Fat Girl Picks a Goal Weight

Ok, so I know I need to lose weight, but how much weight do I really need to lose? When I first met my husband 8 years ago I weighed about 150 lbs and was wearing size 12 pants. I felt pretty good then but is/was 150 to much for me then?

The experts say to figure out your frame size in order to figure out your proper weight range. According to this frame size calculator http://www.medindia.net/patients/calculators/framesize1.asp I have a medium frame. So how much should a medium framed 5'6" female weigh?
This weight chart  http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm says that I should weigh between 130 - 144 pounds. So I wasn't to far off when I weighed 150. Which means I need to lose 64 pounds to get to the top of my recommended weight range. Wow, thats going to take some work! Time to go from 208 to 144!!
