    So what are you doing to lose your weight? days of workout? type of calories? weekend actvitiy?
    I'm a little taller at 5' 10.5"..

    Goal weight: 138,

    I was 238lbs (wowza) the day I gave birth (3 1/2 months ago)

    ..and am now 188 lbs, dropping daily.

    My lowest adult weight was around 135... and I can't wait to get back into my wardrobe!!!!

    I am just under 5'8 and have a pear shape. I cant get less than 145 lbs due to dead and hanging skin. I also lose all of my breast if I lose too much weight. I have had many children so I am very scarred everywhere, much too scarred to post pics. When prego I gain from about 145/155 to 200lbs, then I'm stuck at 180ish until I lose weight again. This website truely inspires me, especially when I hear of others fighting my same battle.

    I love threads like these! So nice to see a group of laides with similar stats.

    I'm technicaly 5'8 3/4" (I say 5'9")
    HW: 205
    CW: 194
    GW: 150-160ish

    I've been about 150 before but thought it was too small for my body type (hourglass), but it could have been due to how quickly I lost the weight that time. (ALL of my boobs disapeared wcich is odd becuase i'm fairly well stacked usually and come from a family full of mostly womand who all have large chest-most of them have had to have 1-2 reductions)

    Feel free to add me :)

    I'm 5'9, started at 180 and currently sit 149.. trying to get down to 140.

    I don't have any pictures to post, but if you go on my profile you can see some.

    Biggest tip I can give is lift weights. I look so much better(and my clothes are much smaller!) from lifting weights and eating at a calorie deficit.

    So how much weight and type of excersie do you reccomend. I recently went from 5 to 8 lb hand weights, doing 2 sets of 20 reps. on machines i do about 10-20 lbs, 2 sets of 15. i dont want to get bulky jus loose and tone.

    How long did it take you to lose that much weight?

    Lift as heavy as you can, you will not get bulky! Women are not built like men. Depending on the exercise I do either 3 sets of 12 or 4 sets of 10. I've lost what I've lost from lifting heavy and eating at a deficit as well

    weight looks different on everyone, especially at different ages, muscle mass etc. You can try this website which will give you pictures of people and their reported height and weight:

    Great thread! I always hate that about weight loss shows that they never mention people's height!!! 150lbs looks a hell of a lot different on someone 5' than 5'9". I joined MFP over a year ago and never really did it consistently, but trying to make this the time that sticks.I am 5'9" and I think my official starting weight was 174 though I just got serious again 2 weeks ago at about 170. CW is 167.4 and GW is 145. I've been trying to think more in terms of clothing size lately. Who is a Size 6? What weight range are you?

    Please feel free to add me as a friend! Life changes are always easier with support :) Keep up the good work ladies!!!

    Hey,

    I'm 5"8 & 3/4 and currently weigh 183, I haven't given myself a goal weight yet because I don't know what would suit me or where I'd feel happiest. Just wanted to thank everyone for sharing your stories- so inspiring
