Week 74 WI: 145 lbs
Weight change since WI: -1.8 lbs
Total weight change to date: -87 lbs

I've finally broken through the impasse of the last couple of months.
Today I reached my WW goal weight of 145, the top end of the range for
my height and age. I think I'm in a state of shock.

Ww Online immediately added 4 more points to get me started on
Maintenance. I thought once I got to goal, the online tool would let me
set my own daily points. So far, that isn't the case. I may need to
spend more time on the site to figure it out.

Anyway, I don't think I'm really done with the weight loss part. My BMI
is still in excess of 25, and I'm still carrying quite a bit of weight
around my middle that's more than loose skin. But my ultimate personal
goal? I honestly don't know. I've got mini-goals set down to 126. More
than anything I want to be at a weight I can comfortably and
realistically maintain (within 2 lbs).

For now, I'm going to focus on reaching my next mini-goal of 142.

It's the best day of my life!

week 74: 232/145/WW goal 145/personal goal ?
next mini-goal: 142 (90 lbs total loss)
started WW 22-Feb-2003 | 10% target: 1-May-2003
5'4" | 50 | F

Since I'm not attending meetings, I don't think the 6-week to lifetime
thing applies to me.

Actually, I'm still in a quandary about where to set my personal goal.
This week I'm trying to hold steady at 145 and not go up, although I'm
not at all confident I'll be that lucky only 2 days from WI.

I don't attend meeting either, but I figured I could still have the *rule* apply
if I wanted to. g And why not? We followed all the other guidelines, so why
not this one? Go ahead and give yourself permission to consider yourself a
lifetime member. You certainly deserve it, regardless as to what ww venue you
accomplished this achievement through.
