Wow, this is me! EXACTLY. Are you me??

I am 5'9" and started at 214, and am now at 189 - also have lost 25! Because of my height, I carry my weight way more proportionally than most women. I also want to end up at 160, and when I tell people I still have 29 pounds to lose, they are flabbergasted. But I am halfway between a 12 and a 14 (12s a tish bit tight and 14 is too loose) - want to land at an 8. People *always think* that I weigh less than I do. AND - I have lost 25 freaking pounds and people are JUST NOW starting to notice *shakes head*

I used to be 140lbs back in the day, and THAT was SKINNY for my height (size 4). I won't ever get back there, but I think that 160 is doable for me, and for you, too!!!

That is so me! LOL! I am 5'9" New Years I was 189 now I am 181 trying to get to 150. I workout a lot so I am toned so when I tell people I am trying to lose 30 lbs they look at me like I have 3 heads. But I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic so I see the importance of getting the weight off. I wear a comfortable 12 but I am trying to get back into a 10.

It's nice to meet you - thank you for friending me!

I'm 5'9" and found that weighing between 150-160lbs is just right.

I just have trouble finding clothes long enough in the arms & legs even though I am 5'8" - technically not all that tall (36 inseam fits best). I am quite small framed though (eg 32D, A or AA 8.5 shoes) so when I weighed 167 there was a fair bit of pudge, lol. I feel best closer to my goal weight of 132. When I was in my very early 20's I weighed 125 and I didn't have to watch what I ate - but I did some modeling then. Now that I am older I can't go that low without looking drawn. People never have thought I needed to lose weight even at my 'heaviest,' but can appreciate the difference in 'before & afters'.
