    I'm 5'5, but my license says 5'4 LOL does tht count? I'll answer anyways.

    - what kind of build are you? Small
    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? 134.6 and I typically wear and 8/9, but I can fit in a 6/7 I just don't wear them because they give me muffin top. Actually my AE 6s I can now get on & off w/o unbuttoning lol Who knows what size I really am cuz of my stupid stomach & love handles lol
    - what is your goal weight and why? 120-125, because I'm still pretty at my weight now, so I kno I'll have to go lower. Mayb even past 120. Not sure yet. I'm trying to focus on building muscle right now, so weight isn't a big issue, although I would like to end up somewhere in the 120s.
    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing) 24
    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) ) Nope

    - I'm 5'4.5" with a large build.
    - I am currently 221 lbs and wear a size 18.
    - My goal weight would be between 135 to a lean 150lbs. I weighed 115lbs when I met my hubby (when I was 17) but I was just a kid and have more muscle mass now so no chance of me weighing that again... unless I starved myself!!!
    - I am 31 years old.
    - Two boys who I had naturally and they were both in the 98th percentile. Wrecked my tummy!

    - I am 5'4.5"

    - I think I am medium. I am hourglass-shaped, or barrel-chested acording to my family 

    -  I think I'm about 129. Have gained a few pounds back from changing bc pills, and will get an official weight from my doctor this week.  My average pant size is a 6 or 8 depending if I am wearing a juniors size or not. 

    -  My goal weight is 120. That is a weight I know I have been fit with a good balance of muscle and curves. 

    -  I am 38. 

    - I have two kids, first was a c-section and second was a VBAC. I got stretched out in both directions. LOL

    - I'm a medium-large build

    - Weighed this morning; came in at 203.6. My highest weight was 212. I wear a size 16P jean, as my legs are short petites fit far better.

    - About 145. For our height, BMI wants us around 125-135ish, however, I have a bigger bone structure and am very curvy. I doubt I'd be able to make it to my 'correct' BMI level, BUT I know I'd be HEALTHY at 145.

    - 23

    - None.

    ALSO, I'm going to try and add a bunch of y'all as friends, especially if you're near my current weight/goal. ^^ PREPARE FOR FRIEND REQUESTS!

    - what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)
    I am medium build I would say but others say large...


    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
    I am at 180.4 and wear 14/16 but sometimes 12s.

    34

    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) )
    I have 2 teenagers. I also had a full hysterectomy in 2008 and do not take hormon replacements and I have found it adds to my challages of weight loss and my mood....

    Hello! 5'4 checking in!
    I am a medium build
    I'm at 155 right now and a size 8 pants, (my weight doesn't go to my waist)
    My goal weight is 129 because that was my weight until I became pregnant. I have one lil boy. My weight gain was not from pregnancy it was from a change from active to sitting on my butt all day.
    I'm 30.
    Feel free to add me as a friend :)

    I am 5'3 1/2.....current weight 159 (down from 200).
    Size 10 pants
    medium to large (big bones?) frame
    3 kids, all by c-section (and yes, I too have the pouch)
    57 yrs old

    my biggest problem, is that I have gotten to a smaller size, but still have the weight around my waist...seems in the past that even when I lost weight, I would still look pudgy on a stick.

    Hi there:

    - what kind of build are you? - I would say a medium at least (Ukrainian heritage)

    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? - I weigh 138 and currently fit into a size 10 (I was a size 10 in high school!)

    - what is your goal weight and why? - Well, my first goal was 135 because I wanted to lose 45 lbs for my 45th birthday in August, but I feel so awesome because of my new active lifestyle, I've decided to try for 125. No particular reason, just to see if I can do it.

    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing) - A proud 45 on August 25th

    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) ) - No, I haven't had kids. I'm a teacher so that thought terrifies me!

    -I'm small build.
    -Right now I'm around 130-132 and I wear European size 38 or 36, depending on the model.
    -My goal is 110-115 because I feel better when I'm smaller and that's about as small as I can get while remaining in the healthy range.
    - I'm 18, no kids.
