Ritzy, there is no need whatsoever to apologize. Anyone and everyone can start a thread anytime they like.
And congrats to both you and Torister on the great weigh-ins.
I am down 3 lbs since last Monday. That brings me to 138. I have taken my goal weight down from my profile.
These last 3 lbs have brought upon a big change in my body. This weekend all my new sized small clothing was swimming on me. Sloppy and really not nice looking. My skirts are swimming on me too. I am wearing mostly size 4's now, some 6's though. I wear size 5 junior pants, 2 different pairs of them in fact. I have lost all of my curves, backside is practically flat as a pancake, hips are totally and completely gone, thighs are good - nice space between the 2 of them, boobs - what boobs? I am extremely boney looking up on top, my neck, chest and shoulder area. My face is beginning to get sickly looking. I'm having almost as difficult a time shopping now (well not really ) as I did before trying to find clothing small enough to fit me. The point I'm trying to make is I just don't know if I want to lose any more weight or if I do how much. So I am going to take the next few weeks and see where I go with my weightloss. This is a surprise to me, because I thought I might have to go lower to get "the look" and size I was after. Because now that it comes down to it, it's NOT about the number, for me anyway. I think I may have achieved what I first set out to back in September.

Robin,
I think you are amazing, and I also think you have lost enough to be extremely proud. I don't always agree with the #s out there for proper body weight. Mine is 150 and under, I was 150 for a while when I was 17 and felt horrible, hungry all the time, tired from not eating enough, and I was pale looking. So my goal is 17lbs above my healthy weight( according to the charts), and I will be happy to get there.
whatever you choose to do Robin , Thank you for being an inspiration for those of us just beginning, you make it seem possible.

You have to stop where you think it's best for you. My original goal was 245 and made that once but I also know that it was not where I wanted to be. So I made it 225 and proceeded to go up 35. That was stupid but I'm working on that now. I don't know if 225 will be my stopping point or not. I would really like to be a size 38 waist so I may let that be the judge. I will just have see when I get there. At 245 I am a 42 waist.
So anyway don't go too low just to get a number. It sounds like you already realize that's not the way to go. Just stop wherever you are good with yourself.
That's good that you recognize that you might be where you need to be, Robin. I always wondered if, when you lose weight like you have, it would be possible to be "addicted" to the weight loss and then take it past the healthy point. You obviously don't have that problem!! Good for you!
Now, I have to report a gain of a pound. I have been off track for a couple of weeks, so I'm not too surprised. I'll be getting that back off and then some!
Ok...this is the one place where I can be 100% honest and accountable about my weight loss battle...I've gained 2.8 pounds this week. But, I'm not giving up!
I must saying this whole waiting to weigh in is stressful, but it's better then seeing the weight going up and down when i weigh myself everyday twice a day...
So after working out 3x lastweek, i have lost 2.5 pounds!!!!!!!

Yes Laura I do weigh in but not until Friday. For those who gained keep your chin up and keep trying. It's a life long journey and there will be ups and downs.
