    Hi ladies! Please feel free to add me too! I started at 222 after my second child was born, and I'm down to 201. I'd love to be back to the 145 I was when I got married 6.5 years ago. Wishful thinking?

    Also - anyone else out there who is frustrated by how BMI is calculated? At my tip top shape I was skinny, muscular, healthy, and 145 pounds. According to BMI calculators I was overweight. Do I just carry weight differently?

    I don't think BMI calculators take muscle and shape into consideration i.e. Women with more up top. My ideal weight by the BMI calculators is 11 stone but if I lose that much weight I look wrong. My waist goes in and so is my bust now but after having 3 kids, the heaviest being 9lb 10oz, my hips wont go in so I look like an exagerated hourglass if I lose too much.

    We'll all get there! It's really hard for me to fight my urge to under eat. I'm doing really well this time around. :)

    I started at around 220lbs last year after my 2nd baby (although I've only been using MFP for a few months) and I'm now about 168lbs. I'm aiming to be between 150-155 and then will re-evaluate.

    So although I'm not over 200 now, I was last year so I know what it's like.

    Feel free to add me.

    I recently just had a baby and in September 2012 I weighed 248. I currently weigh 208. I lost alot of baby weight and then I just took advantage of that and kept going.... Now, I'm starting to lose steam so I could definitely use some motivation!!

    I could also use new meal ideas/snack ideas. I get tired of the same old stuff! :)

    HW - Dec 28th 2011 - 273 :noway:
    CW (as of this am) 201.6 :laugh:
    Onderland - 11/25/2012 ???
    1st goal - 170
    2nd goal - 150 ( will sit there and see if the body can sustain this easily)

    I think the Charts 'suggested weight - 136' may not be realistic - I am a big boned petite 5'2" lady. So 1st Ultimate goal - 150. As some others have said - not sure when I was lst in onderland but it was when I was in grade school or junior high. :blushing: :ohwell:

    I have an open diary - and some days - not as good as it should be. I had Lapband surgery on 6/28/12. I have since lost 37 pounds since.

    Anyone who would like to add me - feel free. I am on every day and post encouragement for friends most days..

    Hello, you can add me. I started at 271 and I am, currently 234. My goal is 168 which is the high point of the normal range for my height but will see how it goes and stop when I'm happy with how I look.
