My goal is 170 which would make me skinny but still very curvy which is what I like about myself and my husband likes too. If I get there and think that I could lose more weight, it would be 10 more at the most. I've never had a desire to be super skinny though. I just want to be healthy and comfortable in my own skin.

i used to weigh 114 and was a size 0 (i am 5 6.5")- and it was so hard and awful to maintain. i can't go back there, even if i wanted to - my hope is to get to 130...which for me is a weight i feel great at, and feel slim but not skinny. but i am having a really hard time getting to 130 even (because i love food and do not want to be deprived at all)- and so now i am thinking i may shoot for 145 or 150 and just live and love my life at that weight...a little curves never hurt anyone.

I'm not aiming for slim or skinny. At 190 I'd be about a size 14. The average woman is a size 14. JUST MAKE ME AVERAGE!!! It took me a long time to begin to change my ways and lose weight because I thought if I don't end up looking like a lingerie model why bother. I finally realized I don't have to be skinny to be healthy. Skinny does not equal health.

Take your weight down to 165-175.
I don't think you'll have any rolls at that weight.
When I weighed 175 my friends said I did not need to lose weight. I am 5'7.

Of course I need to go down to 135 to be slim.
At the rate I'm going it will be 2 years to get down to 135. ~~~~ :snail:
(I don't want flabby skin, so I am taking it real slow. If I see flabby skin, I will stay at 175 until it shrinks to fit.)


So 175 is my goal for now.
I'll go lower if I see no flab at that point.

:goodluck:
