Have you ever been 160 as an adult?  I weighed 165 in high school and had a fairy waist.  I'm open to the possibility of setting for a little more than 170 but I'd rather at least try that out.  Deciding on a target weight is harder than deciding to start losing.

Was there a reason that you decided to take it off when you did?  For me it was the feeling that if I don't do it now that I'm retired, when will I?

I used to weigh 160 pounds for several years until one day around mid 20ies I became ill and gained a whopping 70 pounds in about 1 to 1½ months. I never, until recently lost all those extra pounds (I'm talking weighing 220-230 pounds for 8-9 years). It's a long story, but the gist is that I lost 40 pounds on changing the way I eat, not just dieting. Dieting doesn't work and is only a temporary loss of weight.


I agree entirely.  I actually found it easy to maintain my the weight I'd lost for a year and actually lost ten more pounds.  Once you understand how to eat and how much you need I don't find it hard to maintain.  But losing involves some sacrifice.

Oh, and I actually went up 0.2 pounds this week darn it.  But several from the class and I are planning a pot luck at my place in a week or two, and I plan to stay in losing mode hopefully until I weigh 170 but if 175 feels right I'll go with that.  I don't really know what a good final goal for me would be, all I know is I want to be light on my feet again and soon.

Just finished telling a friend how I recently bought a "Spiralizer" and I love it:

There's different versions out there, mine is made by Starfrit, cost about $20-$25 CDN.

If you love veggies, it is a great way to get more of them into your diet.
I make the julienned "noodles" out of zucchini and steam them, in lieu of pasta.

Brilliant.

Also great for raw; can make ribbons of cucumber or apple; pretty much anything.


Thanks.  I wonder if this is how they make broccoli slaw?  Looks like a really good idea.
