Progress Prompts - 9/29/2003
What is your ideal goal weight? How many pounds do you need to lose in order to reach your goal weight? Do you think your goal weight is realistic enough for your age and your body frame? Why?
My ideal goal weight is 115 pounds, about 5 lbs. less than what I weigh now. Right now I'm in the middle/upper end of what is healthy for my height (5'2") and 115 is on the lower end. In addition, I'd like to have a 5 pound "insurance" for PMS bloat, bad eating days, and I can stand the way I look at exactly 120, but not 125. It is SO hard to lose those last 5 pounds that I might someday be content with a more muscular 120, but I haven't come to that yet. I'm still optimistic that I can reach and maintain my goal weight.
