      I'm at 195 currently and want to get to 140 at least. I've already lost 70lbs and it feels like it's taken forever!

      You can do this.

      My stats/goals:
      Height - 5'4.5"
      Highest adult weight - 260 lbs
      Goal 1 - 130 lbs to 135 lbs
      Current weight - 121 to 123 lbs (Trendweight is 122.4 lbs currently)
      Goal 2 - ?
      I say question mark because I'm not sure. I am debating trying to cut a bit more and maybe get my Trendweight down to 118 lbs or just starting a recomposition. I did try my hand at maintaining over the holidays and still ended up losing about 2 lbs. Then January came and I f%*$/# up big time; causing my trend to go up 1lb and say I was on the path to gaining 1 lb per week. Spent Feb, fixing that and now I'm just not sure which route to take.

      5'4"
      Highest Weight: 180
      Lowest Weight: 128
      Current Weight: 142
      I will gain to 145, and then probably have a goal around 135. Not sure though. Could be less, could be more.

      I am 5"7'. My goal is 150 because that would put my BMI in the normal range for the first time since I was in my 20s.

      My initial goal weight was 133. I got there and kept going to just under 130 and decided to go with 130 as my maintenance weight and shift to recomp. Start weight was 153.4; my highest non-pg weight was 161.

      I started out at 182 really not having a goal weight. Now I'm done 42lbs with a goal of 130 or 135. It took over a year to get were I am now but but in the work and it can be done.

      Goal 1: 145(ish) by Mid-June

      Ultimate goal: ?

      Genuinely do not know. I haven't ever been 'skinny', hence my first goal of 145 is the lowest weight I have been in my adult life, and the approximate weight I was when I met my fiancé. I will just continue to lose until I am happy with the way my body looks. I am a shortie at 5'3 with a large frame so I'm not sure what weight that would be!

      SW: 210-230+ (I have family say that I was at least 230. I'm still trying to find my highest-recorded height -I feel like I was in completely denial and constantly said I was 210 despite weighing more)
      CW: 130(ish. I fluctuate between 127-133)
      GW: Whatever I feel best at. At this point, I'm thinking of chilling in the low 120s

      Wow! Congrats on losing so much weight! I have started at almost the same weight as you (246lbs) and would love to get down to the 190's!

      Do you have any tips for weight loss? ^_^

      GW-130

      And yeah, sometimes that number seems very far away. I try to set my goals in 20 pound increments so I don't get overwhelmed.

      My husband is taking a very different approach, since his ultimate goal is better health, not just weight related. (Diagnosed prediabetic and his sat fat numbers were so high they interfered with the rest of his numbers). His goals are things like bench-press weights, longer times on the elliptical, etc. (when he started, he could barely do 10 minutes, now he does 30 and is reaching for 40). We've both seen huge changes in our bodies, and in our overall health- he may yet convince me that his way is better.

      Well I'm off by about 15 lbs. I'm 5'2 176 pounds female. I'm aiming to get to 120 but I'd be happy at 130.
