    Congratulations! That must be such a wonderful feeling. I can completely relate to your story. I was also 160 in high school and thought I should weigh much less. After getting to 224 by the end of college, I would be ecstatic to weigh 160 again. I am currently at 188 and still hold 160 as my goal. Isn't funny how our perspective changes?

    Me too!

    I'm 5'9 and in high school when I was around 150 I thought I was so. big. When I graduated college at 225 now THAT was big. I'm at 186 now with my first goal at 175. I haven't set my second goal yet but I'd love to be in the 160s.

    Thanks for the extra motivation boost!

    You look fabulous. And all you wonderful looking women in the 160's-70's are making me re-evaluate my own goal because if I can look as good as you do at that weight, then I'll be very happy there.

    :flowerforyou: :smile: Great job! My favorite thing you said, was you did by old fashioned diet and exercise! If only people could grasp that. Hard work and patience pays off and you have shown that! WAY TO GO!!!

    What a roll model for healthy living! A real person who didn't go to a "ranch" and have a trainer screaming in her face with camera's rolling! I like your style!!

    Congratulations on your victory! :drinker:

    I can appreciate it, myself - I'm starting to see numbers on the scale that *I* haven't seen in 15 years. Even though I know I still have quite a ways to go, it's a GOOD feeling to know that I've blasted away 15 years of bad choices.

    Well done!

    That is such a wonderful accomplishment! I look back on myself in high school 125-130 @ 5'4' and would KILL for that body back. If you dotn mind me asking, what is your general exercise routine? Congrats again on your amazing accomplishment!!!

    Thanks very much!

    My ideal week I go to the gym three times. I do 30-40 minutes of cardio (elliptical or the alternating fast walking & jogging on the track are my favorites), and then 20 minutes of strength training. If I can't make it to the gym I talk the pup for a long walk in the neighborhood- that's really it! I don't have time to go more than that in a week, but so far it's been just the right amount- enough to see results, but not enough to be overwhelming and hard to maintain.

    God - I said the same thing. I was 160 when I started dating my (now) husband 10 years ago! What I would give to be starting at 160 instead of 225!

    Congratulations on your success! It's so inspiring to see that it can be done with hard work and dedication!
