so I joined MFP a few weeks ago, and have met a bunch of great, motivated people already! I would like to get down to a healthy weight of 115 and was wondering if there was anyone on here with a similar goal. Thanks!! :)

    Hiii I'm
    5'7 I've been fluctuating between 127-130lbs for months !! Would like to change that to 122-124 ish ! I got down to 123 for my wedding last summer but had a hard time Maintaining ... I made my goal new weight 120 but we will see the last few pounds have been a btch!!! My original starting mfp weight was 138/140 I was extremely chunky at that weight when I started :( just bought the eatcleandiet recharged book I'm gunna see if that gives me any info on how to step it up !!! :)

    Im 120. That being said i dont think any medical professional could tell anyone this height that 115 is a healthy place to be. No problems with people getting to that if they are exercising a ton, but dont scare people into thinking 115 is "healthy". The bmi scale has its problems but in general 115 would still be very underweight.
