    I know this isn't what you are looking for, but I am in the same boat as you. I'm not huge but I almost feel like I can't get skinny. I know it's possible. It will just be really crazy... How tall are you and what's your goal weight?

    I am the same! I have always been a size 14/16 (Aus) and I am quite tall so I am "carry my weight well" as my mother would say (thanks mum ;p) but I cannot wait until I am skinny or just smaller, I am so excited to see what I look like and excited for people to start noticing!! :D

    Count me in....I've shed 45lbs, 22kgs in a year....I'm still trying to get my brain to believe what the eyes see...Have always had a weight problem and probably would have continued having a weight problem if I hadn't had this remarkable site recommended to me...I'm 5.8" so felt that it didn't really show...boy, was I wrong....The new 'me' is my profile photo...:-}

    I think I was last skinny when I was 16 or so.

    And even then I thought I was fat.

    I was a chubby kid that turned into an obese teenage. Not pretty. When I recently saw an old high school friend she said she couldn't get over how tiny I was.

    5'

    200 lbs:

    That would be me, although I don't think of myself as skinny. At my heaviest I was 287 pounds and I am currently 166. My personal goal weight is 140, but I would be happy with 150.

    I was always the big girl and then was just fat. In 2003 I weighed 230lbs and started WW. I weighed 137 when I reached goal and felt great. I gained it back so I'm doing it again.

    I do not consider myself skinny, but this is the slimmest I've ever been. :)

    Well you are all very inspiring!
  • I've never been skinny and I don't want to be. I've always been a size 14/16 and my goal is to wear a loose 12. I was close to a 12 at one time and everyone said I looked amazing. I thought I did too. That's where I want to be.

    I've never been really big, but I spent most of my adult life being 20-30 pounds overweight until I started using MFP in 2009. I don't aspire to be "skinny," but I'm the leanest and smallest I've ever been. I'm 5'6" and weigh between 140 and 145, which allows me to rock my size 4 jeans.
