    I have to agree with LorinalLynn - don't get hung up on the scale. It will cause so much stress and will actually hurt your results. The main thing to remember is that muscle weighs more than fat. When I was in the Army, I saw a nutrition and she asked me what I would like to get down to. I told her I was shooting for 145. She laughed at me. Not because it wasn't doable but because with my height, body frame and muscle mass, I would literally look sick and anorexic. A little meat on your bones is healthy. Now I did eventually get down to 145 but you could see my bones sticking out in certain picks. It is doable, but I think I would rather have the muscle then focus on the scale. Recently, I have been doing P90X. I was getting really disgusted because in the first 30 days it seemed like the scale never budged. I am posting the link to were I have been documenting my journey. Currently I am on Day 80 and only have 10 more days to go to finish the full 90 days. However, at Day 30 I had only lost 3.3 pounds (which you can see the results on Day 29 because that was my weigh in day. However, Day 30 is where the picture is. It is a big difference. Funny cause I didn't notice it until I took the picture. But, you would never guess I only lost 3.3 pounds!

    Muscle does not weight more than fat. 1 pound of muscle= 1 pound of fat,muscle is just more dense.

    MY highest was 138 I got down to 123 but gained a few recently i fluctuate between around 130-128 these days trying to maintain 125-120 but it's very hard for me my body is comfortable at 130/128!!! :( I'll send you a photo via email I'm just computer illiterate can't figure out how to post it here :) lol feel free to friend me also we can motivate eachother !!!

    Exactly true for me, as well! I started at 145-150 (5' 7")and got down to 125, but it was VERY hard to maintain. I am now always between 128-130 and that is where my body is happiest, so I am just going to stay right there and tone up :).

    Hmm yes, I am 5'8.5" and at 125 I would be insanely skinny.

    How tall are you guys?

    I would like to get to 150 I just can't see myself into the 130's at my height and frame, I would be very very skinny.

    However I share the pain on the boob loss, down to a 34B already.

    i am 5'7 as well i am small framed so i look chunky at anything higher then 135. i dont feel comfortable at all when i am that high i feel most comfortable with my body when i am under 130s

    Love your look. You might be 140 but your bodyfat is probably lower than most people who are in the 120's and 130's! You look great and prove it's more than just weight. Beautiful!!

    The pics posted on here are so inspiring.

    I'm 5ft 7" and currently weigh 163.5lbs

    I used to be approx 135 before I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid and hit 185lbs!!

    Glad i'm losing again now and really want to get to 130/135 again - would love to be more toned this time though ;-D

    Holiday in June so i'm on a mission!

    Anyone feel free to add me - I'm very supportive and have an open diary.

    Good luck hitting your ideal weights ladies!!

    Woahhhhhhhhhh. I am not buff. Nor will I probably ever be. I just run. It's what I love and I'm too lazy for anything else. I never stop moving though... Always bouncing around and I thankfully have too much energy.

    Anyway.... I started in the mid 140s and now I'm down to 133. In college I was at 123 at my HIGHest so I would love to get back there. Been stuck at around 133 for a couple of weeks now.

    Good luck peeps! We can do this!
