        W7 = 148.8 lbs.

          My height is 5' 7"

           

          The lightest I've been in the past 15 years is just around 144 lbs.  Running was a lot easier at that weight, especially going uphill.  When I raced back in "the day" I weighed 120 lbs.

           

           

           

          I see that your goal is 140 lbs. Out of curiosity and considering my ultimate goal weight...

          Would you share your height?

              I am in week #2 / 13 of couch potato to 50 mile trail race training

               

              3/4 will be my 1st fitness test (Or lack there of) to get a starting point - Point Bock 5 miler

               

              I have been doing a lot of self reflecting lately and I am happy where I am in life right now.  I am setting goals, but refuse to beat myself up for failure any more.

                    Thanks for the info mtrunr! Since i am just a bit taller I am going to reduce my goal weight of 150... to !45.

                     

                    **Looking back, I thought you had goal weight set at 140 but now see 149 which you are now under?

                      Yeah, the goal was 149 lbs. for this first Quarter.  That way, I could continue toward 140 lbs. in the next quarter.  Honestly, I'm not typically very good at losing weight as I like food way too much.  For some reason, I've been able to stay committed to "the plan".  My goal is to get a bit lighter (around 140 lbs.), so I'll continue to gradually work my way down.

                       

                      I raced this past weekend for the first time since last July.  It felt a lot easier to keep a pace at 147 than the 166 that I weighed when I raced back then.

                          Gotcha.

                          I am planning a race this April, not that I'm even close to race ready, to commemorate 1 year of sobriety.

                          My being close to race weight, plus finally leaving weed behind Jan1, has given my return to training a big boost.

                                W8 = 260 (Can you correct the 250 you have in the top post ?)

                                W9 = 259

                                 

                                Had a really good week in everything but the scale.
