Hey Amanda!

150 was NEVER high for me, but I know about numbers that seemed high ending up being where you're shooting for. Our bodies figure out where we should be, I think, and help us get there.

Sounds like you have a good plan in place, so just stick around, keep posting, and get settled.

We do have one Michael Thurmond thread here, but I don't know how active it is:

Welcome aboard! I hope you find lots of support and encouragement here, as I have. Sometimes, when I feel like eating and I know I shouldn't, it helps me to come here and read about some alternative ideas or just to read about other people's struggles, so I know I'm not alone and I know that I can do it! Good luck to you!

Boy do I ever remember . . . . . . all throughought my twenties I weighed 125 and was always trying to get to 110 . . . now, forty years later, I'd be really pleased with 150 and absolutely 'over the moon' about getting to 125.

Anyway AMANDA . . . so glad to have you joining us, chickie.

Welcome!!!

Yes, like you I set my goal weight at 150, when that used to be a weight so high for me that it wasn't even on my radar screen. I nudged my goal down to 149 just cuz that one pound makes it sound so much lighter, lol!

If I make it to 149 (not going to jinx myself by saying "when" instead of "if"), I will see what things look like, and maybe decide to strive for lower.
