npaglia - I'd love to make it to 149 by 8/26/2011 (1 year exactly from my starting date), but since I haven't been in that weight range since elementary school, I have no real concept of my body at that weight, or what kind of plateaus I can expect as I approach it. I may find that I'm happy at a higher weight, but 149 is near the high end of a "normal" BMI and a nice round 100 pound loss
Honestly, my real goal is to be able to run for 40 minutes consecutively. In late June, I'm moving to Washingon DC for a year, and I really want to run around the national mall and the other gorgeous monuments on a nearly daily basis. That type of goal is so much more concrete to me than a weight I've never known as an adult ~
