I am 5'7" starting weight 200
Currently 172
First goal 150 then maybe 140
I am pear shape. All my weight is in my butt and thighs. Started at size 20 jeans even though they were way to big in the stomach area. Now I am a size 14 hoping to be a size 8 some day.

    Great work losing almost 30 pounds so far.

    I am 5'6. My starting weight was 193. I'm currently 168. Since starting, I've let 2-3 inches all over and 2 sizes down to a 12. My goal right now is to be 150 and at that point I will see how I feel about losing more. I don't want to be skinny. I'd like to be a size 10 or 8 at the least. Im an apple. I've got a tummy that needs to go!!!

    I'm a little taller then you're asking but not far off.
    5'9'' and started at 167, currently 164 and am aiming for 143

    I'm a pear shape too... am very fortunate to have a rather small waist. At my best it was 26'' and now it's 29''. I want to get back down to 26'' which hopefully won't be too hard as it's the second place I lose weight (first is the bust... sigh)

    I've given up on the butt and hips. Hips are 43'' now. Absolute smallest was 41'' but getting that way was pretty unhealthy.

    I'm 5'7" and my SW was 178. My CW is 132 and while I never had a GW, I would be happy with my CW if I could just firm up what is there.

    I'm 5'6.5" ish. I weigh in my low-to-mid 130s right now (I've been sick, so I' haven't done a concrete weigh in in a couple weeks). My high weight was 169. Lowest adult weight was 108. Goal weight is around 116. Body shape is between an hourglass and a pear because my bust measurement is more than 10 inches larger than my waist, but now quite equal to my hips.

    I'm 5'6
    SW - 175.6
    GW - 140 (I'm really not too focused on the number whether it lower or higher, I just want to be healthy and have lots of muscle definition)
    I really don't know what you would call my body shape. I'm pretty proportionate in my opinion. I carry most of my weight through my legs and butt but I'm not a pear.......who knows..........just happy with where things are headed for me.

    Good Luck, Everyone.....keep on the good work.......feel free to friend me.

    I am 5'8

    Started at 185 in March....I am now 163. I am not sure what body shape I am. I am pretty sure it is b/t straight and hourglass, I also have a small body frame.

    I started at a tight size 12 and I am now almost an 8. I lost most my weight in my torso so far, but I have a long torso.

    My goal is anywhere from 135-140.

    Age: 26
    SW: 165 (more like 170-175 though)
    CW: 128
    GW: 125
    Body shape: If I check one of those online calculators each will say something different from Apple, Banana, Hourglass.... haha. My bust measurement is more than 10 inches bigger than my waist, but not even close to my hips. One body shape calculator actually said my measurements didn't result in any of their shapes! Really I think inverted triangle describes me best :) I have lean legs, small hips/butt, carry some weight in my stomach area, and have a large chest and wider shoulders.

    I am 5'6"ish. Sometimes 5'7", but it depends on who does the measuring, to be honest.

    I'm a natural hourglass, but all the weight I've put on makes it less obvious.

    SW: 215
    CW: 204
    GW: 150

    I'm starting nice and slow right now, but I'm hoping to have hit my goal by March of next year and be working more on endurance and muscle-building next year.

    I'm a size 16/18/20 depending on the style of clothing, brand, what store I buy it in and if I've had enough water that day, haha. I'm hoping to get down to a 12/14.

    I'm 5'6.5" and probably closest to "pear" shaped.

    SW: 145
    CW: 121

    I never really had an end goal weight but I know that where I'm at now feels right for me so I have been working at maintaining the last few months. Started out a UK size 12-14 now UK 8-10 and having great fun clearing out old clothes and bringing in some new! :happy:

    This is my shape to the tee!!! So frustrating when you have skinny legs, no butt, no hips and wide shoulders and big boobs. LOL I also go straight down, really no waist line. My hips and waist are only like 3 inches difference. No matter how thin I get, my measurements are always like that. So weird.

