hannahbenson32

-I think im a small/medium
-I weigh about 145lbs and i wear anywhere from a 5 to a 9
-my goal is 125lbs. Why? I want to have a tighter tummy and a thigh gap (all though i am kinda on the fit side)
-I'm 13 years young. Lol
-nooo i do not have kids

i'm 5'3", but...

- what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)
small/medium, i'm in between.

- how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
currently 128, size depends mostly on the clothing brand, but i can squeeze into a 4, and 6 has become loose on me. i normally wear small-medium in dress size.

- what is your goal weight and why?
my initial goal weight was 125, which would mean i will have lost around 25lbs. at the time, i thought my build was more of a medium - turns out i'm much more of a small. so i still have quite a bit of a tummy and arm flab, and will most likely be updating my goal weight to 115lbs.

- how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)
23.

- and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! )
nope, not just yet!

- what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large) 
No idea. . I'm a bananaaaa.
- how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? 
116 lbs, size 0-2.
- what is your goal weight and why? 
Don't have one because my goals are more body composition and strength gains in lifting.
- how old are you (if you don't mind sharing) 
26
- and have you had any kids?
Two kids. First was 8 lbs 6 oz and other was 9 lbs 4 oz at birth.

- what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)
Medium (broad shoulders, big hands, big head, thick collarbone.. definitely not as delicate as I would like. Haha.)
- how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
125.4 (weighed myself this morning), 3-5. Depending on the brand, I can squeeze into a 1 too.
- what is your goal weight and why?
110 lbs (it's a WIP. I'm sure I don't want to be LOWER than 110, but I definitely want to be under 120.)
- how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)
23
- and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! )
Nope. Nope.. Nope. Haha.

--What kind of build are you?

Medium (smaller hips, but larger chest, and horrible upper body strength :-/ )

--How much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?

I'm about 145 lbs and wear size 8 pants.

--What is your goal weight and why?

I started this lifestyle change four years ago and was unhealthy and 193 lbs. I didn't set a specific number and just wanted to be more healthy and confident. I'd still like to lose more belly fat and fat around my thighs, but I want to also improve my upper body strength.

--How old are you (if you don't mind sharing)?

34

--And have you had any kids?

No

- I'm 5'4.5'' ish
- Medium build?
- Currently 134 lbs and wear a size 6-8.
- Goal weight: 120-125 lbs. Mostly vanity weight at this point. ;-)
- Age 29, no kids

wellthenwhat

I'm 5'4 1/2". Medium to large build, I have a large bone structure, and a big head.:) I weigh 160, and I wear size 14 pants. I am a quite conservative person, and I like to be modest. I could fit into a size 12, but it would be to tight for my comfort. My current goal weight is 140. I'm not 20 yet, and don't have any biological children.

Hi all!
Some of these stump me a bit... Bare with me here! :-)
- I'd have to say I have a small upper build (freakishly small wrists and a small ribcage/ waist but D-cup boobs), medium bottom (thighs and hips have always been large).... More of an hourglass shape
- Currently I weigh 165. I'm trying to go off of measurements more so bust (39), waist (32), hips (42), thighs (22)
- I wear anywhere between an 8 and 12. Currently pushing a 12 in a lot of brands but have a few Ann Taylor 8s that still fit.
- My weight has never really changed much since junior high. Always between 150 and 170. Right now I'm on the higher end and not feeling so great so want to bring it down.... I really want to see my measurements better. My waist used to be 27 and hips 39. This has all been in about the past 2 years my measurements have really started creeping up. I have a small dress form and I have busted out of it's largest setting. I want to make clothes again. :-(
- I'm 31
- No kids yet but trying for a long time on that front. So no excuse.

Egon9123

I'm not sure what build I am..I am going to assume Large.

I weight 175 lbs and I am in-between a 10-12..

My goal weight is 140. I think it is a realistic goal weight and at that weight I still look healthy.

