Thanks, Shawn, and yeah, but I'm just hovering 6 pounds shy of my goal. I deliberately set my goal at 5 pounds LESS than I really wanted to be. Maybe my body thinks this is where it should be. Everyone says I look fine and don't need to lose anymore. I'd still like to get there just to give me the leeway. I stay around 10-11 carbs every single day. Maybe I'm eating too much ... I don't know.

They are!  :D Crazy things are from the 90s, so the waist is really high, which means they can be snug there and baggy everywhere else.

I had this really cute sundress I bought years ago and had never worn once! I was all excited about wearing it this summer. I went to put it on and the stupid thing fell off! I just gave it away to a friend, so at least someone can get some use out of it.

I do know what you mean there Rena..... I put my end goal about 5 lbs under where I think I would like to be.  I'm thinking about dropping down to about that myself.  You know to give myself a kick in the you know what..LOL  I'm dropping weight but it is going sloooooowwwwwww  ::)  At least it is going down  ;)

Rena, what does your hubby think of your current weight and body....does he think your where you should be now? The reason I ask is I know how addictive it can be losing weight on FTS...I actually became too thin and looked gaunt. Umpa stepped up and let me know I needed to eat a potato!  I wrote an article called "how skinny is too skinny"  you can download it here- http://www.fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=121.0   ;)

He thinks I look fine and better than I should for my age. And yeah, I understand how it could be addictive. I'm going to read your article. Like I said, I deliberately set my goal weight 5 pounds LESS than where I thought I should be. I was 139 at my lowest while doing Herbalife, so I figured 145 would be good at the age I am now. I'm hovering between 151-155 right now. I'm 5'8", if that matters, so I'm not a tiny thing by any means. But yeah, Rick says I look great. But like you -- I STILL see that fat person in the mirror. :(

Thanks, Umpa. I think I'd feel better being closer to 145 and trying to maintain that.  :D Maybe someday ...
