And I'm finally happy to admit that I have. I've had my ticker on 140 since I started on MFP, and being "stuck" at 150 the last 6 months was more of my body telling me that I'm at my goal weight! I'm healthy, I'm happy, I'm in the best shape of my life, and my body has been telling me that for months. So. I'm trying to take the focus away from trying to get down to 140 when my body is saying that it likes 150. And it's not for lack of trying to get it to 140, I've done everything under the sun...

Except finally accepting that 150 might really be my goal. So, I'm making it official. No more letting the scale dictate my success. I've lost 65 lbs, I've kept it off for the last 6 months, and I'm happy to have gotten to this point.

Anything past 150 is bonus pounds at this point. I'm still gonna kick butt and keep healthy goals in mind, but the number on the scale isn't one of them (aside from not having it go up of course!).

Here's my most recent blog that explains this whole revelation in detail: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/00trayn/view/original-vs-realistic-goal-weights-110083

    Good for you! You're the second person I've seen break free of the scale on here and decide that where they are is happy and healthy. Way to go on the awesome loss!
