I am in the home stretch and loking forward to getting into maintenance mode. My original goal was to get to 140lbs. Once i got there, i decided to try for 126lbs. Now, I am thinking maybe 120..... but i will wait to i get to 126 then decide. The priority is to be fit, healthy and toned, not 'skinny'.

Here is a pic of me at my heaviest 189lbs (i am 5'1")

last weekend, at 132lbs

It has not been easy but i have actually really enjoyed it, I have a new found love for exercise and i feel better than I have in years!! Now, if i could just be a few inches taller.....

    Congrats on not just hitting your original goal which I am sure seemed a long way off when you started. It sure did for me. Same as you as I am 6 away from a goal that seemed "theoretical" when I started but not as I get close and confident I can set a next goal and achieve that one too. Looking great and enjoy it!

    I lik that goal of feeling fit and healthy without worring about the exact #. Keep it up you look great and forget about the height. Short girls rock!

    Well, Bernie, you were beautiful at your biggest, and you're simply stunning now! Honestly, and truly stunning! I'm so envious of your beautifu hourglass figure and your lovely toned arms! What an inspiration!

    Don't wish yourself any taller - as my dad always says, "You don't get big diamonds!" - you're perfect as you are! Us shorties ROCK!!!
