    Goal weight 155

    Maybe when I'm closer, I'll feel more like posting the current weight and starting weight! So far, since I started MPF just after Thanksgiving, I've lost 9 pounds. I had lost 13 before I found this site. So, a total of 22 lost. I was sick most of January and didn't accomplish much. Unfortunately, I just felt drained and short of breath from congestion, no loss of appetite!

    5'6" 1/2
    HW: 144lbs
    CW: 141lbs
    LW: 130lbs
    GW: None!

    My goal is to get a 28" waist (I am at 30" right now).

    I am doing Strong Lifts 5x5. I want to "bulk"' (Eat more, lift heavy & gain a lot of muscle). Then when I feel "muscly" enough, I'll cut my daily calorie requirement down & melt off any fat I gained to reveal the new muscles!

    I'm 40 years old, 5'7", 134lbs and my goal is to build muscle and really, weight is irrelevant. I'm more concerned with keeping my metabolism revving in my 40s and looking good naked lol And also out-performing my 20 year old self! Sending FR now!

    Had knee replacement surgery and just now starting to workout its very difficult because I still have to have another surgery on the same knee again. I refuse to be deterred though! Getting married soon and I have to not only feel great but look great also.

    It's always so interesting to see the differences in goal weights, despite the same heights.

    I'm 5'7.5''
    SW: 222
    CW: 169
    GW: 155

    I may adjust my GW when I get closer, but as of now, I can't imagine needing/wanting to go any lower. I still want to have some curves :) and I want to be able to maintain where ever I decided is my "ideal" weight.

    I know 180 still seems overweight, but I've never been a skinny girl. I weighed 180 at my healthiest even when running and lifting weights. Anything after 180 would be awesome, but that's my goal for right now. :)

    GW: Was 145 but surpassed it. I would love to get away from the scale. I will take any weight between 140-148. Eating at a deficit can be depleting.

    It seems my goal weight is higher then most, But i suppose when i get there i will evaluate and see how much more i want to lose:)

    sw: 235

    cw: 229

    gw: 180

    So I am curious does 180 seem like too much for 5'7?
    My goal weight is 180 too!

    I'm a stay-at-home mom with 2 kids at home with me. I find it hard to fit working out into our day but I'm managing most days. Also finding it tough to lose the last 10 lbs. Will try eating "cleaner". :)
