    For me it was X number, (middle of healthy BMI chart) but as I got closer and I still have fat to "spare" is not a # anymore, whatever I weigh as long as that chunk of fat is GONE ;)

    Living healthy is a lifestyle change. Simple as that.

    Thanks everyone. I realize that I will have to be vigilant the rest of my life. I have yo yo dieted for the last 50 years (literally, since I was 18 and started my first diet). I will be using MFP to help me with keeping on track. Right now I have 4 lb to go to get to my first goal. In a month I should be there.

    What looked good on me in my 20's and 30's does not look healthy on me now in my 40's.

    The weight i was then made me look healthy and slim, whereas now it makes me look older and gaunt.

    I agree with this. I'm where I was in my mid 20's, excited about losing it, but wishing I looked like I did in my 20's. My doctor was pleased with my loss, but said I could still lose a little so I did. Hovering at 128-130 at 5'41/2.'' I guess I'm done.
