    CW-135lbs
    LW-130lbs
    GW- Don't care I just want to be healthy, lean, and sexy :)

    Goals: Quit focusing on the scale and gauge my progress through measurements, how clothes fit, and pictures.
    I got to my goal weight but wasn't satisfied so I continue lifting to build muscle and I love the progress i'm making.

    Squat- PR 135lbs Goal 250lbs by June 2014

    5'4"
    Highest weight 217
    Current weight 163
    Goal weight 145

    I set my goal at the highest end of normal because I want to look fit/athletic/sexy rather than waif-ish/willowy/skinny. I'm 20 lbs from that goal, but I'm still pretty far from the athletic body that I desire. I suspect I may need to adjust that goal down a few pounds, but I'll wait until I get close to 145 to see what might be appropriate.

    I'm 5'3"
    Starting weight: 150 (lost 9lbs before I found this site)
    Current weight: 138
    Goal weight: 125

    125lbs is my high school weight. It seems completely unachievable from where I currently stand but we'll see!

    I'm 5"5' and my ultimate goal is getting my thighs not to rub anymore! Haha but my goal weight would be between 135-140 and definitely getting back into my high school jeans. I have 3 pant sizes to go!

    I'm 5'3 and at 142lbs. I would really like to get to 120-125 but I dont think I can get that small genetically. Plus I am kinda small now (at least that's what people say). I just want to tone up. I just hope that if I get to that weight, I will like how I look. I dont want to look extra weird. I just wanna love the way I look even though I look pretty darn good now but there's always room for improvement!! I will get there. We will all get there!

    9 and a half stone is my target and I'm at it. I'm 5 ft 3. I'm built pretty small but I have wide hips and a large chest and if I lost another half stone or more I'd disappear.

    I'm 5'3 (maybe 5'4 on a good day lol) 140 lbs is my ultimate lon-gterm goal, based on doctor's recommendations.. I don't feel have a particularly petite frame so I'm not sure I could get any smaller than that.. However I mostly set short-term or fitness goals for myself, otherwise Im pretty sure I would give up. I have to go by baby steps. I've never been thin so I might be happy at 160 or I might want to keep going to 120, I dont think I can be sure until I get closer.

    Oh but fitness-wise my ultimate goal is to do a 100 mile century bike tour!

    When I was 210 lbs my GW was 145 lbs. Now I've hit that, my GW is 135 lbs. But I know I'll reassess again when I'm in the 130s :-)

    I want to build more muscle so I know I'll have to go lower than GW to build it back up with muscle.

    I'm 5'3. When I started I was 230. I am under 200 now and started the site at 200. I would like to be in the 140-150 range. I have some muscle tone so I don't want to be lower than 130.

    I'm 5'2 3/4's (YES, that 3/4 is UBER important to me) I weigh 136 lbs and I'm 33 years old. I have 4 boys (10, 5 , 5, 3) I delivered my last son weighing 191 lbs. In February, I weighed 123lbs. I gained 13 lbs and it's hurting my self esteem. I started running again. I need to be pushed. I am SUPER anxious about the gym. I can't seem to do anything other than run on the treadmill because I feel like people are looking at me going "why is this idiot here". I feel awkward. I feel like I should be lean to enter the gym, which I know that sounds crazy :(

    I'm doing this, for ME. My soulmate thinks I'm perfect the way I am, but it's ME who has an issue with it.

    Also, after delivering my twins, my stomach ended up looking like an apron. I actually have 5-7 lbs of skin that hangs (This was determined by a plastic surgeon when I went for a consultation for a tummy tuck). My first son weighed 10.3 lbs, my twins were 6.5 and 6.1 and my last was 8.10.

    I NEED to do this. My GOAL is to FEEL and LOOK lean. I want to be tighter. I don't care what the scale says. I don't want a muffin top anymore, I don't want my thighs to touch together. I don't want to be a fat biker. I want my kids to be proud of me and not be embarassed. I want to look HOT on my Harley gosh darnit!!!

    Sorry for the long post....*sigh*
