    I am also trying to lose weight just for me. I have lost 9 so far and just can't get the last 4 or 5 pounds off - so frustrating

    I am! Currently I'm at 130 and want to lose about 10 more pounds. For my height that would put me at the bottom base of my healthy weight range. And it would make me feel a lot better!!

    My happy weight is 120... I was there, now back up to 127 now back to 124 - its a balance now of food and exercise - I have a hard time feeding back in after exercising... But I am working at it...
    I understand the happy weight thing - people love to tell you to eat and gain some weight - when you are perfectly happy...

    Yes, I am trying to lose the last 7 pounds that I just put back on. I was at 125 and a little under and that was at the beginning of the month, now I am up some weight and I feel yucky about it. I a, having a really hard time gaining this self control to put my life in check and to maintain the weight loss and to feel better about myself. Just these pounds I put back on have me feeling so yucky and uncomfortable in my own skin. I want to feel and be confident!!!
    Making a commitment to myself right here and now to gain control. and to stop and reverse this weight. I am starting right here, right now.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My BMI is at the high end of the healthy range. I prefer to be in the middle. That way I am in a single digit clothing size.

    I am right there with ya! When I started I was 142.5 and now I am 117.5. I am trying to be 115...these last few are hard to get rid of!! People say I don't need to lose anymore but they don't see me without my clothes on! I have finally lost my baby weight....2 little ones 14 months apart....but I just want to lose a few more.

    I am 5'6. When I first joined the site I was 126 pounds (9st) but I have now managed to lose 13lbs putting me at 113lbs and a bmi of 18.2 which is the very bottom of the healthy range. I would like to go to 110 but thats unhealthy so I probably wont and instead aim for building more muscle to look leaner

    I came on here when i was in the healthy range at around 135lbs and i'm 5' 4" but more in the middle of the healthy range, i'd like to be more near the beginning at around 105 to 110lbs so i don't have much to lose, like 10 to 15 more pounds but it's taking forever.

    Its taken me from March to now to lose that 13lbs :(

    The first 7lbs fell off and its been hard work to get down to 113... but thats because I have been building muscle at the same time as losing fat!

    Me! I've lost 30 ish pounds already so I was heavy, but I'm at a stage now where I could stop and still look / feel satisfied with my weight. But I really want to keep pushing for another 10 pounds or so just so I comfortably fit in the size I can get into now, etc.

    I'm 5'7" and currently 154 lbs. Want to be 145lbs but struggle SO MUCH MORE with these last 10 than the first 30..Am trying to do a 12-week challenge of eating right, cardio and weights to really push myself through the last 10 lbs, but it's hard to be motivated when part of me keeps going 'well, you don't NEED to lose the weight, you'refine where you are'!

    Between November 2008 and June 2009 I lost weight preparing for an athletic competition--trying to make weight for the division I wanted--and I did it without MFP. I'm 5'6" and went from around 148 to 126 at my competition weigh-in (2 pounds under the limit, yay!). I felt great, but thought I'd be a little healthier at 130, so I relaxed my routine a little. Not only did I get back to 130, I saw my weight balloon back up to 133, 135, 137... at 139 I joined MFP. I'm not competing this year, so I need some other form of discipline to keep me on track and away from the constant snacking that sabotaged my weight. I'm back down to 135, so most of the new summer clothes I bought last year fit, but I'd like to get back down to 130, and use MFP to maintain my weight there.

    I feel fine at my current weight, but realize that if I don't constantly watch what I eat, I could easily gain back everything I lost. I like how I feel and look too much to do that, so I'm really trying to reinforce the lifestyle changes that gave me success in the first place.

    Glad you posted this! I'm 5'2" and 149 pounds, I just want to be 130-135. Not too far off, but taking an eternity (my own fault mostly).

    I'm 5'3 and 156lb right now and that is considered 'over weight' for my BMI but I also just had a baby in Feb. and trying to work off the baby weight is really hard the second time around as I'm finding out :/ I want to be 130lb, it was perfect for my bone structure and I looked great at that weight...when I started here I was 160lb so I'm making progress but ppl who have more weight to lose than I do that I know as friends keep making snide comments about it and they don't understand, I may not be 'fat' compared to their calculations but it's 'fat' to ME. kinda sucks sometimes.

    5'4" and 144 lbs. as of today.
    I've had the hardest time losing this weight it's ridiculous. It's taken me 9 weeks to lose 7 lbs.
    I know it'll be a long road down to 120, but it'll be worth it!
