    That's one hell of an amazing failure you've got going on. :drinker:

    And I think it's takes amazing strength to realize, "Hey, maybe that goal isn't right for me." :flowerforyou:

    It's like an artist with a painting... the hardest part sometimes is knowing when to say, "This is done."

    Wow! "Failure" looks so good on you!

    Sometimes,we get a number in our head or off a doctor's chart or a BMI calculator, but that does not mean it is the right number for our bodies. I learned this lesson when I was young, way too thin and anorexic looking while in the "normal" "healthy" weight range.

    Now, I'm old and obese and have set a target weight at the high end of "normal". Honestly, though, I think I'll probably feel most comfortable in the middle range of "overweight" but I won't know until I get there.

    I have a question ...
    What have you done to maintain your 7-month loss? I'm sure there must be some lifestyle changes that keep everything in balance.

    Yes, you read that right-- This Success Story is about a "failure"

    I hit my original goal of losing 130 lbs.

    Actually I hit my original goal, then I hit my new goal of losing 135 lbs.

    Actually I hit my original goal, then I hit my new goal, then I hit my New new goal of losing 140 lbs.

    And then I stalled. I regained some; I lost some; I have bounced all around this weight-- I have maintained within a few lbs.

    I tried to make a NEW New new goal of losing 50% of my original body weight (152.5 lbs total), and failed to hit it.

    In failing to hit this random goal I had set for myself, I realized I have already accomplished so much! I started out at 305 lbs at 5'10". I was 25 years old, and I was heading for an early grave. Today I am 167 lbs at 5'10" and 28 years old.

    I am at a healthy weight. I have (basically) maintained this healthy weight for 7 months now.

    I'd say that's a success.
