How much do you have to lose?

I started out weighing 159#, but I'm currently 145#. I'm not sure if I want to get down to 120# or 125#, but somewhere in that area. Either will put me in the middle of the 'healthy' BMI range. (Yes, I really am short, lol.)0

I started at 325, my arbitrary goal is is 150 ish, because that puts me right at the top of a healthy weight for my height. Once I get there, or get close I will decide a more final goal. I've never been a healthy weight, so I won't know what is best for me until I'm closer. But so far I'm kicked away 47 pounds, and I have 128 to go!0

How true! I lost 45 pounds in my first year on MFP. I'm 9 months into my second year, and I've lost only 17 more. But those 45 took me from obese to normal. Progress slowed down a lot after that, both because I have less fat to lose and because I don't burn as many calories in exercise and everyday activities than I did when I was carrying around so much extra weight.0 -
My ultimate goal is to get down to 130, to do this I need to lose about 45lbs. Most I have ever lost is 30lbs. Lets see if I can do it!0

I'm thinking about this myself...Right now my initial goal is to get to 175, which would place me just barely into the "Overweight" category for BMI. In order to get there, I'll have to lose another 28 pounds. Once I'm at 175, though, my plan is to hold at maintenance for 4-6 months, then reassess to see how I'm feeling and doing. (My other big goal is to get my waist circumference below 35 inches.)0

about 80 pounds which will put me at 160 and a healthy BMI for my height.0

Dunno my BMI but!
SW: 410 lbs
CW: 330 lbs
GW: 150 lbs
UGW: Not sure yet, will know when I get there0 -
I have 120lbs to lose. That will put me into average, the higher end but still there. I haven't been average or normal weight since maybe the age of five. That will be nice.0

SW 304 (5/2/14)
CW 247
GW 135-145
Bunches lol0 -
SW: 139 (306) at 49.4 BMI
CW: 96.5 (213) at 34.4 BMI (YAY! Finally out the morbidly obese category! I'm now plain old obese)
GW: 63 (139) at 22.5 BMI, right bang in the middle of the BMI range.
All in all I needed to lose 76 kg (167 pounds)
I have lost 42.5 kg (93.5) so far
Still have 33.5 (73.5) left0 -
I want to lose 15kg (33 pounds) and I'm already in the "normal" BMI range.0
-
SW 280lbs
CW 203lbs
GW 180lbs (when I first joined MFP, my initial GW was 225lbs and at the time, THAT seemed like trying to take a trip to the moon in a rowboat...now I want to join the Century Club by losing 100lbs!)
Only a few more lbs to go and I'll 1)-Be in Onderland, which hasn't been a reality since I was a teen & 2)-move out of Obese and into Overweight on the BMI charts.
According to the BMI charts, I'd have to get down to 164 lbs to get into a normal range. With my build, that simply won't happen, so I'll be considered overweight using BMI. I don't put any stock in BMI, so it doesn't concern me in the slightest.0 -
SW: 174 lbs
CW: 171 lbs
GW: As low as I can get while getting enough to eat

45 lbs...0

SW: 381
CW: 302-296 (the last time I stepped on the scale it was the lower #, but it wasn't an official weigh in day, so I'm hesitant to count it)
GW:180
This GW puts me at barely overweight by BMI standards. 170 would be within normal standards. So, I may choose to go to there. We'll see how things go as I get closer. I've never been that low… so I'm not sure what to expect from my body.0 -
Starting weight: 316 on 1/1.
Goal Weight: 180 (ideal weight per BMI).
Current Weight: 225
Lost 91 pounds.

SW: 248 (BMI of 40)
CW: 202.3 (where I've been stuck for three days, damn TOM) (BMI around 32-33)
GW: 130-145, probably on the higher end of that (my goal is set at 145, which is 23.4 I think)
57.3 more pounds to go!0 -
SW: 313/BMI: 50.5
CW: 256/BMI: 41.3
GW: 180/BMI: 29.0
UGW:155/BMI: 25.0 (just barely overweight, but with extra skin reasonable)
So far, I've lost 57 pounds and have 100 to go.
