5'5" 41 yo

sw 195
cw 136
gw 131 Puts me in the middle of my BMI and I figure thats a good place to stop and maintain. Not too light and gives me wiggle room. Granted my pulmonary doctort thought that at 150 I was good lol. Anyway good luck it will eventually get there.

CW: 123.6
GW: 115?

I am not sure now. I know I'm close. I never exercised for the first 60lbs, so I am working on toning up at the moment. I would be happy here, or even a few pounds heavier if I looked better. I'm just exercising and eating right now. I try to keep my net at 12-1300 calories. I eat enough of my exercise to get that number. That seems to be working.

Plateaus? Hahahaha...um. I hit one at 160. It lasted a couple of months. Another at 139. Another couple of months. And then I was utterly stuck for two years at around 131.

The first 60lbs were just diet. I had a 1200 calorie/day plan with 3 allowed cheat meals per week. And that just stopped working at 130. Now that I'm eating more and moving more, I'm losing again. I've lost 10lbs in the last 2 months since I started trying to net my BMR. : _

*almost* 42 years old. 137 lbs. Started at 168. 5'5".Have come to realize that getting to 130 (or any other magic number) is more of a distraction than it is a real goal. I'm happy being a size 6. My body is strong and I can run a long distance. If I happen to drop a few more pounds. . .yippee. If not, I've already knocked off 30 and held it off for 18 months, so I'm pretty darned happy about that. My goals are now performance based (although my ticker will tell you I have 7 lbs to go....a hold over from a while ago). Strive to do your best, feel your best and perform your best. The scale may or may not ever land where you want it to, but you will be able to look at your list of accomplished goals with satisfaction!! Go get it!!!

Hello - I am a bit older then you are looking for...but I have been have a ton of success on this plan. I am 5'5" and currently weigh 144lbs with 15 more to go - I am 46 years old. In my 30s after the birth of my first child I was able to maintain this weight without a problem. At the age of 39 I went on a medical help to have another baby. After a couple years of trying and gaining weight, I became pregnant at 41 and then again at 43 and then again at 45. So, my 40s have been spent without me being in charge of my body. Before the birth of my last child I checked in at 205! Ease to get to 179 with the birth and breastfeeding, but then it stopped. Knowing now that I will have no more children, no more medical drugs, I am now on the quest to reclaim my body. The first month, I dropped a 1/2 to 1 lb daily. Hitting the 150 mark was a stand still for awhile. Now 144, I have added more exercise. This program WORKS! I am held accountable and even record my cheating and when I want more to eat, I hit the exercise to gain more calories. I love it - and can get into clothes that I wore before my 3 year old was born. Look forward to getting off those last 15lbs! Good luck and stick with the program - it is great!

I had a baby six months ago. Easily went from 180 at birth down to 140ish and then stalled. Went crazy with my eating and gained back up to 148 and then got serious. Down to 137.4 as of this morning. My goal is 125 but that may be too low. I will start exercising today and hopefully the toning will help with how I look. Seven pregnancies have not been kind to my body and I need toning. BADLY.
