    I'm 5'4, currently weight 160, but I hope to get down to 135. Somehow, though, my body likes to put on muscle, rather than to lose weight ... hmmm ...

    I am 5' 4" and my 1st goal is 150 and my final goal is 130. I think any smaller would make me look unhealthy. :)

    Hi im 5'4"...167 - hoping to get to 140....taking it slowly but my fitness levels are getting much better :)

    By the way - you look great!


    Taking it slowly is the best way to go. But sometimes when it comes off so slowly it's hard to see your progress. Take pictures of your body as you progress, I didn't realize how much my body had changed until I looked at pictures of me after losing 12 pounds. It made an amazing difference. Good luck, and thank you! :)

    I've only lost 7 pounds so far. I'm waiting until the 10 pound mark to take another photo.

    Hi there,
    I am 5'4 and currently 170...ugh! I am also working on getting to 130, since that was where I felt the healthiest and happiest. I am on week 2 and have lost my 2 pounds (I started at 172).

    I have a really athletic build and will never be "super thin" and I'm totally ok with that, I just want to get back into my size 8's, where I spent most of my 20's.

    How are things going for you?

    I haven't taken photos yet that show my body (I've been hiding behind my son for the last year) lol. I'll attach the one I have tomorrow.

    Hi!
    I'm 5ft 3.5. I was 147 and now 135lbs. Goal weight is 126lbs (9 stone). Its taking AGES to get there!!
    Not a clue how to post pictures!! :flowerforyou:

    I know, I've been stuck around 150 for months now. It's driving me nuts! And posting pictures is a little tricky. First you need the url of an image you want to post (you can find this by right-clicking on an image on the web and selecting "copy image location". Then in the message boards you write [*img]insert image URL here{*\img] and you have to remove the *s. I hope that helps!

    :happy: As I started out at 267 lbs:sad: ...my doctor set my goal at 150. Weight Watchers set my goal at 146 so that's not too far off (for someone who had been morbidly obese for a L-O-N-G time...) I continued with my healthy lifestyle changes and continued to lose on down (with a doctor monitoring) until I got to my low of about 130. The doctor didn't want me going below 135. At my healthiest (in high school) I weighed 135 so that's a great number for me. I've maintained that weight now for over 5 years within a 7 lb. range of 130. Currently (this morning) I weigh 132.4. I wanted to get on down to 128 but honestly that number would be harder and require more strenuous effort to maintain and would be detrimental in the end. I'm right in the middle of a healthy BMI now so I'm not messing with things. I like the weight I'm at and it's easy enough to hold it there so I'm good. I have pictures on here I think.

    I realize there are those who are more comfortable at a lower weight and I'm all for being comfortable as long as it's healthy and not unrealistic. :smile:

    I can understand that. When I was 118 I was very skinny, I didn't like the way I looked in pictures and had multiple people ask me if I was anorexic or on drugs. Not fun! But everyone is different and everyone carries weight differently. I met a girl who I thought weighed about the same as me only to find out she weighed about 25 lbs more. Not fair! Haha. But good luck obtaining your goals!

    I am 5'4" I originally hit about 180lbs and now am currently down to 138lbs. My original goal was to get to 135 but since I have been loosing some of my shape my new goal is to stay where Im at and do weight lifting to build muscle and loose fat so I can shape my curves back. A girl cant live without her curves ya know what Im sayin LOL!!

    Haha! I know what you mean! My boyfriend tries to tell me I shouldn't lose weight because he's afraid I'm going to lose my boobs and booty (not that my booty is much to write home about as it is.) But I definitely want to do some shaping so I don't lose my curves!

    5'4" and hoping to get to and stay around 135 pounds. Lost to 140 last year but the diet got away from me and I blossomed up to 162. Back on track now but have quite a ways to go. This morning was at 156 with my first goal to be 150 by September 15.

    I don't have any photos though maybe I should take a few. Might be a good idea. This site has been good for me and always looking for the support from others.....it help tremendously!

    By the way, many of you look absolutely fantastic!

    Yep, I started at 157 or so, I'm hovering happily around 125 with lots of muscle density! I don't hate the process of posting pictures, but you can see some under my profile.
