I was thinking this week about how long it's been since I was (a) at my goal weight, or (b) happy with my weight.

I was at my goal weight almost 8 years ago before I had my second daughter and that was the last time I was happy with my weight. I know what you mean about worry about it so much. I spend so much thinking about what I'm eating or what i'm going to do to try and exercise its a constant thing and a yo yo up and own over the years. The closest I have been is with in 10 pounds of my goal and then life happens I flake and here I am again now about 24 pounds away from my goal.

Gosh......I think I was last 'near' my goal weight about 2yrs ago, happy enough at that time I guess. Not really sure that I have ever been completely happy with my weight.


Interesting question to think about ;-)

How long has it been since you were at your goal weight (if ever)?


My goal weight is 110. I was 105 when I got married (and stayed there until I got pregnant 1 1/2 years later). I was 108 for

Not sure when I was last at my goal weight but 3 to 4 years ago I was only 3 lbs. above it and now I would be really okay with that. lol So I'd have to say I was happy then as well particularly when I quit the job that I ran up and down stairs all day to take the one I have now. Easily kept 10 lbs. off by running the stairs several times a day.

I don't really have a goal weight...my goal is more my clothes size.......although I'm currently at my "goal size", I am still not happy with my fitness level.

How long has it been since you were happy with your weight?

Same answer for both, almost 3 yrs ago. When I first met DH was the last time I was happy & at my goal weight. Maybe I'll get back there one day. I don't know.

How long has it been since you were at your goal weight (if ever)? I haven't officially weighed, but I should be there now, at least at my new goal weight. I'll never be at my high school weight, and I shouldn't be. I was pretty thin then.


How long has it been since you were happy with your weight? I decided I wanted to reach a certain number recently, but I don't really concentrate too much on weight but more on how I look. I don't know if I'll ever be completely happy with how I look. My family carries weight in their middle, stomach and rear. I

I've never really made a lot of true 'goal' weights...so not sure how to answer that one
