    I was thinking between 330 and 335lbs. Havent a clue what someone with his height and weight would look like though.. Tried to google it but couldnt find a thing! I have 8 months - i am currently 152lbs and hope to get to my goal within 8 months. Do you think this is possible? x
  • I am 5'5" and targeting 140. It depends on your build.

    My low is 128. I was pretty skinny and it was 15 years ago.

    I am thinking the same range as you. My doctor and I have set 150 as my goal weight for my TOPS group, but that was when I was still at just over 200 lbs. My original goal weight for TOPS was 190. I would like to get down to 140 (allowing myself +/- 5 lbs from that point). At 140 I will have lost 100 lbs total.

    Thats amazing. I used to be nearly 13 stone but managed to lose 20lbs. It feels amazing when you lose weight doesnt it. Keep up the good work x

    What was your starting weight? You can do it, just stay positive. We all have bad days and good days (today, yesterday and the day before were all bad days), i find it so hard to stay under my 1420 daily calorie goal!! But we can do it!! Do you come on here every day?

    Typically at 5 ft 100 pounds then add 5 pounds for every inch so 5' 5" would be 125 pounds. I'm 5'7" and a good weight for me is between 138-140.

    My low weight was 115, but when I was running track and playing volleyball with a decent amount of muscle I was 135 and I was very happy there.

    Start Weight - 184 on 11/14
    1st Goal weight - 157
    2nd goal weight 140
    Ultimate goal weight - 130-135

    Current Weight 166 as of 1/9

    Sana - I eat between 1100-1200 calories on non workout days and no more than 1400 on workout days even if I burn more calories working out I don't eat them all back.
  • I am 5'5 and plan to get down to 140lbs. I am 214 and I am giving myself until August to reach this goal.

I find it hard to even get to 1000 cals these days! yes we will do it! yup I'm on a lot i have the app so i update pretty often. but i can't get on the boards from the app #sux

    I am currently 152lbs (after losing 20lbs) and am on a bit of a plato! However, my daily goal is 1420 cals. I find it helps to have a salad for lunch and when you get a sweet tooth try no added sugar hatleys strawberry jelly. Its 3 calories and always a good alternative to choc x

    I'm going for 125. I think it just depends on the person.
  • After having my son, I am hoping to get to 126, I am 136 at the moment, Started off at 154, 3 months after my son was born. :smile:

    Well, I'm 5 ft 5 and at 140 I'm skin and bones. It really depends on your build. I'm a pretty solid person, at 160 I'm in a size 10 and that is my goal.

    Maybe your losing inches instead of weight. Have you measured yourself?

    I'm 5'5, have a broad bone structure and a lot of natural muscle - I'm shooting for 140-150 give or take. Just depends on how I feel when i get that - I thought I was still fat after losing 90lbs and weighing 166, but that had a lot to do with my mind too.. LOL

    I am 5'5" hope between 150-165 is my goal. But to decide once I get there I have never been that skinny. But have a very big frame(boy size) so we shall see :)
