    I never ever want to see my number start with a 3. I've been over 300 for at least 18 years and I really want to see the 100's.

    Every time I hit a 10 lb milestone, I never wanna go back. Like when I hit 169, I vowed never to see 170 again. Then never 160, or 150...just last week, I hit 139 lbs on my scale for the first time since before my son was born (he's almost 6!) and I never wanna be in the 140s again (you know, unless I'm like super pregnant or something, but not under normal life circumstances).

    That may earn me a lot of "what do you know about being fat" or "I'd kill to be in the 140s" comments, but that's my reality. I'm 5'3" with a very small frame, and I never wanna let myself treat my body badly enough that I become overweight again.
    I have planned something for each 10 lb.increment. Something to mark it with and to remember it by. For example when I got under 250, I remarked that I was closer to 200 than 300.

    I guess 250 is the number I don't want to repeat, but I don't want to gain weight again.

    If I ever get under 160 lbs. I better have a terminal illness! When I see men taller than me weighing less than 160 lbs I want to kick them in the face!

    Nothing over 130, ever again. And I was up over 170 at one point, definitely never want to be there again. As a shortie that was obese and I had a lot of health problems that are gone now.

    132kg/291lb! I can't believe I even allowed myself to get that big.

    I haven't gotten there yet...but I want to be below 150. I haven't been that low in 20 years. Sigh. I am going to get there. And hopefully even lower.

    Although I don't base my life off of a little number displayed to me on a screen, I don't want to see anything higher than around 120-125. I've worked too hard to start slipping back. It's just not an option.

    I'm barely started on my journey, but when I hit 200, I intend to start weight training and maintaining the weight. Reduce the fat and gain the muscle. Maybe after I bulk on the muscle I'll go into a calorie deficit and improve my fat %. If I can be a XL with 10% body fat, I'll be my happiest. That aside, I think 200lb will be my max limit when I get there.

    I never want to see 180 ever again. I run from it. I run from type 2 diabetes. I run to inspire. I run to live!

    This is exactly how I feel! I'm in the 240's now and once I hit the 30's I never want to see 40's again! :)

    Nothing over 135 again! Unless pregnant of course :) Though once I am steadily in the 120's, nothing in the 130's again!

    Anything in the 170's (hell it can even be 179.9) I haven't seen that range in 6 years.

    EDIT: Herp, I can't read. I NEVER want to see 195 again. That was my starting weight, and while not my all-time high, that was when I became accountable for my weight and health.

    Any number starting with a 3. I was over 300 pounds for too long (315 was my highest) and I'm now down to 286. So I'm never going back to where I started. Someday I hope to not see a 2 as the first number either.
