    I'm 5"5.5 and a mom of 3 girls.
    Starting weight: Depends when "starting is." I've been everywhere from 115 to 170.
    Current weight: 155
    Goal weight: This is tough. Whatever I weigh when I'm at about 17% body fat again. Could be anywhere from 130-145.

    Feel free to add me :)

    When I got out of high school (and we won't say when that was), I was 5'6 112 lbs. I've been all over the board since. I wore a size 3 petite.

    At 33 years old, I started dancing low impact country and western. I was 117 lbs at 33 years old. I liked being that thin. I do think that's fairly unrealistic for me now.

    Now, I think I could be happy at 135 to 140, but I'm not sure if I will ever see that again. I just lost 5 lbs and it was like pulling teeth, but I have injuries that make exercise impossible. Maybe after I lose a few more pounds it won't be such a stress on those areas.
    It's winter and spring will help.

    I've always thought 125 lbs was good weight for my height but I haven't seen that for some time and I haven't a clue how I would ever reach it.

    I take short goals. My first was 5 lbs. I've lost 5.5 and am on target with what mfp said I would be.

    5'5" and a 1/2
    SW: 220 size 18/20
    CW: 150 size small in 80% of clothes (6 shirt/dress/skirt and 8 jeans)
    I'm 110% happy and fit and there's no way I want to lose any more
    I'm tiny in the middle with curvy hips/butt and I love it. If I lost more, I'd lose my shape and that would just be horrific to me.

    When I started university I didn't realize how fit&slim I had gotten (was running a few km pretty much every day).

    I thought I was overweight at 145. I had some medical problems and gained a lot of weight over a few months and hit 162.
    Now that I'm back at 147 I realize how I wasn't/am not that overweight.

    I would like to get back down to my thin/fit range. I could go into the 130's if I put on a lot of muscle.

I am finally and GW at the moment is 130lbs.. I am feeling a lot more in control of my body since joining mfp rather than feeling my body was controlling me.x I am 5'4" x

    The weight loss has caused you to go from looking short and dumpy to looking kind of tall and fit. Which you're reasonably tall for a woman anyway, but you never would have looked when you were fat.

    Your hair cut/makeup are amazing in your after picture. You look so young and hot.

    I'm thinking I might reevaluate the goal when I get closer, though. I'd probably be fine with being 125-130.

    5'4. Mom of 2. Top weight post pregnancy was 191.
    CW: 140
    GW: 125 (Original goal, it's less about weight anymore; I may need to revise)
    I must say I feel like I look really good at 135 (I was 135 a week prior to Thanksgiving), and I wear a size 4 at that weight. I'm not looking to get any smaller than a 4.

    I do not want to go below 140 because this is where I look and feel best! My BMI is right down the middle of normal and who wants to look like a stick! :)

    I weighed 117# (very close to bottom of BMI) and the doctor put me in an eating disorder clinic. I asked my doctors the other day if I should loose more weight or maintain because I was still considered overweight on BMI. they BOTH told me in no uncertain terms that I could not weigh any lower than 160#.

    My goal weight will change depending on how my body looks, but I know I want to be a lot slimmer, because I'm currently carrying a lot of weight in my upper thighs.
