You can do it!
You've made an excellent start so far by losing the first 25lbs.
Just think, that means you're 1/4 of the way to losing 100lbs!
5lbs of weighloss is like removing a small bowlingball from your body, so just think, you've shed 5 bowlingballs worth of weight so far!

Also, at 119lbs you'd probably be more like a dress size 3-5.  

[Enelya Silimaure]

I didn't even really think about the fact that I've lost 25lbs. I guess I always just think about the weight that I am at right now...when really I should be thinking about the highest that I've been at.

The size 9/10 thing is my Curves goal. I think I mentioned before that they look at measurements and not weight. When you join they then ask you to pick a dress size for your goal and based upon that tell you how many inches you need to lose. I was thinking 7/8 or 5/6 but felt that was probably an unreasonable goal so I went with 9/10. To be perfectly honest, I have been overweight for so long now I have no clue what weight would fit in what size clothing...all I know is that I've been in plus sizes FOREVER! smile

[Groovy Spleen]

Yeah, i've just recently got back into 'normal' sized clothing after being a size 18+ for YEARS.
Even when I dropped down to a 16, I had a hard time finding cute clothes.
There are sooo many more choices for a 10-12 person. It's definately a feel good size to hit, because finally I can shop in 'normal' stores and actually find stuff that looks GOOD.

I'm aiming for a size 7 overall. 3nodding
