I realized I don't ever remember being my goal weight

    The last weight I really remember is where I'm at now, and I still have 20+lbs to go to get to my goal weight, which I have no knowledge of.

    I only ever remember being/feeling fat... even when struggled with anorexia a bit in HS/early college. The only way I can see my body is with a belly hangover and plenty of extra on my upper thighs... I still have no vision of what these last 20 or so lbs will do to change that.

    It's a crazy feeling! I actually had a similar feeling not that long ago. I'm still not at my GW but that's because I've adjusted it down twice. I was able to lose way more than I thought I could!!! Currently, I am 14lbs lighter than I remember myself ever being in high school. Even when I was a 6th grader I was still 15+ lbs heavier and probably 4 inches shorter! It's definitely an amazing feeling and I'm glad you're on the journey to get to your "moment"!

    It's also nice now because I don't find myself comparing my body to others now. I don't feel like I have to hide my body anymore and it's a fabulous feeling!!!

    Same with me!! I don't remember the in between. I remember I was 125-130 when I was 18-19 and then the next thing I remember I was 150 at 21. But I didn't own a scale at the time. Now I am a freak about weighing myself everyday! lol

    My current goal weight is 150 but once I get there I might just want to go lower. I was 130 when I got pregnant at 19 and weighed 150 when I had my daughter. Five years later when I got pregnant with my son I weighed 145. After a very unhappy marriage and nasty divorce I got up to 205. After my divorce, being single and finally meeting Mr. Right I got down to 168 which I thought I looked GREAT!!! Well fast forward nine years of being truly happy and but having my gall bladder out and a hysterectomy and I was at my highest weight ever 212. I actually might have been more but I stopped weighing myself. I have no idea what 150 will look like on me. I am excited, scared and determined all at the same time. Who knows maybe I will get to that pre-pregnancy high school weight of 130!!

    Like many people on here, I've alway been overweight for as long as I can remember, so all through high school and what I can remember of primary school but I never used to weigh myself, just knew I was fat. So I've never been a healthy weight nor so when I finally reach my GW it will be like a new person has been born, not that ive never seen, nor thought I would ever see.

    When I finally reach my goal im not sure how I will look or how I will reacted when I get there beacause ive never been there. Its going to be a massive phyiscal and psycological shock to me, I can't wait!
