    I started losing weight (again) after my second pregnancy. I was 186 day of delivery and approx 172 a few months later. I got down to about 163-164 myself and them started logging here on MFP. That got me to where I am now.

    I'm 31 years old and 5'7.5
    SW-147 lbs, highest ever was probably 151
    CW-140 lbs
    GW-about 130 lbs
    I am not entirely sure of my goal weight but I think I'll be happy and pretty fit somewhere around 130 lbs. I originally thought my goal might be closer to 135 but now that I'm at 140 I can see that I have a bit more than 5 lbs to lose.

    SW 175 (a few pounds more than the day I started MFP)
    CW 167-169 depending on the day
    GW 135 - my original GW was 145 but after my personal trainer assessed me, he thinks I can get to 135 or 130. I was 120-130 all through my 20's so maybe he's right. I'm trusting him.

    More importantly...
    Current Fat % - 30% (at least I think it's 30... all I heard was 30 and then I kinda tuned out in shock... maybe it's 30-something. lol)
    Goal Fat % - 20% or less.

    I'm lifting heavy 2x/week. Yoga 2x/week. Walking/running as much as possible. When the ice and snow is gone, I'll be running even more!

    Feel free to add me for mutual motivation!

    Walk two days a week around 5 miles for work, using a pedometer, which is very surprising how many calories I burn just walking. Gym 3/week with strength training and 30 mins cardio. Tend to eat to match calories burnt, so not sure if that is hindering me.

    Well done everyone!!!

    GW: ~135ish

    I was 130 before and happy with how lean I was. I've added quite a bit more muscle since then though through bulking, so I'm aiming for a slightly higher weight. As long as I'm lean enough to not have a belly though, and show a decent amount of muscle definition in all areas then I'm happy, regardless of what weight I am.

    I'm not looking to be "skinny", but to leave some skin and still keep my hips and thighs (I don't like thigh gaps).

    Sometimes I think it would be good to get back down to 135-140, but another 5-10 pounds would force a wardrobe change, which I'm not willing to take on at this point. I'll get to 145 and see how that goes.

    BF%- last time I had it done I was at 140- and around 20% Not sure where I am now though.

    I would say that 135 is the ideal weight for my height, where I am now I look a little too thin. But I am also starting to focus on building back some muscle and toning up a bit so I hope to end up around 135.

    GW: 170 or 163

    My goal weight is questionable because I have a curvy figure and i don't want to be "skinny". Once i get to a point where I feel comfortable, I'll stop trying to lose and start maintaining. I'm not concerned about the numbers per say, but more so how i feel when i look in the mirror.

    GW 164 (healthy BMI) but I think I will shoot for 155 or 159 so I will feel comfortable about induliging sometimes and not getting big again! :)