    I'm 5' 7" and I'm not apple/pear shaped really, just.. average I guess? I put on weight evenly all over my body so it takes a lot of weight gain/loss (relative to my own weight) for any differences to show. E.g. I've gained around 26lbs since autumn 2011 and have only gone up one dress size.

    My SW was 154lbs, my CW is 143 and my GW is probably between 123-127lbs.

    I'm 5'8 and my SW is 240 and my goal weight is 200. I just started and eventually I'd like to get down to 180 but I'm taking my goals in steps :)

    I have an hourglass shape and am proportionate, meaning my weight doesn't gather in one specific area; it gathers evenly all over. My pant size is an 18 and my goal size is probably a 14!

    You won't have ANY trouble with this... I'm 5'6 165 and right now in comfortable 10's.

    SW: 228 (ish)
    CW: 165 + 31% BF
    GW: 130 and around 20% BF (will re-*kitten* as I get closer)

    I am 5'7 1/2 " and started at 208. CW 164 and goal weight of 140. I am pear shape and would like to get down to approx 130-135. By the way, I will be turning 52 soon. :smile:

    I am 5'6. I would say that I have an hourglass shape.

    SW: 180/185ish
    CW: 145
    GW: Be healthy and fit; not so much about a number any more

    I have to say that I have become less concerned with reaching a specific number. For me, it has become more about becoming fit and healthy. I want to set a good example for my children. I let myself go after having my kids and decided it was time for a change after getting on the scale at the doctor's office and it read 185! It was a real eye opener. I had allowed my self to get comfortable with my unhealthy weight. It took seeing that large number on the scale to get me motivated and to get into shape.

    I'm 5'7. My starting weight was 148. I'm naturally a relatively slim build, but after not exercising and constantly eating whatever I wanted for a few years, I started packing on some extra weight. It was especially present in my thighs, butt and stomach.

    I'm now down to 122-126 or so. I am pretty happy with my weight as is. If I continue to build muscle as I am trying to do, I'll be okay with it going up. I just want to know it's muscle and not fat.

    If I wasn't working out and just wanted the scale to reflect my desired weight, it would be about 120. Definitely no lower. I want to ensure I maintain a healthy BMI, and anything much lower than 120 wouldn't really be healthy for my height.

    Ht - 5'8
    Age- 33
    SW- 255 (ouch)
    CW- 194 (for over three mths)
    GW- 175 (or somewhere in that range)

    My shape is slight pear. Never had a stomach I gain weight in my boobs and thighs. I lost the boobs and now im firming the hip/thigh area since it refuses to leave the party. I can get in a size ten but i can move in a size 11/12. Hoping for a comfortable 10 at the end of it all.

    wow congrats.
    I am 5'6.
    SW: 258lbs
    CW:243.5lbs
    GW:120-140lbs

    I started out wearing 1x-2x shirts and sweatpants and 18 size jeans. I still wear those but they are loser and one pair of pants almost falls off me and I also fit into a size 14 and juniors 17 jeggings. which 6 months ago I couldn't even fit into a size juniors 19. And now I also fit into an xl shirt way better then I did before lol

    I am kinda in between body shapes so i can't really tell but before all my weight gain I was more of a pair shape and I was rocking it lol :) I know I can do it!!!

    Good luck to everyone else on there goals!!!

    Height: 5'6
    Age: 45
    SW: 242
    CW: 170
    GW: 154

    Goal is to get to a healthy BMI which for me is 154lbs. Once there I will re-evaluate.

    Clothes sizes:
    Trousers: Started at UK22-24 or US20-22 and now UK12 or US10
    Tops: Started at UK22-24 or US20-22 and now UK14 or US12

    Am still carrying weight on my stomach and thighs... and loose skin isnt attractive but it is what it is.
    Shape - not really sure as I can't tell. I think I am smaller on the top but clothes sizes would tend to indicate otherwise. Still have real problems working out what I look like as I just think I look like a beach ball.
