    I am 5'8" and currently 222, heaviest was 265 after my second was born :sad:
    My end goal is 160. That's a number I know I would be happy with and feel good about. I dont want my ribs showing.
    My immediate goal is to get under 200 which I am hoping Insanity will help with. So, I started that this week.
    I dont have many pics up right now but will post some after I get under 200.

    My main issue is boobs NEVER go down. And I have "birthing hips" LOL

    Feel free to add me if you want.

    HI! My starting weight before MFP was around 240. :noway:
    I am 5'8" and 40 years old. I wish I would have been more serious about weight loss when i was younger because at 40, it is soooooo much harder!! :sad:
    My Goal weight is 160. That puts me in a healthy BMI range. We'll see how i look when i get there.

    I am always looking for more friends on here, especiallly similar ones. I love MFP and I am on here daily (since January 2012).
    :drinker:

    Hey ladies! I am almost 5'9 and working on shedding 50lbs. Started and restarted this journey more times than I care to recall, but I am all in now. MFP has certainly helped with that. No pics yet, although at the end of the month, I might do a "before" and "current" as a way to track my progress since the scale is a mean SOB! LOL

    Please fee free to add me! :-)

    Hi, I'm 5'8 1/2 and currently weigh around 140. I started at 158, lost 23 and have put back on a few between vacations and weight lifting. I'm back into "losing" mode to get back to my happy maintenance range of 132-138.

    This picture is from before I joined MFP and it was the OMG!! moment that caused me to start MFP. I vividly remember thinking I looked good before going to dinner that night.

    This is me in February of this year, probably 138 at the time.IMG_0004-6.jpg

    (here's hoping the pictures show up!)

    Oh, and I'm 49 and have had 2 kids.

    I love this thread - I'm 5'9 and 152. The highest I've ever been was about 165 and my lowest was about 125. I maintained at 132-135 for about 3 years but I went back to school and gained 20. Good Luck to everyone and congratulations to everyone that has already met their goals.

    I'm 5'9" weighed 211# when I started focusing on my health, fitness and nutrition. Now I sit at right around 150#. (My goal was 155#). I have weighed less in my adult life (I'm 41) - weighed 140-145# in my late-20's, but haven't been this size (6-8) since I-don't-know-when. Someone else posted about weight training, and I believe that together with cardio and Yoga are the reason my body is smaller even though the scale is a bit higher. I'd be okay to stay where I'm at or lose 5-10#. But, I do enjoy eating so I'm not in any hurry! There are pics on my profile.

    Hello there! I am 5'8", currently 175, goal is 150 +/- (i'm 37, and curvy, not gonna ever be skinny per se...). I have yo-yoed for too long! Last spring I did Insanity, and looked and felt great, I loved it, but I stopped, and it crept back up... like it will. I am currenlty using brazil butt lift and shakeology from beach body, and it's helping. I used to be so much more motivated, did roller derby and taught yoga, but we moved across the country, and my motivation must be in one of my old un-packed boxes... I'm working on it though, and not giving in!

    Keep up the good work, and I'll come up with some pics to post!

    Hi everyone

    I am a 5'9" 32yr old mother of 1 (6yr old) and currently 150lbs. I want to get to 138-135lbs.

    My lowest post pregnancy weight was 138lbs (April 2011)

    I have no idea what I weighed before getting pregnant because I never ever weighed myself. I was just naturally slim whilst eating as much chocolate as I wanted lol.

    Unfortunately I cannot do that any more so I am trying to monitor my food intake but the problem I am having is deciding what calorie allowance I should be eating.

    I'm set to sedentary (desk job) MFP has given me 1310 cals for a 1lb loss per week. I want to be at my goal weight by my 33rd birthday (Jan 2013). So my question is should I stick to the 1310 cals until then or do I need to eat my bmr cals(1468 I think)

    Any ladies who have reached their goal weight,what did you do in terms of calories?

    I set my base MFP calories at 1500 and eat my exercise calories as well. If I do this, I stay within 1-3#. If I want to lose more, I'd need to set my base MFP calories at 1200. but I like food! :wink:
