    166 pounds is very close to what I see as an average 150 pound woman. And maybe its still the fat girl in me that sees 150 as average when average should really be 135.

    Starting weight:210
    Current weight: 166
    Goal weight: I want to be under 150 numbers wise and after that just focus on being healthy and building strength

    Thoughts? Comments?

    I started between 235 and 240 in March 2012 and I now weight 170-177 on any given day. I am 5'5". I tend to fluctuate 5-10 pounds per week. My goal weight is 165. I am 41. Have been maintaining weight for about 15 months but have droppped body fat. I am a competitive Crossfitter and powerlifter, so even though I never trained for hypertrophy, I am bulky in that I have a LOT of muscle mass. I am okay with that though. I worked hard to get strong! I look normal in clothing but in workout clothes, I am quadzilla. But, they are strong awesome quads that make me good at sports at age 41!

    Current Weight (This is early fall but my weight is the same: 170-175). Other than making my weight class, body composition is what matters to me and the scale means very little. I'm nearly obese in terms of BMI!

    wow - you are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing. You look amazing!

    5'6" going to be 43 in a little over a month

    sw somewhere in the low 200's was afraid of the scale
    cw 126
    lw 122

    I started in 2011 and hit maintenance in October 2013. Been in maintenance since. My low weight was while I was still trying to iron out my maintenance calories. Ive got it pretty down pat now. I lift 3x a week and cardio 2x a week. Take Sat and Sun off for my husband and kids.

    I'm 5'4" 26 years old.
    SW: 199
    CW:165
    GW: 135
    Started working out 4 years ago after reaching my highest weight of 199 after having my son. I initially lost 50 lbs. And then I fell off the band wagon. 3 years later I'm hopping back on. I started back at the gym on Monday, and started healthy eating (my diet before was crap) just wanted to share what I've achieved in one week of a healthy lifestyle. Mind you it's no huge difference, but I can already see how much bloating I've lost.

    I'm just starting out.. i'm on day 18 of counting my calories and have lost 6 lbs..

    I'm 5/5, 32 years old. I have PCOS so it's challenging to lose weight and very easy to gain weight.

    SW: 237
    CW: 231
    GW: 150 (The higher end of the healthy range for my BMI)

    I Hope I stay motivated. At my lowest, I weighed 140.

    I'm 18, 5'4 and currently 105-110 lbs. I used to be 170 lbs. :-)
    my goal weight was originally 120, then lowered it to 110-115, but ended up at 105-108 lbs today. Am trying to maintain, or even gain a bit.

    Not sure if my photo will work.
    HT 5'4
    HW 142
    SW 130
    CWT 160
    GW ?

    At this point I'm not as concerned about the scale. I want to see more physical change. My goal is to lose fat and build muscle.

    I'm 5' 4". My heaviest was 210 my senior year of high school. Since I've started logging and exercising regularly. I'm down 3 lbs, but I won't measure again until next weekend. That'll be exactly one month from my first measurements. I think I can see more of a change in how I look than I do on the scale at the moment. We will find out. My lowest was a year and a half ago, I weighed 150. Then I got an office job, and snacked all day long and put on the extra weight again.

    SW: 176
    CW: 173
    GW: 130/140...not too sure, I just know what I wanna look like, so once I get there I'll figure out what that number is.
