    Hey all.

    I'm 25
    5'3"
    SW: 195 lbs ( :( )
    CW: unknown, I haven't weighed myself in a month and have NO idea if any of what I am doing is working
    GW: 140 or lower. Whatever looks best on me.

    I've been overweight almost all my life, I'm not sure what would be best for me really.

    I'd love to have more friends btw. The more friends, the better chance of making a change!

    Hiya!

    I'm 26, and 5'6. Pretty sturdily built and I've got quite the bum and thighs on me...

    SW: 236
    CW: 170
    GW: 154 (aka the top end of healthy bmi)

    We'll see how I feel when I get closer to that goal weight. At 170 (and 21% BF) you can already see my ribs and hip bones jutting out, so I'm not sure I really want to go too much lower weight-wise.

    I'm 5'4", 38 years old. My heaviest was 160 (the picture of me in the red top). I was about 150 in the striped shirt and I'm 140 in the blue shirt. That's from today :)

    So I'm 34 and have logged in for nearly 30 days!
    SW 146.6
    CW 138
    GW 125 or there abouts.

    The lowest I've been in a decade is 135 (not counting last January where I juice fasted my way to 129 in four weeks and then put it all back on!)
    Think I'm losing a lot of lean muscle as well as body fat at the moment but will continue till my goal weight then try and build some strength!

    No before and after yet...

    5'4", 30 years old. No before/after yet [obviously].

    SW: 177
    CW: 174.2
    GW: 135-ish

    The lowest I have been since having kids is about 155, and wasn't quite happy there, so I know I need to go lower than that. I'm so ready to finally do this. Today is day 1 [again] - for the LAST time. :flowerforyou:

    49 yrs
    5'4"
    SW-173
    GW-125
    CW-129

    This was my initial goal. My focus has changed from being "skinny" to being lean and strong. When I get towards 125 I just don't look/feel as good.

    Height = 5'6"
    SW - 224.4 - 47% Body Fat (yikes) (post partum baby weight), baby was born a year ago and just now feeling ready.
    CW - 213.8 - 43 % Body Fat (not bad for 6 weeks!)
    GW - 165-175 - 20-25% body fat. May readjust later if I feel like I need to lose more

    I have a large frame and look pretty thin in the 160's (although that was without weight training). With MFP and an exercise program built for me by my personal trainer, I am hoping to look lean and rock a bikini by September for family vacation!

    Height 5'4"
    SW-163 (I have been as high as 178 though)
    CW-Between 136-139
    GW-130 absolute lowest.

    I'm trying a body recomp now. The scale read 136 last week but is up a few pounds as I'm inching toward maintenance calories. I don't expect to see the scale to move anymore, but am hoping for changes in my physique.

    5'5, age 31
    SW 143 (1/1/2015)
    CW 137 (2/2/2015, last time weighed in)
    GW 127

    I've found very good "luck" with using iifym for eating. I tried just counting calories last year (I'd do 1300cal/day + adding back exercise ones, as MFP suggested), and saw no results. First of the year I started iifym (1600cal/day always) & track in MFP and have seen great results, 1pound/week! Highly recommend iifym!!!

    5'4 3/4", age 37
    SW 195
    CW 164
    GW ~140-145

    The lowest weight I was at post-babies was 155 and I was feeling pretty happy there. I was in size 8 jeans/dress pants, size 6-8 dresses and medium tops. However, I was still a little lumpier than I'd like to have been so I think that extra 10-15 lbs and some strength training/toning should do the trick.

    I would look way too thin now being my high school weight of 125.

    5'6", 41 years old.

    SW: 229 (in 2013)
    CW: 181.4 (Down 47 lbs and counting...)
    GW: 135-140-ish

    The lowest I have been in the past 18 years is about 137, and it felt pretty good. (Maintained that weight for about a year before it started creeping up again.) I will re-evaluate when I get closer to goal. :)

    When I was 229lbs I avoided pictures like the plague, and these are still shots from a video since those are the only "before" pics I could find:

    In progress now... Finally getting my thyroid levels under control, and eating low-carb/high-protein has been helping.
