This is the best advice I've received on that topic, and it's no coincidence it came from Karen. "Don't worry about your goal. If you reach it and you're not happy about it, or if you find you want to stop before your there, you've got it made either way. "

Based on measurements combined with weights I've had from past attempts at weight loss and some playing around with the calculator I've upped my goal to 162. Should I find myself at 170 with the measurements I want then I will stop there. It's a personal decision. You'll know when you feel good in your skin.

That being said, please keep taking your measurements, it's a great motivator for those times when the scales just wont move!
