I was 168.6 this morning. I'm not sure what my target weight should be. I look pretty skinny as is (6' 0") but my BMI calculates as 22.9. When I look at the normal range for six feet that is in the upper end. But when I correct for age (64) at this site, I find I am in the 17th percentile now. Maybe I should call it quits here. Eating low carb (50-80g/day) I continue to loose but I am eating all I want. Can't decide whether I should continue at this level of carbs and see where my weight settles out or start adding some whole grains into the mix. DW is still trying to lose so I will probably keep at it until I decide I look too darn skinny.

177.5 Nov 2008
173.5 Dec 23, 2009
168.5 Feb 23, 2010
182 Dec 22, 2010
183 Dec 2, 2011
186.5 Jan 21, 2012
183 April 4 - feeling fit and trim all over.
183 April 25 - I'm up to 30 reps with the resitance band leg lifts. I've played virtual ping pong on my PS3 almost every day. Methinks I have a fun (important!) exercise routine going, one I might actually stick with.
184 June 16 - I can't believe I haven't posted to this thread since April. I actually got down to 180 in early June, but my recent back muscle problem prevented me from doing my usual activities. No problem, I'll be back in the saddle again by next week.
REVISED:
Short Term Goal - 175 lbs and maintaining all through 2012
Long Term Goal - 170 lbs for 2013
High school weight 135 lbs senior year, running track

164.8 this morning. I am starting to add a few more carbs here and there. I do not want to blow by 160.

I weighed in this morning and I am still maintaining my goal weight . I have cut way down on my portion sizes and I think that is the key for me .

Read "Losing Mum and Pup," by Christoper Buckley if you want some real insight into WFB...it's really heartbreaking.
