    My highest weight was 215. I started on here at 209, my CW is 155 and my goal is 145. The last 10 pounds have been a real ***** to lose!

    I'm that awkward height between 5ft 5 and 5ft 6 - 5ft 5.6 inches exactly.

    Starting Weight (gulp) - 297lbs
    Current Weight - 237.4lbs
    Goal Weight - 140lbs - But, to be honest, whenever I am happy and healthy and can sustain my weight properly. I'm not that fussed about the scales.

    I want to get to 18-20% BF as my ultimate goal. Not sure what my weight will be at that point. It's currently at 37.7%, and I started at 42% :)

    That's a healthy BMI at 150 and it's getting really hard to lose!

    HI, I'm 5ft 6, started out at 214lbs and would love to get to 140lb, that will the slimmest I've been since high school, 21 years ago! Also have a larger frame and know I will really struggle with the last stone :ohwel:

    I saw one of your previous posts about losing in the 1st couple of weeks and then not losing anything - how did you manage to get over that? I'm having the same problem at the moment, I think I really need to rethink what I'm eating, when and my exercise too. :smile:

    I'm between 5'5" and 5'6" just now.

    Start weight: around 190 odd lbs (I don't remember exactly, towards the higher end of the 190s though) - I was around 7/8 months post partum after a 10lb odd baby!

    I'm not sure of my current weight after an EDNOS binge/purge relapse I'm heavier than my last recorded weight, but avoiding the scales until I get my workouts/attitude to food sorted (maybe a week on Monday and I'll check). I'd guess mid 140s though, I was mid 130s, and after 3 weeks of eating abour 4000+kcal per day it seems likely.

    My first UG was set at 126lbs (9stone exactly in the UK), however, depending on how I look I'd try for 119lbs (8.5 stone in the UK).

    I'm very similar!

    5'6"
    Very wide shoulders (ppl would tease I'm a linebacker -- use to bother me, but not anymore)
    Just sort of "stocky" kind of gal

    SW: 178 (when I started this) -- highest maybe 198-195?
    CW: 151

    Goal: 150 --- if I'm less later, then great!

    I've really started to just ensure that I'm eating good (unprocessed stuff) and the wt loss is a side effect. Keep moving so the endorphins stay up, etc.

    I no longer buy into the calories in vs calories out motto -- esp not after reading "Why We Get Fat" -- such an eye opener and so much truth!! I no longer believe if I just work out harder or eat less, then I will be lean and fit ... just not true! Its all about the quality that we eat. But I digress!

    I don't know, sometimes I think ppl shoot for too low of a number and that's all it is ... a number! I look damn good at 150 haha :)

    5'6.5 - I have a reasonably big frame, well pretty curvy anyway. At my highest I was around 190-195 (not sure exactly), now 136 and aiming for 130-133. Fell like I'm perfectly happy with my size now but just want to lose a little bit of fat off stomach and thighs.

    5'6"

    HW: 275+ (not exactly sure)
    SW: 273.8 lbs
    CW: 239,9
    GW: 185-ish & athletic

    I have quite a big frame and I have no intention of getting skinny. I want to have a soft look, not tones - I just want my legs to tone up :) That's my dream body, hope it will work out :P
