    I'm 167cm (5'5) and about 60kg (132),so my BMI is 21.5.. My main aim is to get fitter and 'tone up' so I'm only trying to lose a few kilos. Still I'm struggeling at it. It's kind of frustrating when everybody who has more to lose seems to get rid of a couple of pounds every week while my scale hardly ever budges (if it does it's usually only water weight). Of course it's good for them! I support everyone who wants to become healthier, but it's discouraging me sometimes. I guess I need more friends with relative small weight loss goals. So if anybody wants to add me, go ahead. :)

    I'm 5'7" and started MFP with a BMI of 24.2. I'm going for a BMI of 22 which for me is 140 lbs. The weight is coming off and so far I haven't plateaued. I'm trying to switch up my workouts to keep my body guessing. :wink: If anyone wants to add me feel free! :happy:

    Same stats as me. How many calories are you eating and burning with exercise? How much a week are you losing?

    I think the "normal" weight ranges are rubbish. I can be about 25-30 lbs heavier than where I am ... I should never be more than 8 pounds heavier or 3 pounds lighter than where I am. I feel great.

    When I was 8 pounds heavier than where I am the weight has come off very slowly, but that is ok.

    for the quick reference - 5'8" tall, 131 pounds, 54 years old. If you want to talk about getting and staying within your own personal range, feel free to add me.
