I always thought your goal was too low for a woman with significant
bones and muscle mass, (like me), but Imay have to set my goal lower
yet. My new lean body mass measurement suggested I might have to put
164 as my goal. (I really, really hate how my "perfect" goal weight is
perpetually ten pounds away, where the ten pounds in question are
sitting on my butt and thighs.)

It's funny how that works. I am also large boned, and still have a
good bit of muscle, but unfortunately it goes down as the fat does.
I'd never have thought I wanted to be this low, but it just seemed
right. I'm now thinking I don't really want to go back up to 145-150,
but haven't officially changed that as my goal range. It wouldn't
break my heart to be in that range, certainly.

average is 139. It may well be up after last night's dinner, but I
don't know that I'm likely to make it to the gym today, which is where
I weigh myself, so that's it for now.)

I think it may be too low as well. I initially picked it because all my life
my trim/thin sister has been 135-140(how's that for a mental hang-up?) and I
have used her as a gauge since I can remember. I think for me its just a #
to work towards. When I get to what I feel is a combo of healthy, trim,
stronger and more attractive weight I may stop there and re evaluate things.
Rather its 160 or 140 or what-have-you. I may look like **** at 140 and want
to maintain at a higher weight, don't know yet. I am getting impatient
though. I do know that much. Right now my immediate goal is to get past that
100lb mark of lb's lost.

On another note I got my treadmill on Friday and I am increasing my walks by
a 1/4 mile a day until I reach 7 - I have been doing 5-6 depending on the
weather. So now since cooler months are coming and I can get far more time
in walking if I am at home maybe I can increase my losing pace. We'll see

Again, congrats on the whoosh, I know you were feeling a little stalled
recently.
