126 lbs seems daunting, but it's good to know my ultimate goal of 125-130 (depending on how I feel when I get down there) isn't too low. I was a little worried because I made that goal off of my desired BMI of 22.0.

I don't think I could ever be 124lbs. That's just so TINY! However, it's sort of nice to know that my highest "healthy" weight is 185lbs. That's what I weighed when I remember last being happy with myself.
