172 was to be a significant number for me. The first time I lost a lot of weight was in my very early 20s, when I got down to 114. My start weight was 172, I remember it very well. So that I'm back there again.

I try not to remember that at 172 as a startweight, I would have unhesitatingly described myself as a big, fat cow; while having lost 70lbs (actually, 70.1, today I am 171.9!!!), I feel dam' proud of myself and hot.......

that's fantastic!!!! yay!

WHOOOHOOOO!

I'm so proud of everything you've been able to accomplish!

Oh, yeah I remember hating the weight I am now when I was in my 20's. Wish I knew then what I know now! But now I know this is a healthy weight and while I am still trying to lose more, I am not the "cow" I called myself then.

SO happy and excited for you!!!

Haha! I'm glad at that age I didn't own a scale. I measured all success by nothing but a dress size. So I can not make that comparison, especially now with vanity sizing.

Back to a weight you saw in your 20's! Wahoo!

Awesome!! Good job!!

Fantastic, Rosinante! Well done!!!!!

awsome job.


I remember when I thought 145 was "fat" now it's my goal lol

Fantastic! Way to go!

What an awesome milestone!! You are doing great!!! Keep it up

It's amazing how our perspectives can change over the years. Congratulations on making such a big personal milestone!

I've been feeling the same way lately. I'm right about where I was when I got pregnant with my oldest child (and the point at which I started a serious weight loss effort after his birth). I remember feeling like I was a huge, fat, flabby, insert any other negative word you can think of for someone carrying an extra few pounds, cow at that point. Now I feel awesome at this weight! It's weird how our perspectives change, isn't it?
