That's great info. I'd like to get better at yoga and maybe some sort of dance fitness and get certified to do group exercise. Eventually..I figure its a great way to force myself to continue exercising and might help me bring in a little extra mulah.0

We sound similar. I have a medium to large frame sorta hourglass sorta pear and I'm think I'll aim for 135-145 [
I have a very similar figure to yours by the sounds of things, I carry a bit more weight on my hips/bum area than my top half, but not sure if it's enough to count as a full pear shape (so I'm probably somewhere inbetween).
I'm currently 160 ish and maintaining (not really intentionally, but as 160 was my 1st goal weight I've become a little complacent). That translates as a size 10/12 in UK sizes (depending on brand/material/item etc)
My next goal weight is 145 so I'm mid-range for BMI. I was 155ish at one point and really liked that weight, but I was 17 at the time so I could well look completely different at that weight now. I'm mostly just seeing how I feel as I lose and will stop once I'm comfortable/happy0 -

Ya, my appetite doesn't recognize I need less calories when I'm less active, and being at a healthy weight was so much easier when I had active jobs.0 -

Yes! According to measurements, I'm wider in my hips than my shoulders but if you look at me, I look hourglass. I've never been thin so there is something very appealing about being in the 130s but more than anything I just want to like the way I look and feel comfortable with myself. That might be higher than 130s and if it is, I won't push myself to lose more. It sounds like the 140s may be better for me because I'm planning to try to maintain my LBM with strength training.0 -

I'm a children's therapist so most of my work is sit down. There was a brief period when I was doing Intensive in Home when I could take kids for a walk as part of our time together but I'm hoping those days are long gone. My stuff is mostly sitting in an office so I'll need to keep myself active. Plus, we don't make a great amount of money so I figure teaching group exercise kills two birds with one stone0 -
I'm not sure on frame size but ideally I'd like to be 118-125. Obviously would revaluate if I was happy with how I looked. All a process0

I'm right around 150 and I'm pretty slender at this weight. I doubt I'll get much smaller size wise, I'm just looking to lose some residual fat.0

I'm 5'7" and medium frame. I think a lot of it depends on your age. When I was 18, I weighed 130#. When I was 35, I weighed 160#. Then I gained up to 256.5#! I'm on my way back down now and at age 61, I'm aiming for 156. A 100# weight loss. I'll see how I feel at that point, but am thinking it will be pretty good. Sometimes if you aim too low, you can't keep it there and end up gaining it back. I don't want to put myself in that position either.

I'm happy about 135ish. That puts me at a size six-ish. I have big boobs and a good butt, but a mommy tummy.0

I'm 5'7", large framed. 145-155 is a really good weight range for me.0

5'7" here. I've weighed as much as 230lbs and as low as 125lbs. At 125lbs I was a skeleton, I looked disgusting and every bone showed, but I wore a size 5 because I have a larger hip size. I'm currently 138lbs and it's too thin still. I went too far with my dieting I'd say and now I'm looking to add about 10lbs of muscle. I'm at 21% BF so I definitely think I'm lean enough for a bulk (which I've never done before, it's nerve racking doing the opposite of dieting!)

I'm 5'7'' with a large frame, and the lightest I've been was 165lbs (not happy with it.) I'd like to see what I look like at 117lbs so I might aim for that, but we'll see. I have no boobs to speak of so I don't care if everything goes. But depending on how much I get into lifting, I don't mind if I weigh a little more at my goal if I gain more muscle...0
