66 gone so why isn't it enough?

I've decided to share some photos of my journey as much as maybe inspiration for you as well as for myself. In the first photo, I was happy with life. I was trying to lose weight, thought I was eating right, and exercising. But apparently, I wasn't doing something right because until I joined Weight Watchers it didn't compute that I was doing healthy living the wrong way (for me). And now that I'm down 66 pounds, I feel a lot of pressure to keep the weight off, to keep losing, and to eat less to get to my goal weight of 141. 
I don't know why I can't look at where I am and say, oh, good job. Maybe it's because the weight loss hasn't sunk in yet, maybe I'm embarrassed I was so heavy to begin with (when I'm really not) or maybe it's just the mental pressure to lose weight each time I go to the Tuesday morning Weight Watchers meeting. 
For the past two weeks, I've been determined to hit a goal weight of 160 and I'm hovering at 163 and just seem stuck here. I like 163. I feel healthy. It's a good weight for me, but I need to lose about 25 more pounds. 
So, in order to do that, I have to really focus. I'm giving myself until September 11th to hit my goal weight of 141, because it seems the more I lose, the harder I have to fight to get the weight off. Not to mention keeping it off. 
It's time to shake off the in-a-funk feeling of I haven't lost enough and focus on where I want to be and why I want to be there. 
I've got lots of people rooting for me, including myself and the fight to stay as healthy as possible mentally and physically will continue. 
But the struggle is real and sometimes you just need to write it out, because you never know when someone else might be feeling the same....