I am 22, turning 23 years old in a few days.

I have no children but my metabolism has slowed down dramatically.

-medium build, wide rib cage, wide pelvis but without much dip in the waist (ruler shape)
-6-8 depending on brand (I did giggle like a little girl when I found a "4" that fit but I'm not really that size.) It's my thighs that have to find the fit, the waist is usually a bit loose despite my mostly ruler shape and I will get pants taken in at the waist.
-135 and it's what I weigh at the moment. I'm just continuing with body recomp through strength training after losing 25 lbs
-34
-no kids

sleepytexan

-what kind of build are you? small or medium

- how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? 140.2 size 6 (but I never wear pants--skirts all the time)

- what is your goal weight and why? 130 - 135. That's what I like to see on the scale. I was 127 for most of my adult life, but I am a heavy lifter for over 2 years now. Just haven't been eating well in the last several months and crept back up to my max of 142. Back on it for a week now. 140 is my psychological limit.

- how old are you 46

- and have you had any kids? 6 pregnancies; 3 c-sections, 3 losses, 1 adopted for total of 4 kids.

To you ladies who are 5'4", some questions

- what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)

I'll answer my own questions too
- I am medium build
- I am 153 and in size 12 pants
- right now my goal weight is 140 mainly because I have no clue last time I was below 150 (my pre-babies weight) and its considered a healthy weight whereas I am considered overweight currently
- I am 30
- I have had 2 kids, both by c section, so have the below the belly button pooch and clothes that fit me at this weight pre kids don't fit me or don't fit the same, kids have defintely changed my body, especially in the hips/belly area

(and anyone that wants to add me as a friend, feel free to )

I'm medium build.
155 and size 9
Goal is 125 but it's a rather arbitrary number. I would rather go by body fat %, and that goal is 22-25%.
I'm 40 and no kids.

The last time I weighed around 125, I looked sickly, with spindly legs, and it was due to an ongoing medical issue which has long since been resolved. I've added lots of weight training to avoid that look. I don't want to be skinny or have stick legs.

lmeskd

- I think I'm either small or medium frame. My measurements are 33" bust, 24" waist, 34" hips.
- I usually wear a size 4. I'm sitting at around 120lbs.
- My goal weight is around 105lbs. I think I'll be happy around there.
- I am 24
- I've never had kids and I don't plan to. Not before I'm 30 anyway.

-5'3.5"
-Medium build w/ broad shoulders
-I wear around a size 10 pants, 28-30" waist pants, and I weigh around 163 currently
-Goal weight around 140 (130 would be amazing, though.) Same thing, I kind of pulled this number out of no where and will adjust as I get closer.
-29
-No kids, but I've had several surgeries that required the same incision (plus some) as a c-section, and I have the same annoying pooch that didn't exist before.

LEDrain

Small build.
108 lbs now & pants fit me weirdly...I change size so much between brands, so anywhere from 2-5!
My goal weight is 106ish...it's mostly just to maintain though, because I am recovering from an ED.
I'll be 18 next month.
Nooooo, never having kids!

5'4 / 130

--- I always thought I was large built.. but after losing 50 lbs I would say medium. I have wider/developed shoulders and hips.
--- Currently weight 130 and I am wearing 2/4 pants for the most part
--- Original goal weight was 128.8 because that was exactly 50 lbs from my heaviest. Now I am thinking my new goal will be between 120 and 125.
--- I am 35 and was fat most of my life. Lost most of the 50 lbs in the last 15 months with the help of crossfit, paleo-ish food, and running.
--- no kids

I'm probably a medium build
I weigh 174 (down from 196 woo!) and right now I usually wear a 12.
My goal weight is 150ish because I like my curves Once I'm there I'll evaluate if I need to go lower.
I'm 23
I don't have any kids.

My metabolism slowed down a lot too! I could eat whatever I wanted but I didn't change my habits so I got up to 196 before realizing that things needed to change.
