Default Update & a Lifetime Question????

Congratulations, Spoons, on losing those 20 pounds. I certainly would set a WW
goal & then keep losing to reach your own personal goal - so you don't have to
continue paying.

Hi all,

How's everyone doing? I hope all is well. I lost 10 lbs by doing WW's on
my own with all your help & support then in May I joined WW's and as of
Saturday I lost another 10 lbs and received my first 10 lbs ribbon. I'm so
happy & proud of myself for losing the 20 lbs. I have 15 lbs left to go
before I reach my personal goal.

WW's weight range for my age & height:
I'm 34 years old & 5'7" so my range is 153 lbs which also happens to be my
10%.
My question is this. In the eyes of WW's I've only lost 10 lbs so I haven't
reached my 10% yet I have 5 more lbs to go before I reach that. Should I
just wait & lose the 5 lbs and then tell them that 153 lbs is my goal. That
way I hit my 10% target and reach goal? I want to start my 6 weeks of
maintenance phase so I can reach "Lifetime" and then stop paying, but I hope
to not maintain & still keep losing to try and get to my own personal goal
of 140 lbs.
What do you all think? Is this wrong for me to do?
