 20's!! But you are right, I guess the weight was just distributed differently. I am 57 and I don't want a bunch of wrinkles to suddenly show up if I am too skinny. I think 145 is a good weight for my goal. And you know if you are at 150 for a while and decide to drop a few more then maybe your body would have been stable for a bit and the new loss would not change you too much, if you only dropped say 5-10lbs at most.
For me, I have been hovering around 191 - 192. Today I am 192.1 because I drank a lot last night. I expect next week to be in the 180's. I'll celebrate when I get to it of course. I am now actually walking on my treadmill and supplementing with the stationary bike. I have to go slow due to my back but really it seems fine. I am going to walk tonight. I have noticed now I am going up the stairs with a lot more energy. I told DH that I felt like I was "bounding" up the stairs!
Ok well if anyone shows up today I hope you have been having some great successes and also a great day!!
