Hey all!
28..about 5'6 1/2"
SW: 236 (originally 242)
CW: 215:
GW: +-140 ---> this is not really important to me. I want to be a size 6 gain but be muscular so I might weigh more than this.0 -

GW 160 for now will reevaluate when I get to that point0 -
CW: 170lbs
CBF: 23.1%
No goal weight...BF goal is 18%
I don't care what the weight...more muscle means a heavier weight... BF is the culprit that I need to get rid off:-)
^^smart way to approach - in my experience the number is skewed as it's different "optimal" weight depending on muscle and structure. When I was 20 I weighed 145LB, I wore a size 12, and I felt "fat", I was "round" lol. When I was 32 I took up Whitewater kayaking (extreme core and upper body strength) I shifted my focus on strength training and built up a strong physique, my fat % was extremely low. I wore a size 6-8 and weighed 160LB - I was obsessed with the number and thought I still needed to get down to the suggested weight of 135-140LB (I'm 5'7) Now I've gained 80LB and when I think of a goal number, I'd have to say it really depends on what my muscle structure is. I'd rather be 160 -170 and have low body fat and muscle than 140LB just to fit into a number category. I'm planning on losing 70LB0 -

SW - 145 (BF = 27-28%) - did not accurately measure, but used online sites

Goal is to reduce BF down to 22%!!0 -
-- I do not think anyone can say if it seems like too much. It's your body and you know it better than we do! I think it depends on your build, frame and musculature. I think you should aim for your goal of 180 and if you're not satisfied then you can keep going. But it seems like you're doing fantastically so far and I'm sure you'll keep it up!
^^This!! You are such a wonderfully positive person!

I have a small frame and an kind of an apple shape, so I store everything in my belly. It's funny how much bigger I look than people who post a higher weight. Frame (and muscle) really makes all the difference.0 -

Hour glass shape so a lot of weight in my boobs and hips! I don't mind being curvy as long as I'm also toned. Also - I really want to weigh less than my 6'2" 154lb (male) friend...yes he is a beampole but he also has 7 inches on me!0 -

Medium Frame, didn't really have a figure to speak of until I had kids. Now I have hips, thighs, butt...however the boobs really have always passed me by! LOL Thank goodness for Victoria Secret!
My goal really is to feel great and be fit. If that happens at 140lbs that's fine too!
Feel free to add me!0 -

GW: 132 (set by dietitians)
As part of my company employee wellness program, I also had my BF measured. Currently it's, 30% even at 140 with all the cardio I do. But that's just it, I haven't been building muscle and probably have been losing it. Even though it's not my favorite way to work out, I'm making myself go to body pump classes. Ladies, we HAVE to lift and keep our BF low. The dietitians said to shoot for 20% to 25% as a healthy range.
Keep up the good work everyone!
