    I always thought I was 5'3" but apparently, according to the Dr I am 5'2" 1/2 :(

    I'm a 51 year old mother of two grown children. During my first pregnancy my midwife told me my body would never be the same again. She was right. I'm 5 foot, 4 inches tall, and my goal weight is 130. I weighed 125 when I got married 31 years ago. Now I weigh 140. My pants are tight, and I hate that. I just wan't to loose 10 pounds.

    I'm guessing you're probably way too hard on yourself, probably like I am too. I look at those "heavy" photos and I see just a big tire of fat around my waist and bulging over my hips (not to mention my arms and gross floppy boobs), and I know realistically there's no way you could have anything close to that thirty pounds lighter. I do have an hourglass shape so have a small waist compared to my hips, but the part below my navel still makes me unhappy today and always will because that's just where I carry fat - it's the last thing to go even when I'm sub-20% body fat and have visible ribs at the top of my stomach and visible hipbones below.
    While it's definitely true I tend to be a little hard on myself, I've inherited the good old apple shape characteristic of every woman on both sides of my family. This means that unfortunately, even when my upper body looks skeletal (I lose fat in the face, arms, and chest first), I have a belly that hangs over my bottoms (which otherwise fit fine). I've even stripped off for a doctor who scolded me about losing too much weight to prove to her that I still had a big belly, despite the way the rest of me looked, and the only thing she could say was "...well, everybody has their problem areas."

    I'm beginning to think that there's no weight I could be that would make me lose the belly unless I were so thin as to be near death. Sadly, lipo is too expensive and too risky for my liking so I'm likely just stuck with it.

    Not exactly height requirement for this conversation, but relatively close!

    Age- 22
    Height- 5'2
    SW- 175
    CW- 166

    I have two Goal weights, normally I have no problem keeping my weight down but apparently it snowballed with a change in anti-seizure meds, my desk job, and my habits.

    1st Goal weight - 140lbs (this use to be my turning point, also known as the old breaking point to start dieting again) originally I stayed right around 115-120lbs.

    That being said 120lb is my 2nd goal weight but would be happy at 130! :)

    I'm 5'5 (sorry, am I too tall for this? Lol) and my goal was 135, but I'm down to 137.5 now and I'm thinking I might push that to 130. Id be happy to be 130-135 and maintain that and focus on strength. I am on the slow track though, steadily losing 1/2-3/4 of a pound per week cause I like to eat!

    I'm 5'4 and my goal is 135 - that's what I was 10 years ago. Looking at the way weight is coming off now, I'm not sure I want to be 135, I think I might look unhealthy (My profile pic is 5lbs lost 167 & 162) I'm currently at 157 and I don't see 20 more to go.

    Currently, my goal is 170. After that, I'll take a look at my measurements/goals and re-evaluate if I want to go for another 20 pounds or if I'm happy.

    In a perfect world I think I might feel happiest with my appearance back at 140 pounds. However, I have a high stress job with long hours at a desk, a long commute that take up a large chunk of my life. Once I get to 170, if I'm more okay with how I look I'll stop stressing about losing weight and just try to be happy (since I'm already healthy nothing changes there. :smile: )
