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!
