    Hi, I'm a little shorter but have lots in common (2 C-sections, kids are 3 and 1 and a half years old)

    I'm 5'2.5" and 125 pounds medium build
    size 4-6 (cut of manufacturer makes a difference)
    Heaviest was 167 pregnant, 140 after prenancy
    would like to stay at 125 or so, I was down to 117 but lost some of the curves that I love.
    My belly pooch is pretty much gone, and feel comfy in a bikini.... all thanks to logging my food/drinks and exercise on MFP
    37 years old

    Hello there.

    I am 26 and I am about 5'4, maybe .25 in shorter who knows
    I think I am medium build, and pear shaped as someone else said. I am mostly bottom heavy and my hips/saddle bags give me a weird triangle shape.
    Current weight: 132
    Size: 2-express or 4- dress pants, levis supreme curve, sometimes 6 or 7- juniors but I don't feel like it's right. In my mind, I think I am a 6
    When I was 170 I wore a size 11 at Old Navy
    My goal weight is 120, but I don't know if I can reach it with a healthy method. I'd be happy at 125. Reason is, I was 128-131 in high school but I did heavy lifting. I feel like I could be less than that since I don't have the muscle I once did. I was 121 freshman year of high school before I gained all of my muscle.
    Oops, almost forgot- no kids. I hope to be in the best shape before I get married and pop out babies! :)

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

    - what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)
    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
    - what is your goal weight and why?
    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)
    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) )


    I am medium build
    My current weight is 142, I wear a size 9
    My goal weight is currently 125 but I am considering changing that if I am happy once I get to 130...I was always quite slim (averaged 120 to 125) and pretty lean until I hit the age of 40...then all hell broke loose!
    I'm 50 years young...lol
    I have two grown boys - 25 and 27!

    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 am a small to medium build. Not really sure which one.
    - I am 160 and in size 12 pants but they are still tight. Before I started losing weight in July I was at 178 and wearing the same size 12 and they still fit the same even though I am 18 pounds smaller. :( very frustrating
    - My ultimate goal is to be 120 but would be happy at a heavier weight if I look good.
    - I am 31
    - I have 3 kids, Naturally but I carry my weight in the tummy. I got the pregnant belly look going on. No I am not pregnant.

    - I am large build, with an hourglass shape so I've always carried my weight well.
    - I currently weigh 202 or so, and wear size 18-20 pants.
    - My goal weight is 150. I weighed 170 in high school, and I've looked into what I should weigh for my height and build, and feel that 150 would be a great weight for me, but anything less I would start to look gross.
    - I am 27
    - I have 4 kids, but only had 3 pregnancies. The twins are the one that did a number on my stomach. I see surgery in my future :(

    Hi ladies. I really believe frame size makes a difference.

    I am 5' 3.5" tall
    I have a small frame with the classic pear shape. I really do not have much muscle tone and never had.
    I currently weigh 120 lbs and am a size 4 or 6 (in jeans) if I can zip them up.
    My goal weight is 110 or less to fit back into my clothes which are mostly size 2-4.
    I am 46 years old with 2 kids via C section 10 and 12 years ago.
    I wouldn't mind weighing more if I could build some muscle.

    I'm medium build/ borderline large.

    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
    I weigh about 180lbs and I wear a 14. They are loose though, so I could probably wear 12s now.

    - what is your goal weight and why?
    I don't really have a 'goal' weight. I just want to feel good, be healthy, and look better. I think I'd like to get between 130 - 150lbs.

    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)
    I am 23, but not for much longer! I'll be 24 on Saturday.

    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) )
    Nope. I haven't had kids.

    I'm 5'3'' but I was reading and thought I should share :smile:

    - what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)
    Small, but it obviously doesn't show. The only way I know it because I still have skinny wrists and ankles. Also I am pear-shaped.

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

    Currently I'm at 232 lbs, and I dont wear pants much, but the last time I bought some, they were a size 18.

    - what is your goal weight and why?

    My current goal weight is 170 lbs because that's the last time I felt remotely comfortable in my body. Ultimately I would like to be at 140 lbs.

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

    I'm 27.

    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) )

    No kids.

    I am large build
    270 (just starting out!) size 22 pants
    my goal is 150 because I think women should have curves, and be healthy!
    42 last Sunday
    I have nine children ages 18 yrs to 7 months. two c-sections.

    People never believe I am as heavy as I am. I was a size 12/14 at my smallest as an adult, and would love to get back there.
