What is your goal weight (include height when responding)

My starting weight was 220lbs (though I lost 20lbs of that with the Special K diet and then kind of stopped trying). When I got serious about health and fitness, I was 196lbs. I"m 28 years old and 5'3.5".
My current weight is 114lbs and my goal weight is 110lbs.
Right now I do a loooot of running, strength training, and I've started eating cleaner. I sort of spent the first few years muddling through the process of weight loss by myself with no real guidance, just tips from the Biggest Loser. I spent all of last year in a plateau until I changed my diet, my workout, and joined myfitnesspal. But I'm learning more every day and doing better!0 -

For me, its more of a fat loss goal than dropping weight (bulked for a decade and put on too much fat ).

Tips and tricks
2g per lb weight in protein
less than 60g fat but more than 50g
80-100g carbs
On fridays, eat 300g+ carbs and ignore what the cal/fat says

Really want to just get toned now
At 5'8 125lbs is plenty light enough. You're not going to "get toned" unless you make sure you are prioritizing muscle maintenance (proper protein intake, ideally heavy lifting if not a requirement) and have a slower deficit. Would be better to eat at maintenance and lift weights for a handful of months then try your hand at a small bulk, then once you're back up to maybe 135, go on a small cut to focus on fat loss.0 -

get plenty of rest, water, and a lifestyle change that works best for you and your body and exercise you love. It is about lifestyle transformation not just weight. It is good to know why you are overweight and work on yourself mentally and spiritually as well so one geals completely and builds self confidence.0 -

Eat real food. Is that how you want to live the rest of your life?

I'm trying to remember this is a way to live forever so no extremes, try to incorporate exercise into my life on a daily basis. Weigh without becoming obsessed by the number.

I have a goal size rather than a goal weight, because my weight isn't accurate. 5'11", US 12-14 dress size. That would be my advice, though. Look beyond a number on the scale, because it's a slow process, and there will be plenty of weeks where you don't lose or it looks like you've gained, but it's just water. Track your measurements and clothing size, and look at how your clothes fit.
If the measurements are going the wrong way and your clothes are getting tighter in places they shouldn't for an extended length of time, then worry about the weight not moving.0 -

6ft starting weight 265 (been as high as 275ish and as low as 230ish before starting here).
Current weight 246.
Goal 200
Been logging fairly well but need to become consistent with my exercise.
My tip would be to attack this thing with enthusiasm. Like a hobby or a passion. Make it a part of your life so you can do it every day without it being a grind.0 -

So curious, how long did it take you to get down to 115 from 220? (Or whenever you got "serious")0 -
I'm 21 years old. 5"8.
SW:205.4
CW: 200.2 after exactly 2 weeks on here.
Gw: 175 then reassess to maybe as low as 150.
I cook my own dinners now and most of my lunches. I always check calories before I eat something of course (some of my favorite foods were over 1k calories but I could copy them at home or be satisfied with smaller portions.) I work out at least 4 days a week and just do little things throughout the day. Even silly things like I'll park further away to get in maybe a minute of a walk. I don't deny myself things I couldn't see myself never eating again, I just try and be more careful. I do stop drinking and eating things I know aren't good for me that I'd rather use my calories on something else for. Coke is not that important, or Hamburger Helper, or etc but homemade brownies are I'll just only eat 1 a day. I think doing challenges are fun! Not just weight loss challenges as a whole, but littler ones like work outs to do each day to get better at. Just try to make the lifestyle changes a little at a time and make sure they are sustainable.0 -

I kind of have "mini" goals for myself set up already, and little dates to try and keep myself on track... They're spaced so I don't rush into this too quickly, but so I can ensure I'm becoming healthier and staying focused!

SW: ???? The last time I was weighed prior to my most recent weight loss attempt was in high school some years ago. The number was somewhere in the high 200s, maybe near 270.
CW: 138
GW: I'll start phasing into maintenance once I hit between 135-133, probably 135. I've been playing with the number ever since I started weighing myself again.0 -
