Today my coworker said, "you made it! You look like you reached your goal." Another coworker who was in the room stated that she thought I had reached my goal as well. I quickly thanked them and proceeded to tell them that I hadn't met my goal yet. I looked at myself in the mirror last night in my bathing suit before going to swimming and I remarked to myself that the suit I was wearing has never looked better on me.
No, I don't weigh 150 lbs, but I have lost a ton of fat, I am more fit and I look better in my clothing. Is the number really that important? Am I hung up on this one thing whereas; everything else is better? My health, my endurance, my appearance. Am I psyching myself out by thinking that I can never achieve the number so why bother? Am I truly not going to be happy unless I have that unattainable (perhaps) goal? I need to spend some time thinking about where do I go from here. God forbid I lose or gain weight when I weigh in on Saturday, my head might explode.

Have you had a body fat measure done? That is going to be what I go by as to whether I have met my goal, because my real goal is to be 20 to 25% body fat. Congrats for feeling great in the bathing suit, that is a great measure!

it is amazing that others can see our progress when we don't. being fit and feeling better are key for me - I really love feeling better.

Perhaps start using a tape measure and have your body fat % measured instead if the scale number.

Forget about the number!! Use the mirror as your guide and love yourself! Admire your own hard work and the results you have already achieved!

I'm sure you're already aware of this, but for those of us who are empirically-driven, I'd like to echo abbadabba. When I was much more physically active, I weighed almost twenty pounds more than my current weight -- yet wore 2-3 sizes smaller than what"s hanging in my closet today. Which is all to say that body composition is a far better determinant of your fitness than the scale is. I know how those little numbers can play mind games, but it's important to recognize them for what they are. You sound like you're overdue for some massive celebration for what you've accomplished!
