I was so close to my goal last summer, then I let myself get stressed out by a dangerous roommate, and my new guy is as much of a foodie as I am. My ultimate goal is lower, but 20 is plenty for now.
I feel like I have more energy at lower weights even though my body looks fine now.0 -

120ish
I want to lose weight because I've gone back and forth over the years up to a high of 160 and a low of 138(about 5/6 yrs ago).
I just don't feel comfortable at this weight. Up until about the age of 25, I didn't have to do a thing (exercise) and ate all kinds of junk food and maintained at 120-125. I was probably considered "skinny fat" though. This time around, I have a lot more muscle definition and my body looks like that of a person who works out. So, even if I don't get down to 120ish -I'll be happy. I think I can get pretty close though because I do still have some fat to lose.0 -
Name: Shannon
Age: 46
Height: 5' 4" (just a hair under)
CW: 146 lb (down from 199 lb and a HW of 224 lb)
Goal: 125 lb
Why?? Become more fit and healthier! Have more energy.
Had a disabling back injury, so wanted to lighten the 'load' and see if it would help some. I am currently the weight I was when I started nursing school, which added 25 lbs (was a fit 170, very active rode and trained horses in addition to nursing.) Then the back injury which added a LOT more weight, had to sell the horses, etc. and getting ready to sell my acreage.
My son thinks I should stay where I am weight wise, but would like to see how I feel to take off that last 20 pounds!0 -
I am 5'6
Age: 22
CW: 142-144
GW: initially 130, but would ultimately like to be 125
I want to lose weight to feel confident in my graduation dress and to enjoy shopping for clothes I actually want to wear and not ones that just hide my trouble areas
I don't want to stay the weight I am now because I feel extremely self conscious and it affects other aspects of my life: school, relationships, etc.
I am new to this group and I would love to make friends who regularly log their meal on MFP as motivation
I don't want to fall off the wagon as I have done in the past and I would really appreciate some positive people on my newsfeed so add me if you wish!0 -

Age: 41
Height: 5'5"
Start Weight/Current Weight: (starting over AGAIN today): 159
GW: 140ish, still want some curves, want to tone more than anything
I want to lose weight/tone to look and feel good in my own skin. I know I have more energy and suffer less from migraines when I eat and work out the way I know I should. I just need that extra support and self motivation to keep up with it so I can finally reach my goals!0 -
Hi!
I'm Jeanne.
I'm 35.
I'm on the upper end between 5'4" and 5'5", but I really have no idea.
I currently weight 160, coming down from 178.
I really want to get down to 130, I doubt I'll go more, may feel better a bit heavier, but I want to get down to 130 before I decide.
I want to be a positive role model for my 2 kids. While being overweight isn't the worst, it makes life a lot harder, and I'd like to show them how much easier it is to stay healthy than to lose it when you aren't.
Not so much anymore, but when I weighed 178 I felt obscene when I wore tanks and shorts. There was just so much flesh. And I'm beginning to have real gastric problems and gallbladder problems, at least part of that is weight-related.0 -
Hi!
Really glad I found this group, wish I would have sooner!
I'm Jenn
Height: 5'5"
CW: 172.8 LBS ( 3 years ago I was 210lbs)
GW: 145LBS
I want to loose weight because I want to feel great about myself. I have always been bigger. 3 years ago I was 210lbs, with hard work and dedication I lost 65lbs! I was thrilled, looked great. I then had gallbladder surgery. I went home from the hospital weighing 168lbs, I was admitted at 143lbs! That did something to my thought process and I majorly lost all motivation. January 2014 I weighed in at 177lbs, so it has been a very slow process this time.
I don't want to stay the weight that I am know because I remember how great I looked at 145lbs and I want to get back to that.0 -

Reasons why you want to lose weight--- Over the past 6 years I have gained around 20 lbs! I miss my body. I don't like to wear dresses anymore because I'm self conscious of my weight, even though I know I am not overweight I still just don't feel sexy you know? Plus I recently quit smoking (tomorrow will be 1 month) so I just want to transform into a healthy person!
Reasons why you don't want to stay the weight you are now - I want to wear dresses! I want to feel sexy when naked and when clothed! I want to rock bikinis and not be self conscious when I SIT DOWN (tummy roll-ugh!)0 -

Hello hello
Name: Alia
Age: 18
Height: 5'5"
Your current weight: 155lbs
Your goal weight: 125-130lbs
Reasons why you want to lose weight: Since August, I have put on over 15lbs and about 25lbs over the past year. Although, I do have a weight loss goal, I mainly want to change my lifestyle. I am a lot less active than I was before, and I want to have more energy in my day to day life. As a second year uni student, I am always exhausted and stressed, and I often over-eat just to avoid studying (hopefully I'm not the only one). Obviously this has been coming on for a while, but I've decided now is the time to take action. Which leads to the next question
Reasons why you don't want to stay the weight you are now: I only fit in one pair of jeans. And they're jeggings. And there is nothing more depressing than going to a store to buy new jeans because you've gained so much weight you can't fit into the ones you have now. I'm not giving up just yet on those size 7s I bought this summer
