Instead, I decided to focus on getting to a "happy place" where I could enjoy life, including its food forms, and be healthy. Apparently, that's at around the 150-160 mark. :)Cammy@TippyToeDiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547787031318303521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840274161119126060.post-66347367144772557552010-02-09T11:27:36.145-08:002010-02-09T11:27:36.145-08:00A really thought-inspiring post!

I think it is just a matter of finding out what works for you, and that will probably be different than what works for someone else, etc. As long is it is something doable forever, then that is okay!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781375451012608773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840274161119126060.post-21915611144089189052010-02-09T08:39:58.595-08:002010-02-09T08:39:58.595-08:00It looks like your URL got added to the original. ...It looks like your URL got added to the original.

But I've lost about 7 pounds to get there. I thought that considering my age and how long it's been since I've been anything like slender, that 160 was a reasonable goal. Sure, I'd love to weigh what I did in my 20s (125 - 130), but I can't even wrap my head around what I would have to do to get there.<br /><br />But, as you say, it's hard to know what my body will do. And I'm definitely a work in progress these days.<br /><br />Since the beginning of the year, I've cut out the diet sodas, except for a few restaurant servings. Oof, that's been tough. I miss my shiny cold cans of bitter bubbly caffeine!KathyRhttp://olderbetter.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840274161119126060.post-37232032073082807692010-02-08T22:37:23.472-08:002010-02-08T22:37:23.472-08:00Well, I thought 115 (I'm not quite 5 ft. 2), b...Well, I thought 115 (I'm not quite 5 ft. 2), but I'm at 129-130, and have been for a month and not been able to budge an ounce lower. Perhaps at 58, this is as low as I'm supposed to be. But my diet isn't a struggle, so I'm sticking with it a while longer. Time will tell. :)<br /><br />Oh, and the link doesn't work. :(<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840274161119126060.post-26019163033514875172010-02-08T21:47:05.604-08:002010-02-08T21:47:05.604-08:00First, what is right for one is not always right f...First, what is right for one is not always right for another, and, second, what is right for one right now probably won't be right forever.

I know I'm willing to work hard to keep losing, but I have no idea what any number I reach from here on out is going to look like. And I have no idea what number will be on the scale when I look in the mirror and realize I'm content. This is the smallest I've ever been as an adult... its kind of like entering a whole new world... not that I'm complaining... but its definitely something to ponder...Julie, The Accidental Fat Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14885370142080678937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840274161119126060.post-42936948344135583802010-02-08T20:11:37.272-08:002010-02-08T20:11:37.272-08:00I hit 138 about three years ago, but that was an u...I hit 138 about three years ago, but that was an unsustainable weight for me. I had to run many miles per week, ached all the time, and had to watch every morsel. Not worth it. I'd like to weigh 145-148, but I seem to be unwilling to do the work to get me down from 152ish. <br /><br />And I so need to get off the diet soda - I did drink water TWICE today so that's something, right?Roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440676304336222503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840274161119126060.post-52861194081866306122010-02-08T19:35:27.332-08:002010-02-08T19:35:27.332-08:00Some great insight here.

I might be happy and content when I hit 150...or 180? who knows. Thanks for the enlightening post - it's definitely food for thought.josiehttp://35andshrinking.comnoreply@blogger.com
