I don't care if you're a girl or a guy, I just want an opinion. I've had so many people tell me different things that I'm not really sure what my goal weight should be. I've lost 9lbs and I'm thinking 31 more should do the trick...thoughts?

I'm terrified to do this...

    I say aim for your target BMI range, then work on what you think looks/feels good to you.

    I originally thought my goal weight was 120...then 115...then 110. Basically what Im saying is keep working til your happy with what you see in the mirror because its tough to guess what weight you'll look your best at.

    What do you weigh? You don't look like you need to loose any weight. No way 40 pounds. I'd go with weight training.

    I think you look good. . .I would go for the toning and not worry about weight. I am in the same spot.

    Opinion alert!

    31lbs from where? You gonna cut an arm off? If that was my body...and holy smokes I'd be happy...I'd move to a small cut of my TDEE and start Stronglifts 5X5, New Rules of Lifting for Women or Chalean Extreme. At this point something with weights will take care of any remaining fat loss you'd like to see while giving you firm body.

    i'd say no weight. eat at a slight deficit and focus more on doing weights and transforming your body that way

    Honey, idk if you can't get 31lbs from anywhere! I think everyone else's advice is good when they say to am for your goal weight. 31lbs may be pushing it though since you've already lost 9 and you're pretty small already.

    honestly, I think maybe a stone. maybe less. I would focus on weight training though, and eating at a small deficit, aim to lose 0.5-1 lb a week.

    See how you look in a stones time, or stop if you're happy before that, and work from there

    You look like you just need to tone up and that's it.

    I definitely don't think 31 lbs should come off of you, you look great already! Like the others, I think you should focus on toning up more than weight loss. Congrats on losing 9 already! With eating right and toning up, you may find you lose enough that you won't have to worry about losing any more. Best of luck! Do what makes you feel good!
