Focus on non scale victories. Alot of the time a goal weight is this grand idea in our heads that we need to see that specific number to be successful. You are doing awesome. I have been up and down in the 140's for almost a year now. Lowest was 142 in the summer. All I wanted was to see 139 on the scale but it never happened. What did happen though was I was in awesome shape from running few times a week and people's jaws dropped when they saw me . So I took all that in and am looking forward to kicking ass running this spring :) 

@AngGoc79, I totally agree. That's why I'm not stressing it, really. It would be nice to see 130, and maybe I will if I keep on doing what I'm doing. I'm not PUSHING so hard since I'm in my range. I can still fit in my size 4 jeans lol. (which back in 2005...even though I was 128lbs I could NOT even fit a 6...they were too tight) So I know I'm pretty fit and according to some calculators, I only have 20% body fat, which is kind of between "fitness and athlete" level. I'm kind of sitting back, keeping a deficit, and moving every day, just not as hard as I was. :-) I used to work out 3-4x a week and hour each time, burning 2400-2600. And on the days in between, I didn't work out at all and barely hit 10K steps by bed time. Now, I get at least 30 active minutes a day (using my Fitbit) and get 10K-16K steps EVERY day, burning 2100-2300.  

I have fitbit charge hr and love it. It really helps keep you moving.Also workweek hustle is very motivating. :) 

@AngGoc79, yes I love to see my numbers!!! :-) Unfortunately, I can't do any challenges because I don't have a smartphone and my tablet doesnt' support the app. Since it's an app specific thing, I can't do it from the computer :-( But, I have a list of 13 friends, and I usually stay in the top 2 :-) I go back and forth from #1 and #2 every few days.  

Oh and I also have the Charge Hr, AngGoc79 

Cool, my side button fell off of mine. I may trade it in but still works fine. I like the heart rate feature. I was slacking on getting steps once the weather turned . I kicked ass this week but then had to take the weekend off,so sore! Lol I'm going to try and do jillian Michaels workout a few times this week and keep up weight training . Not sure how steps will be but oh well. :)
