35 pounds lost, feel totally different!

I started my journey at 150 pounds in January (I'm only like 4'10), and now weigh between 114.6 and 115. My goal weight is somewhere between 100 and 110 pounds. I've lost over 23% of my body weight & 35 pounds, went from a BMI of 31 to a BMI of 23 and I couldn't feel better!
I have so much more energy now, don't require as much sleep to feel rested, and I just feel like a totally different person. It's amazing to be able to climb flights of stairs without getting winded. I hated being considered obese, and even though I didn't see myself as obese and nobody else did either, I knew that my weight was way above where it needed to be for my height & age...and that if I kept up my habits, it would only get worse.
Not having clothing issues and the compliments are great too, but nothing compares to the self-confidence I have now. Plus, I feel absolutely wonderful!
How many pounds had you lost when you started feeling better? If you haven't quite gotten there yet, what is your magical number?

Congrats on the weight lost, and more importantly, feeling much better! I just joined MFP today, after realizing that I'm out of control on my health. I would like to lose about 70 pounds. I'm excited to see how long it will take me to "start feeling better". Again, congrats!
