My goal for most of my adult life was 165. By the time I joined this board, I knew I was going to reach 165, and it would not be enough. Once I got to 155, I had a brief dip below that, but then happily stayed around 155 for many months. Being diabetic means no carb increase or change in the basic diet for me.

I ended up below goal by tweaking things for cholesterol reasons (dropping spenda & aspartame, adding more fiber), and those changes dropped me firmly into the 149-150 range without specifically trying to lose weight. Ideally, I think I would look better closer to 140 as I have areas I would like to lose. We'll see if I ever muster the enthusiasm to take off the last 10lbs.
