Angie - I forgot to say yesterday that regarding choosing a goal weight - for me it is not all about weight - I am also within the healthy weight range accordign to the BMI charts (which are, of course for men and women, both) but I still have a little bit of what they call "abdominal obesity," which means either a waist measurement above 35" or there is a formula for waist to hip ratio and I qualify according to both. Abdominal obesity is apparently indicative of visceral fat, which is the more dangerous kind, so I really want to work until I get that more reduced. Where that is on the scale, I just don't know, but wanted to throw out there that I am keeping that in mind as I'm continuing to find my goal weight.
