At 168 pounds and 5'4", I am the same size I was when nine-months pregnant. That worked then because I had the baby and lost all the weight, but it doesn't work now. My goal weight is 150 simply because I haven't been that "skinny" since I was 50 yo (now 65).

I am not just a bunch of numbers, but I have developed sizable love handles. To be honest, I feel like a blimp. The moderator said to answer these questions:

-- How much weight do you want to lose? answered--18 pounds

-- What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight? four months

-- How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)? exercise and diet

-- Who or what can support you in reaching your goal? I need to keep track of emotional eating. I hope the forum will help to keep me on track.

-- How realistic is your goal? It is achievable with constant diligence.

-- When will you start? I have already ramped up my exercise and started eating more fruits and veggies. I do an hour of water aerobics three days a week, and I walk for 30 minutes every day.
 
It doesn't matter too much, slip-ups happen. It's over now, so concentrate on the future and not doing it again. You have a good mindset so if you keep at it I don't doubt that you'll achieve your goal.
