So, I am a 6′2 female with a large frame, and all any doctor says is that a weight between 185 and 200 is good for me.  So, I have aimed for 185 as my goal weight, which is about 30 pounds away. But, looking at my body I feel like I have more than 30 pounds of visible fat that needs to go away. I’m trying not to let this get me down, but I don’t want to reach 185 and still feel like I have so much work to do! I remember what i looked/felt like at 287, so I know that 185 will be an improvement from THAT, but it may not make me look the way I want to in my head.

I have also read several BodySpaces where women had an ideal number in their heads for their weight, and the more fit they got the less that number matted. As in, one particular woman wanted to be 160 and she thought that would be it. Well, she kept working at her body past that point and now weighs 130, far beyond her goal.

I want to be able to look past the scale, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that until after I hit 185. But I also don’t want to be cutting for the rest of my life. That is an exaggeration, but I really don’t want to still be cutting a year from now. Cutting is no fun!
