I weigh 161 now and feel thin. If I don't lose another pound I am thankful and blessed.

We are about the same weight and BMI, and I also feel thin! I've struggled with the number, but people say I look thin, so I'm going with that, lol. It is thin considering where I came from, and I too, feel blessed. I have a lot of nice winter size 10 clothes, because I thought this might be it for me, but in the last week or so the weight seems to be coming off again. I think I'm going to have some plastics done, so I might end up in an 8 or even a 6 (can't even imagine that!) but even if I don't, I'm thrilled.

I never thought clothes would be such a big deal to me. I have a new rule - I'm never going to wear another ugly shirt! I am very particular, and look for things that are stylish, fitted, and somewhat unique. Like you said in your original post, everywhere I go, I'm dressed well. I do wear athletic clothes sometimes, and even those are stylish looking!

I don't think it's really a vanity thing - I think it's more of a motivator on a daily basis to stay on track. I like the way I look and feel, and don't ever want to lose what I worked so hard to achieve. I have to work hard on a daily basis to keep it, because it could be gone in no time if I let it.

MichiganChic, this reminded me of the big, ugly flowered shirts still hanging in my closet. I have to get them gone.... You are right, it is not about vanity, it is just about feeling good about ourselves. Finally!
