shape and goal weight

:confused:I have posted about this before, but I am really having a hardtime now. I keep hearing "oh you look great, you aren't going to lose anymore are you?

I am at 186 most of the time. Now every pound I lose someone notices. How do you know "when you are there". My doc told me to choice a goal for myself. But for some reason I can't seem to do it. I don't think I will ever get there.... even tho I am in the mirror. I am scared. :lol:

I am right there with you Mary Jo! It seems so arbitrary to just pick a number. When I was size 26, I thought I would aim for a 14-but now that I am 16 I really don't know. I set up my ticker for 150, but that was just a random round number and the lowest I would be in 25 years. I feel like I am just guessing here. Any advice for Mary Jo and me?

I dont know. I'm well within a healthy weight range for me but I'm having difficulty deciding whether the remaining figure problems/flab/cellulite are par for the course for a 40 year old who's had 3 babies or whether I really should try to lose another 6 or 7 kg and get to the bottom of my healthy weight range. I suspect there's middle ground there. I'm a fairly thin build, I could easily be lighter than I am and not be underweight. I still have a healthy level of cushioning. But is it going to turn me into Elle McPherson? Not a hope in hell.

So I'll probably do a mixture, try to lose another couple of kg's, get my boobs lifted and live with the lumpy thighs.
