thanks!!! i'm getting so close to goal, i can taste it!!! and i'm not starving myself either--eating at least 1200-1400cals a day. yesterday, bought a 2 skirts at Ann Taylor's --one in 2petite, the other size 0 and an x-small top. that was a bit surreal --i mean i'm at a healthy weight range but by no means underweight, so go figure...?

Carla, You are totally my inspiration as far as reaching 19BMI (which is around where i want to land) and maintaining. Once I get there, i'll be bothering you a lot with questions about transitioning from the "weight loss" to maintanace stage without re-gaining. I figured is a scale bounces up/down in a 5lb range as i try to up the calories, that's normal. afterwards, i'm allowed to freak out and cut down calories again. Does that make sense?

very much so. I went up to 124 this last week and cut back to get back to the 120 mark. almost there.. It's a balancing act to maintain and something I am still working on.

See you tomorrow

Thanks, you are doing great!!! I know you'll get the balancing act right and ten I can be a copycat:) On a personal weight--in note, a happy update. I weighed myself this morning (Sat) and the scale said 129.5!!! So goodby 130s, I hardly knew ya at all:)  

Well the scale said 151 today

last week 150....

I am sure it will go back down next week. I need to get my height remeasured. I may be closer to a normal BMI than I think. Sher
