10 stone 3 (143 lbs).
I'm perfectly fine with that. Really. For about five seconds at one point this summer I saw 9 stone 13 (139) but I really don't need to weigh that. In my head I think I'd like to weigh 140 pounds, but that's just because it's the "should weigh" number that was drilled into my head so many years ago. (Remember those old height/weight charts, where you gave yourself 100 pounds for five feet, and then five pounds for every inch above that? Well, I'm 5'8".) Plus I know myself: If I ever got to 140 lbs for more than 20 seconds and it didn't involve a bout of the flu I'd probably be thinking: Hmmm, I should get to 138 or 139 just to have a little buffer.
So... current plan is to stay here, plus or minus two pounds. (Well, plus two pounds -- what weight watcher ever minded being minus two pounds?) I'm also experimenting with allowing myself a few more calories/treats -- like (food porn alert) today's definitely-not-within-usual-calorie-limits slice of apple and blackcurrant crumb cake. Mmmm. Buttery and delicious. Anyway, we'll see where I get to with that. Hopefully not 200 lbs (I know, I know -- I shouldn't even joke about it.)

glad to hear you are happy with the numbers and hope the cake is tasty!
ReplyDeletedude i am dying to see a photo! it's nearly three years since i met you :)
I had the same thoughts when I got close to where I wanted to be. I just couldn't decide exactly what number made me happy. (I lost 150 lbs)
ReplyDeleteEventually I just let the way I looked be the determing factor for me. And, I wanted to be at a weight I could easily maintain.
I've maintained 12 years!
OMG you must be so skinny looking now!
ReplyDeletewow wow wow....I used to dream of being that slim. Now my dreams are a bit more realistic but, who knows??
ReplyDeleteWell done you and keep up the good work from your last post vis-a-vis not eating dangerous stuff and making it to the gym!
