Well I'm a mesomorph to the core, and have a broad frame, to boot. My shoulders are wider than my husband's, and he is a foot taller than me and not particularly light of frame, either!

I will be pleasantly surprised if I can maintain in the 120 's without a ton of effort, especially since I have neither the interest nor time to dedicate to intense strength training. But a moderate regimen is what I aim for and I look much slimmer than the scale suggests, precisely because I have strength packed in where many other women have fat. I don't want to be skinny fat, and while I know I can slim down big time I won't ever look like a waif, even at 110 pounds, because my bones and musculature wouldn't allow for that. That doesn't mean I can't lose weight and be trim, but I'll never LOOKS delicate with shotput shoulders and childbearing hips. That's just fine, but I couldn't imagine settling where I am right now, seeing how much fat I have left to shed

First off, you've done an amazing job and should be proud of everything you've accomplished. If you feel good at your weight currently, they you can stay there, or you can go one pound at a time like I'm doing.

My original goal was 150. I may even go down to 130 if I'm still unhappy with the shrinking chica in the mirror :P

F.

Can I ask what size you are? I am close to your height and my goal right now is 150. And I'm wondering if that will get me to the size I want to be (6-8)
