I started LC 14 weeks ago at 178 (I have been as high as 230) and I now I'm down to 148 to 150, size 6 pants and dresses and small/medium tops. This is all good of course except dear lord I wasn't ready for all the wrinkles in my face YIKES! lol
So my question is at 52, 5'6, with a small/mediums build should I go for a goal weight of 135 or 145? Or even less than 135? Thank you

Hi Stacy,
Your issue isn't an uncommon one at all. As we all age, this is an issue for most women.
All women, as Mae West so succinctly put it back in the 30s, "have to choose between their face and their butt" sooner or later.
I lost a lot of weight in my mid 50s, now about 8 yrs ago. I opt to not lose any more due to my face aging. I can't afford plastic surgery.
If you can afford it, then that is a great option for you.
At already a size 6, do you really need to see any more loss?
Good job, by the way!!
