For me it's 160 because that's what I weighed when I found out I was pregnant, as you already know. I don't blame you for waking hubby up, and it sounds like he's super supportive of you, so that's awesome. I can't wait to have that moment myself. PS I hope it's ok that I linked to you on my blog. .-= Josie´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.35andshrinking.com/2009/10/14/my-inspiration-picture/" rel="nofollow">My Inspiration Picture</a> =-.

Suddenly, I felt "skinny" inside and my body started changing. :) that actually happened just last week too!! AAHAHAHA. Since then my smallest sized pants are now baggy on me. POOHAHAHHAA... well i'm also sick so I havne't had an appetite. But truly it was after my emotions calmed down that my body calmed down. Your blog is so inspirational, so sympathetic, so full of compassion and encouragement. I hope you keep on with this blog! :) You are blessing so many people. God bless!!

I weighed around 160 in this picture which was my smallest weight as an adult. 160 is also the one major milestone I am really looking forward to achieving. I remember how happy I was to have gotten down to 160 after losing around 30 lbs, and then I got pregnant and never did get back down to that weight. I just kept getting bigger and bigger. Like Robin, I always thought I was fat, even when I really wasn’t. Earlier tonight I was looking through some of my old diaries from when I was 11, 12, and 13 and I couldn’t believe how many times I wrote that I needed to lose weight, or that I was starting a diet, or more emotional things, like how I was teased for my weight, or how little I thought about myself because of my weight. (More on that in a future post) It’s always been an issue for me, even when it shouldn’t have been. So that’s why in my goals I say I want to reach 135 ultimately, but 160 is that magical number for me. The number that will get me giddy as a school girl. The number that will make me want to jump up and down. [...] [...] This photo was taken around 94/95 right before I found out I was pregnant with my first child.

You have done an amazing job, and I agree - let's not see the 200's again. I know I don't want to either. @Downsizing Doc - You will make it! Wow, I didn't realize you had run a marathon. What an accomplishment. @MamaBear – Congratulations on the size 10 jeans!! You have done an amazing job, and I agree – let’s not see the 200′s again. I know I don’t want to either.

You can do it this time because you are really working on a lifestyle change for life. I know you want it bad - and I want you to succeed. @Lance - Thank you very much. I'm glad you don't worry about the scale anymore. That means you are right where you want to be. I still weigh every day. Personal choice to be sure! @MackAttack – I didn’t have an exact goal either!

When I got back up to 200 in January this year, I was not happy and that got me remotivated. I don't ever want to see it again! My other huge day was fitting into size 10 nonstretch jeans.
