LADIES! What's your target?

kristen6350

I'm 36 & 5'11. Right now I'm 165. I'd like to get to 157 and this time STAY THERE. In 2012 I lost 45 lbs getting me to 143. I was too thin (so thin my boyfriend asked me to put on 10 pounds), but I went a bit beyond (When a formally fat person gets told to put on weight you take it as a "game on" situation and it got a bit out of control). Maintaining for me is VERY hard. Losing is pretty easy.

For most 165 & 5'11 is totally acceptable, but I like to be in a solid size 8. I'm less puffy at 157 and I feel like me. Right now I just don't feel RIGHT.

I'm 5'6 and I'd be happy to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 154lbs. It sounds high, but at that weight I'm a UK size 10/12 (US 6/8) and everyone thinks I'm about 15lbs lighter than I am. (See my profile pic in the blue and white dress).

Once I get back to that weight I might aim to lose a few more lbs.

I keep telling myself that when I get into the 140's I'll start re-evaluating my goal.

I wasn't born a woman so my frame carries fat differently. 170 is the point at which my hips will be wider than my belly, which I regard for myself as a vain goal with a lot of positive, healthy side effects.

I have a lot of loose skin on my stomach and thighs from losing so much weight...eventually I would like some plastic surgery to remove the excess skin on my stomach.

..I'm not 100% sure of my goal weight, though. I felt best before at 125-130. I felt I looked too thin at 110. However, I've had a child and my body is different. I also plan on strength training and expect my body to change because of that as well. So the number is up in the air. I want to be fit, decrease fat, and hopefully tighten my tummy in the process. Whatever weight gets me that..

Ladies who are the same height (5'6) and around the same weight, feel free to add me as a friend.

GW: 140 (actually 22% bf but that is my best estimate of what the weight would be)

My original goal was 154, or the top of the healthy weight range for my height. Then once I hit that it was 150 because it's a nice round number. Now it is 140/22% bf.

I also have a question. I accidentally messed up my goal weight settings, it was originally 75, but now the slider thing won't allow me to go lower than 98. When I set the 75 as goal weight, that was when I first joined MFP and was on a smartphone. Any ideas as to what I can do to fix it?

Are you talking kilograms or pounds?

Assuming kilograms, you can change your goals by going into "goals" from the home menu. Make sure you're set to metric in order to be measuring by the right scale, since it looks like you're set to pounds right now.

(If you do mean 75 pounds, I'd refer you to a therapist to get urgent help for an eating disorder.)

GW 160

I had originally selected 160 for a goal weight because it was what I weighed when I met my husband. I am currently the weight I was when we got married, but am only 1 size larger than I was when we met, and that size is loose on me. When I started losing weight, I never gave any thought to body fat, but now I am thinking about worrying less about the end weight I reach, and focus on body fat instead. I am wanting to get to 23% body fat. Whatever number I end up with on the scale to get to that is where I end up at.

I'm 5'6", and I would be happy at 140. I would LOVE to be at 135, but I'm not sure if I could maintain that. I'm currently at about 177.

sheepotato

5,8" My goal range is 140-170

I'm not focused on reaching a specific weight, it will be more how I look/feel at that point.

Okay thanks ladies, a big range here!
Are some of you aiming for a clothing size rather than a weight?

not so much, honestly. I am wearing size 10 and juniors 11, and I fully expected to wear around a size 14 or MAYBE 12 by the time I was at this weight. So the idea that I could possibly be wearing an 8 or 9 someday is just weird to me and not really a goal at all. Not bad, just not a goal.

5'0", and my non-pregnant weight range is anywhere from 104-112. That's my window. Any weight outside that, I start feeling uncomfortable and don't look my best.

That will put me at high end of healthy BMI range....possibly adjust from there....

Tblackdogs

I'm 5'4 and my highest weight was around 148. That was too thick and squishy for me. When I am at 140 I feel fine. But since I keep creeping back up, this time around I'm shooting for 130 - 135. I'm 49 years old and feel like I don't want to be a skinny old lady!
