5'6" /200lbs/ 40 to lose/ hourglass . I noticed alot of ppl are aiming for 110s to 130s who are my height. and frankly anything below 155 is too small for my frame. Im busty and hippie. and I look sick when I hit the 150s (in my opinion). Feeling alone. Im only speaking about me and my frame. I know lots of ladies my height who look lovely and carry 130s and below very well. :happy: I dont however. .Most ppl aiming for higher numbers start higher than me I noticed and are also taller or a little older. Curious to find anyone else with similar stats and on a similar journey as I.

    25/f/5'7"/204lbs/40 to lose

    I'm looking for 170 first then I will see if 160 or 165 looks good. I was 155 as a teenager and VERY skinny.

    If you'd like to send me a friend request, it would be nice to have people with similar goals :)

    Sounds like me! I'm 5'6", aiming for 150. I like my curves, and I'm working on building muscle, too.

    I'm 5"5' and aiming for 126, but I'm starting to think I'll just stop on the way to it when it looks about right. 153 was when I started and that did not make me look sick. Maybe it's just people's different shapes?

    I'm not your age, but I'm 5'6" and busty. I started at ALMOST 225. The reason I started this journey was cuz I was SOOOOOOO close to being 1/8 of a TON!!! I'm thinking about 160 pounds would be final good for me, so, no, you are not alone.

    Hey, we sound very similar. I am 30 y/o and 5'7. I weigh 195 now and am looking to get down to 150-160. I also have an hourglass figure and if I tried to be the size my bmi says I should, I would look I was on drugs! (Not to mention my hubby would be upset) :blushing: The smallest I have been as an adult is 187 and it didn't look bad! I honestly wouldnt mind that weight if I could tone up more!

    I am 5'6'' and about 245. I am aiming for 180 first, and then MAYBE 165, but I am busty as well, and feel like anything below that doesn't look right for me. I have been told I'm supposed to be around 127 but I think that would be too thin for my frame. My goals may change as I go, but for now any weight loss is good :)

    I felt best around 140 ish but I want to go lower. I am losing weight a completely different way this time so I may be perfectly happy with 140-150.

    We will see!

    You do what makes YOU happy!

    I'm 5' 6", and started at 216. I'm currently right around 190 (keep fluctuating between 189 and 192) and on the way down. I have my goal set based on reaching a healthy BMI (read: not overweight or obese categories) as well as overall body fat percentage averages, near a goal weight of 140. I have no idea what I will look like when I reach that - so I will wait to see what I like.

    If you are looking for friends, feel free to add me. :)

    I'm 31, 5'5 and aiming for 150. I'm the same as you, curvy (though sadly, not busty lol) and solidly built so anything under 150 would probably not be healthy for me. Even my Dr said not to go below 140.

    I'm 5'6" and when I started I was just over 200lbs. I'm down to 175 now but I'd be happy at 155-160lbs. I can't imagine being thinner/lighter than that because I think I'd look sickly. When I was a teenager I was around 125lbs and early 20's I was up to 145. I think working out has actually made me look better at this heavier weight than I did when I was thinner, just because I'm fit and feel healthy.

    Yes I am larger framed i guess. Broad shoulders, wide hips. I was 124 in the 9th grade, then 150 in the 10th which looked way better. But I was also a teenager, and my hips hadnt come in fully.lol. I know that everyone is shaped different, which is why I was hoping to find ppl with similar builds as me. I know other ppl my height who look lovely under 150, under 130 even. Just not me unfortunately

    When I was heavier (basically my whole life from early teens on) I thought that I would look good, and "not too skinny" at 180. I was laughably wrong. I'm currently 160, and look nowhere near skinny. Even at a low weight of 135, I didn't look particularly skinny. Set whatever goal you want for now, but try to keep an open mind.

    Well weights a personal issue and you know your body best. If you think you will look sickly and won't feel at your best at a smaller weight then focus on the weight you want to achieve. I'm 5'6 and currently 202, and I know for myself I look and feel best at 130.

    I'm actually aiming higher -

    i'm 27 / f / 5'7"/220 lbs / 50 to lose / hourglass


    170 is very difficult for me to maintain, and anything less than that is too thin on my frame...
    Ihope i can reach my goal and maintain if possible, but I was very happy with how I looked at 180

    I'm not busty but I'm definitely hippy! My first goal is 160. I'll keep going until I like how I look though. I've always been pretty chunky so I'm not sure what weight looks good on me. Feel free to add me! :)

    I'm 5'2" and my goal is 130. I'm sure it'll change once I get there, but that's what it is for now.

    Now.. the subject title made me think of the old AOL chat rooms.. A/S/L PLZ

    I'm 5'6, 250, looking to get to 165. That number isn't set in stone but it's something to shoot for. I think anything less than 155-160 and I'll look sick. I'm an apple shape (maybe).

    5'7/197 looking to get down to 155lbs. I don't want to be any skinnier than that otherwise my butt would look extra huge. It kinda funny cuz eight now my butt looks alomst proportionate with the rest of my body but I want to lose the weight hopefully my *kitten* will shrink but I that's wishful thinking seeing that I have always had a huge butt.

    I just turned 28, I'mm 5'5 and I still have 31 lbs to lose to get to my mini goal of 160. I'm also an hourglass figure.... 34DDD and 36" waist and 47" hips........ /i actually think once I hit my 1st goal of 160lbs /i will maintain for a while and see how i feel...... don't let others determine how you should feel in your own body... plus, if you are doing any kind of intense strength training like I am, I do Insanity, then 150lbs will actually look more like a very toned in shape 130lbs..... I am a size 12 right now and 191lbs.... back in teh day when I was a size 12 I was closer to 160-170, so muscle mass makes a huge difference..... so don't aim to much for a weight, but a size instead :) Feel free to add me, I'm alwasy on here and always welcoming new friends that are into doing this healthy L)

    19/f/5"4/188Ibs/57 to lose

    I want to be 9 and a half stone, I want to weigh less than my mum and for her to be proud of me, once I get to about that weight and if I look too skinny or lose my curves, I think I will gain a bit more, it will depend on what I look like at the time.

    I completely understand that. When I was 185 I didnt look too bad either. Just definitely need to tighten up. But 160, 165 makes me feel pretty.lol. with all this weight lifting 170 isnt looking too bad though. I guess I will see. 170 would make my goal weight 15lbs closer too. (starting to sound pretty good now too.lol)

    Thats a really good point about the weight lifting. I look totally differnt now at 198 then I did at 185. They kind of look similar actually because I wasnt working out before when I was smaller and now i have been working out for the last 2 months. My weight is definitely better adjusted on the way back down.lol

    I think we're twins. I'm 5'6"/192/45 to lose/hourglass. I'm putting my goal at 145 because I'm aiming for a body fat % but it will most likely go to a higher number when I get closer. I'm starting weigh lifting so I know muscle is going to weigh more as well and I'm fine with it. I've lost weight before on WW and got down to 162 which was a good look so 150 might be a perfect fit. Feel free to add me on your friend list and we can track each others progress.
