I chose 150 knowing I wanted to go lower, but I like to do things incrementally so the journey doesn't seem so long. Then I bumped it to 140 and now I'm thinking anywhere between 135 - 140 is goal for me. Goal weight includes a number of variables including height, BMI, build (small, medium or big boned) and age. And weight loss is a bit of an organic process ... we learn about our bodies as we go ...

Even within the same healthy range for two people, there's room for movement, to accommodate our own personal taste. Some people prefer the willowy lean look and others like curves. How boring if we all wanted to be the same.

Surpassing goal is not as amazing as staying OP each and every day. I love Ken's comment about reaching goal being anticlimactic since we don't change how we eat. Staying OP ... that's the real celebration
