What is goal weight, current weight and start weight? If you have pictures feel free to post them.

My start weight was 61kg (135lbs) and current weight 58kg (129lbs.)
My origonal goal was 50-52kg (110 - 114lbs) but i'm not sure if that is acheivable so might change to 52-54kg (114-118lbs)
«134

    I've got further to go. My starting weight was 201lbs, although my weight when I went into the hospital to have my baby was 225. I'm at 190 now and would like to get to 125.

    Don't I feel like the fatty 5'5'er right now? I started at 184 and I'm down to 169 (or less, that was last weigh in) and my goal right now is 150. I've never weighed less than about 135 and at 145 a few years ago I looked pretty emaciated, so I will just redetermine once I get to 150.

    Anyway, good luck to you! :)

    Started at 178 lbs. At 139 lbs right now.

    My goal weight initially was 128 lbs -- that's 50 lbs total! -- but we'll see how I look/feel when I get there.

    Started at 180; current 148; goal is 140 but I felt my best when I was around 135 lbs in my 30's. May adjust to 135 depending how I feel when I reach my current goal.

    I haven't been measured for height in YEARS but I'm either 5"5 or 5'6"... SO I figured I can post here haha.

    Starting weight was 246
    Current weight is 238 (started my healthy lifestyle two weeks ago)
    Goal weight that I want to get to is 150. I really can't picture myself there yet though because I've never been skinny my entire life... I think once I hit 200 that it'll be easier to see what my body will look like.

    And I keep forgetting to take "before" photos" but tomorrow I'll make myself do it haha.

    I'm 5'3-4, and right now I'm at 139. Goal is to get below 130 in the next 2 months (before Nov), and ultimate would be low 120s (which is where I was at 5 years ago).

    The CDC's BMI calculator says a healthy weight range for an adult 5'5" woman is 111 to 150 pounds. Other sources say this does not take into account frame size. I'm large-framed (used this calculator to determine frame size: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/fsz ). I've seen frame size/ideal weight charts that say as high as 155-158 is acceptable/healthy/not overweight for a 5'5" woman with a large frame, and thinking back over the years and looking at photos of myself when I weighed about 135-140 and wore a size 7/8 (and a 36D bra), I believe a healthy weight for me would be 145-155. I just didn't feel (or look) healthy at 135. My jawbone was too prominent. I really was starving myself to be that thin. At 150-160 I was the healthiest/strongest/happiest I have ever been in my life.

    My all-time high was 228 pounds, right after I had my daughter, when I was 22 (10 years ago). I held steady at 220 pounds (38G bra, size 2X or 18/20/22) for the past few years. I have PCOS (and no medical insurance), and I finally just got tired of being fat and unhealthy. 6 weeks ago I decided to do something about it. I joined MFP and changed the way I eat. I lost almost 10 pounds (then started my period 3 days ago and gained back over 4 pounds...crying inside...hoping next week the number goes back down, because my diet has been totally fine).

    My goals are to be under 200 by the beginning of October and 179 or less by New Years 2012 (out of the obese category and into "just' overweight for the first time in over 12 years). My "ultimate" goal weight is 145-155. I'll be happy if I'm 160 or less by July of next year. That would be 60+ pounds in a year, which should be totally do-able as long as I don't lose my motivation. :)

    I started at 170 lbs, and have been hovering around 140 for a couple months. My goal weight (130) isn't my true goal.....it's fitting into single-digit pant sizes. And now, thanks to MFP friends, to have muscles.

    hi

    I'm aiming for 113lb, but don't know if this is really realistic.

    I started at 158lb & am currently 155lb.

    My starting weight was about 152 lbs (didn't weigh, so not 100% sure). My goal is 130 lbs, I am currently 133, I am thinking of switching goal to 125, though. I'm not sure. I look ok at 130. I wouldn't want to be below 120. I have been 112 lbs, and was severely underweight (BF% of 14), and stopped getting periods.
