This challenge has really opened my eyes and taught me a lot about myself and my goals. I have learned great food choices, exercise tips, worked though scale (and esteem) issues and tons of other valuable knowledge that I know I can implement into my next life phase of weight maintenance.

Thank you ALL so much for your support, motivation, inspiration, and friendship! Thanks also to our experts here for all of your help. I know with all your tips I will be a success!

I have decided that 139/140 is my goal weight. I have been struggling with this for a while now and have come to the conclusion that I am in my healthy range, I am happy with myself, I am confident and feel great. What more could I want? The scale is not my dictator any more ;)  :) and some *magic* number really isn't. It is more important how I feel inside and out, and how I look. I am the only one who can be happy with me, and I really am now. So, thank you all for helping me see this!

YOU ALL ROCK, BIG TIME!!! :)  :)

What a great decision!  You should be so proud of yourself.  Losing 69 lbs is no small thing (no pun intended), and really why worry about another 4 lbs?  I bet some days you will see 135 on the scale, but you are in a great, healthy weight range.

Congratulations!

 

When I think back to all the weights I have experienced, I felt good at 135, I felt good at 150, I even felt pretty good at 165 (although it was a bit over the healthy weight range for my height).

Thank you. I feel at peace now, so I know it is right for me. I was really struggling with it, so the weight off my shoulders (ooooh, at least 4 pounds, eh?) ;) feels really good right now. :)

Thanks again for your kind words!
