My doctor said he wanted me at 141.( I am 5'8"). I have never been below 155 as an adult. So I set my goal at 150 but in my effort to get there I gained 12 pounds. I definately noticed it and didn't like how I am feeling or how my clothes fit ( tight with a belly roll) At between 157 and 160 I felt good but not finished. I tried to maintain at 160 but wasn't able to, I am going to try and get to 155 and keep it within a couple of pounds. P
