Whats your goal?

kirianna55

I am currently 272 pounds and looking to get close to 180 pounds. I am 5'7". Vanessa Marino is my inspiration for weight loss. I have seen pictures of her posted on MFP saying that she is overweight but she is gorgeous. I don't want to end up having my ribs stick out too much. What do you guys think?

My goal:

deb3129

She is beautiful! Though by todays standards, most people would think she is overweight. I started at 338, and am currently 238. My goal is somewhere around 150 I think, I will decide for sure when I get closer. Oh, and I am 5'7''

I think thats a good goal to start off with. When you get closer you may change your mind. I started at 277 lbs. Originally i wanted to lost 50 lbs because i thought i couldnt do it. Then i said 177, so i lose 100 lbs. Now im getting closer, at 195 lbs and i know i dont want to stop at 177. 157 is my goal i believe.

I don't want to be 100% flat and I don't want to be too small.

I think if that is what you like, then you go for it It's YOUR body, so you get to choose. She is lovely.
This is more what I wanat, minus the boobs lol cuz mine are no where near tht big. And we have a different shape. But she is my inspiration

I am currently 185, and I want to get down to 140, where I was before I quit smoking.
I want to limit the amount of times I'm going to the chiropractor. I want to feel better about myself. I was never really skinny and don't have that a goal, but to get down to a reasonable size for my height 5'1"

I started @ 220 and want to get down to around 160. Im 5'8

I am currently at 169 pds and want to get down to 145 pds. I am 5 ft 6. So, I have 24 pds to go. That is better than when I started on MFP and had 54 pounds to lose at 199.6. Slowly, but surely I am getting there.

To be honest I want to look like the model I posted and be somewhere between a size 10-12. I am currently just fitting into a size 18.

Keep in mind that you may or may not be able to look like her. It's depends heavily on ur shape. I know I could NEVER look like her. I can tell that my waist & hips are smaller than hers, but she has a flat belly & I still have a pooch. You WILL look great when you get to ur goal, but try not to b very focused on looking like someone in particular.

If that's overweight, GOD let it happen to me LOL. She may not fit the BMI index, but there is more to health than that. I love her confidence in who she is.

To be honest, I am a spoon shape. I have a 48 inch chest, 40 inch waist, and 52 inch hips.

No kidding right

I started out at 267, Ive lost 50 lbs and am at a stall. Im eatting like I should, but cant do much cardio, I am sick with Ebstien Barr (mono) which if you had as a teen can reoccusr at will. ugh.I am also going through with drwarls from pain meds, Ive been on forever. Nothing like a double whammy. Anyway, when i can I will get back to walkin, (winter cycling indoors) I also found a work out on Net Flix for people in pain... that I think I will start later today. I accept that I am on a plateau, with my illness and all. But I am still eattin healthy and will do some kind of moving. I am 5'3" my goal is 135-140. I want to tone, and will lift weights to do that. Im not sure when to start lifing. I know as big as my tummy is I will never look like any of these gals you want to look like, unless I have a tummy tuck, but who has 5k? I will have to look for someone who has my bone stucture, height to want to look like. At this point I just want to be in good shape, nice and toned. I have a breast reduction, so at least those are perky. haha.

The first time I started weight watchers I was 196. I got all the way to 114 and then boomeranged back to 147. Now I joined MFP in January with a goal of 120 but once I start losing it seems to just keep going and now I am 112.

misspowerz

im currently 190. im trying to lose the last of my baby weight. i gained 5 stone during pregnancy due to a condition i had and have lost 3st 4 so far. hoping to get to 160ish

LiqueLique89

I started out at 194 lbs [in march 2011]. Then I gained 3lbs so 197 was my highest [august 2011]. I'm currently 168 and my goal is to be between 130 and 135 lbs. I'm 5'2", so that should be a good goal for me.

ambate2

Go with what feels best for Y.O.U. I'm 5'2" - started MFP at 200, currently at 160, goal of 130. My original goal was 150 but as I realized I could DO this, I adjusted it to where my BMI was no longer overweight.

kirianna55

Thanks all

My goal is to get down to 140 which should put me on the line for a healthy weight and get my doctor off my back, and lower my blood pressure enough that sodium isn't the King/Queen of my Diet.

I don't think I'll look any better than I do now, perhaps a lighter version of how I look right now, but the same shape. I'll still have the gut and butt.

TattedInStilettos

Im 5"4 and i weigh 255lbs my goal is to get down to at least 200 flat... I would love to have at least 25 of those lbs gone be bday in December...

Gallowmere1984

My goal is to one day make Stan Efferding look like a guy who might have done a few pullups in comparison. I'm in the lifting world for the long haul, not a quick 'ahmaighad fix me'.

axialmeow

I am 5ft 9in. My goal is about 180lbs. I feel like that is still heavy but I honestly cannot even imagine being under 200lbs. I have been over 200lbs since grade school. So, if I ever get to 180 I will see how I feel!

I'm spoon shaped too. Or high hip hourglass, figure 8. So many names for our shape lol.

I hold most of my weight in my tummy too.

adelitas_star

My goal is about 118 - 125, if I weigh more because of muscle, then that's alright. As long as it's not much about like 133. And, just so people know, I'm really short, like 5'3".

goldair23

I'm starting at 165 (I'm 5'7) and my goal is 140. And then maybe 135 if I'm still not happy, but I feel like 140-145 would be good for me x

pbajwally

Go with what feels best for Y.O.U. I'm 5'2" - started MFP at 200, currently at 160, goal of 130. My original goal was 150 but as I realized I could DO this, I adjusted it to where my BMI was no longer overweight.

^This. I'm 5'3, started out at 223 and I'm currently 193. My ultimate goal is somewhere between 120-130 but above all, I want to feel good, healthy and comfortable with my body.

gmallan

My goal is 136, I'm 5'4" and have about 10lbs to go.

She is beautiful but keep in mind that everyone holds weight differently. Someone the same height and weight as her may look completely different depending on weight distribution and BF%. Sounds like a good goal for now but you can always reassess once you get there. Good luck!

kallisto208

I'm 5'6" and I have a total end goal of 150 which is where I was before I joined the Navy 10 years ago but my short term goal right now is 200. I started 2 years ago not very seriously at 294 when I was hospitalized and finally got the slap in the face that things had gotten out of control. Got serious about things about 6 months ago and now I'm down to 225 and almost at my short term goal. 70 lbs to go, half way, I'm pretty damn happy with that so far

mymission130

I think if that is what you like, then you go for it It's YOUR body, so you get to choose. She is lovely.
This is more what I wanat, minus the boobs lol cuz mine are no where near tht big. And we have a different shape. But she is my inspiration

I would have to agree with you!!! I would love to have that body by December!!!

ntmr4

I would like to get down to 137-140 before New Year! I am 148 right now, and 5'4"
