what are your starting weights and goal weights? and age?

I'm 21 years old. My starting weight was 230, and I am currently 216. My goal is between 140-160. I just want to be decently in shape.

    Im 26. My starting weight was 217 and right now my goal is 165. Once I get there, I will reevaluate if I want to go lower, because I have never been at that weight, so I dont know how it will look on me.

    I'm 23 years old with a starting weight of 262.4 pounds. I'm currently 259.3 pounds. My goal weight is between 130 and 150, so I chose to aim for 140. But like the OP said:
    I just want to be decently in shape.

    I am 33 but started at the age of 32 and I am 5.4" and weighed 171.4 pounds. My goal weight was 135, then 130, then 125, and then 122.......now I weigh 114.6 and need to eat more. I have been having problems getting above 1400 calories because I am so stressed right now I can't eat. So now I use MFP as a tool to help make sure I eat enough instead of eating too little. Good luck on your weightloss journey.

    I might lower my GW when I reach 130. In the end I want to go by my measurements more than I want to go by weight alone. When I lose my flabby bits, I'm done. Whether that's at 130 or 110 remains to be known as of yet.

    GW: was 150, but I'm maintaining right now, I would definitely like to get into that 18-20% BF range though!! (I think I am currently about 26 now--just going by calculators, don't have an accurate way to measure)

    ETA: by maintaining I mean, I am no longer losing, I never actually reached the 150 number on the scale ;)
