Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!! LOL! Split the difference! Why didn't I think of that?

And yet...I'm going to wait until 145 because you're all right. That's what I will be satisfied with.

And my shelves? I can't believe you remember that! Yes, they're adorned. Not well...but they're adorned. I have exactly one item on each shelf.

Kewl, You one shelf wonder I didn't think you'd be a pack rat with clutter 'specially after having nuthin!

omg i could get taller???!!!!!!!! i just measured my height a couple of days ago, really hoping that i was at least 5'4.5 noooooo i was exactly 64 inches..that can just add to my mental list of inspiration, and if it doesn't happen..i will have weight off and not really care

Oh my, you've given me hope too, I'm 5' 3.5" - maybe I could get to 5' 4.5"!! Anyways I agree with everyone else, sounds like you want the 145! And you'll be there in no time, can't wait to celebrate with you!

From the thread that led me to measure my height I can tell you it doesn't happen to all of us, but several of us did report gaining about an an inch. I was pretty sure I was 5'4" in high school and then when I measured in at the doctor's office as 5'3.5" I figured I'd either shrunk or was never really 5'4". But this time, I had two different nurses in two different school buildings measure and re-measure me and I am 5'4.5".

I grew slightly over two (2) feet by eating too much!!

That is if you measure the growth around my waist. LOL

On a more serious side it sounds to me like you answered your own question when you said: "My head is not going to be content with 147"

Awsome job on your weight loss, congratulations!!
