    145-150 would be my ideal fluctuation zone.

    I've always felt big but in reality I just wasn't toned. (150-160) My unemployment a few years ago sparked a weight gain and i haven't really been under 180 since ):

    37

    Work or SAH (if work, what field?)

    Work 4 days a week as a secondary school French teacher.

    Whereabouts are you in the world? East Sussex, England (on the South East coast, near Hastings)

    How much do you weigh? I haven't weighed myself for a while, bit I reckon around 170lbs (I'm 5'6)

    How much do you want to weigh? I was 154lbs pre-pregnancy and I was happy at that weight, so I'd be ok getting back to that, but I want to have a flatter stomach and more toned thighs.

    Have you always struggled with weight or just since the baby/ies?

    I gained weight as a teenager, lost it at university, got really thin in my early 20s by not eating enough and over exercising, gained weight when I did my teacher training, then lost it for my wedding, and have gained in all 3 pregnancies, but always lost it after,

    I've got 3 children - Jack is 6, Maya is 4 and Zoë is nearly 16 months now.

    How old are you?
    I'm forever 21, also known as turning 30 in a couple months. And I have white hairs. I hate my white hairs. I pluck them.

    Work or SAH (if work, what field?)
    Both. I'm a SAHM and work from home when the kids are in bed. I do remote medical transcription (FYI, people, not a field I recommend going into unless you're already in it. It's dying.)

    Whereabouts are you in the world?
    'MERICA.

    How much do you weigh?
    Asking on the first date? Rude! Hah. I just weighed in today at 179.2, but started a couple weeks ago at 182.6.

    How much do you want to weigh?
    130? It's really about how I look. I want to get to about 140, probably, and then start weight training.

    Have you always struggled with weight or just since the baby/ies?
    Always. In fact, I've struggled "less" with babies because breastfeeding seems to stabilize my weight no matter how much I eat. But since I'm already so overweight... I need to lose it. And that's been hard to do since I had the kids.
