I'm not perfect here but my back issues had me keep fairly to scale.
Pretty much gain a little, back hurts so stop eating because pain and
hunger do not work together. At 5ft1, the Docs put me between 95-105
but I'd be happier with more curves at about 120. (scale that to size,
I'm a lot shorter than most!). I'm actually part way to that goal now
but bouncing up and down. Kinda plateau here at 134.

Guess what, I aint no Barbie doll and don't care. Like you, I only
care how I *feel* and I feel fairly well at this weight for me. My
back would feel better if i dropped a few more lbs though. Thats my
motive.

Good luck Cindy, taint easy. Those last few are the hardest ones. They
are especially hard if you have medical issues and cant work out.
