I am a 5'8", 179 pound woman with an apple shape. How much more weight should I lose? (just curious what people think, I know it's up to me in the end) :smile: vfafjm8ll3db.jpg

    I'm the same height as you, and my goal is 140lbs or slightly under. It's hard to put a number on it for you. I'll take a stab and estimate 20-25lbs.

    ETA: My boobs looked like yours when I was around your weight :+1: they were the first to go :cry:

    I just want to say - you have a really, really great shape! I like christinev297's answer of 20-25 lbs and take it one step further: aim for something thereabouts as an initial goal, and then see how you look/feel. After being at my initial goal weight for awhile, I decided I wanted to be even lighter (I'm a runner). The wonderful thing about all of this is nothing is ever set in stone.

    Good luck!

    I'd say 5-10lbs if you want to. But I think you look gorgeous just how you are. How much do you want to lose?

    I'm the same height. I started at 200lbs, now I'm at 160. My goal is 135-140.
    You look great though, when I was at 179, I didn't look as good as you. I'm probably more critical of myself than others are though. I'm also 'Apple shaped' ugh. Lol.

    I had a similar body when I first started (but you have better legs :) )and my goal was 20 lbs.

    Thanks people! My final goal was 160, but it was so hard to even get to the 170's from 215. I would like to be able to stay at 170 so I don't need to lower my cals any more, but I'm afraid enough won't come off my middle poochy spare tire area! Really wish I could "spot lose" haha!

    Wow you look great. I'm your same height and a few pounds less and don't look anything like that.

    edited to add: My goal is 150 - even though I know I will still look huge at that weight I don't think I can realistically get below that and maintain it.

    Your body shape it great, I would think 150-155 depending on how you feel at that size.

    First off: well done on your loss thus far, you look great :)

    It's really hard to predict what weight loss is going to look like on different people, but going by the picture I'd probably say 15-25. If it were me, I'd just set my goal in 10 lb increments and re-assess each time. You'll know it when you see it.

    You have nice legs already. Do some strength training ( Google a program like stronglifts or nrolfw) and you'll be fine.

    Do not look for answers from us as to how much weight you should lose. We are fools when it comes to this compared to you.
