    5'9" +

    SW: 278
    GW: 175
    2nd GW: 165
    Current Weight: 153.2

    I went into maintenance at 165 and have continued to lose very slowly over the last few months. I don't want to lose below 150, so if it continues, I'll need to up my calories even more. At 40 years old, every additional pound I lose ages me. :blushing:

    I'm 5'8
    SW: 181
    CW: 158-160 (fluctuates)
    GW: 150

    I was in maintenance for months. Now I've decided i would like to get down to 150 (for number sake) or at least be a comfortable size 4. I'm between a 4-6 now. I used to be curvy, but now I'm more pear shaped. I'm trying to get used to it. Otherwise, I am really content with heavy lifting and shedding inches more so than lbs. Add me if you like.

    5'8 and 3/4 here, but I am a sloucher! (28 y/o)

    SW/CW: 181ish
    GW: 145-150ish?, but goal of 169 first to match my adult-lightest, then a goal of 163 to get into the Normal BMI range.

    Feel free to add me! Would be great to find people along the same path. I have 2 "friends" so far and they are super nice and encouraging.

    SW: 140
    CW: 134
    GW: 120-130

    My goal is mostly to fit back into my old jeans (I can't afford new ones) and when I fit in them I fluctuated between 120-125. However, I've started weight training, so I imagine if I lean out I could be a higher weight and still fit into them.

    SW: 205
    CW: 156
    GW: 154-ish

    I am pretty much where I want to be, I just have this magic number of 70kg in my head that I never have been at in my adult life, so I want to see whether it's achievable. I am now looking to get fitter and leaner, I have noticed that since losing weight, I am enjoying exercise more, am faster and more flexible, so should be manageable!

    CW - 211
    GW - Don't know maybe 175?

    I keep stalling due to real life getting in the way, re-training for new job and think I feel better going for interviews slimmer. I love BodyPump and BodyCombat....so I tend to lose inches rather than weight.

    Liking this feed.....feel free to add me if you like ;0) and then I'll add you xxx

    5’8”

    I started at 191 lbs and my goal is 158 which is still at the top of the healthy BMI but is the weight I used to weigh and felt happy and comfortable at. I was a UK size 12-14 when I weighed this weight.

    My current weight is 182 so I have 24 lbs and 2 dress sizes to go.

    I try to stay under 1600 calories a day and usually work out 2-3 times a week. I am going to try and increase my exercise to 5 times a week though as I prefer to exercise than lose calories. I usually do a 45 min workout of some jogging to warn up and some resistance or weights – e.g. a few rounds of Tabata or the Spartacus.

    So weird how different weights wear different sizes. Like the one lady who was in a size 4-6 but is 140 I think she said? My hips throw off any smaller sizes even though my wrist measurement has me as a small frame.

    Start weight for me was 162, currently at 144. I'm trying to decide if I'm done. I really want my ticker to say 20lbs lost! Silly to want a number I suppose. I really would just like a lot more tone and leanness at this point.

    Hi all, I'm 5'8
    S.W. 173
    C.W. 157
    G.W. 145
    U.G.W. 140

    I think 145 would be a great achievement for me as it's a 2 stone loss, but I'm greedy and wanna go that bit lower at 140lb, we'll see!!

    Good luck all you lovely ladies and gents, hope you get your goals.xxx
