significant numbers...

I haven't really set any hard goals for myself--things like "I will weigh XX pounds by XX date."  But, there are a few numbers that have significance to me and that I will celebrate when I reach them.  One of those numbers is coming up...199.  As of this morning, I am only 6 lbs away from the 100's.  This is significant in and of itself since it will also put me in the under 35 BMI range.  However, it is more significant because for most of my life, 200 was the weight that I never reached.  I weighed in @ 198-199 a couple of times, but never went beyond.  Something happened in my mid-30's and I started gaining weight at an alarming rate.  Before I new it, I was @ 219...and I just gave up.  It wasn't long before I tipped the scales at my heaviest and stayed there for over a year.

Other significant numbers:

191.5--50 lb weight loss
170--no longer "obese"
165--weight when I went on my first "date" with my husband in 2004
155--realistic goal
145-dream goal
138--the lowest recorded weight of my post-college life

I have pretty much the same approach. Target numbers from my past that I will "celebrate" when I see again. Onederland is coming! :)
