    5'6 Started at 153 on 5th April, current weight 141 (thought 140 would be my goal) might try for 135 and see how I feel/look!

    My highest weight was 278 I'm now at 230. My main goal is to get back to 170 which was my pre baby weight back in high school but once I get there I'm sure I'll have another goal.

    I'm 5'6" and am 157lbs and 6 months post partum. I'm trying to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 145, but I'm really happy at 135lbs. I'm just trying to make it to the first goal then will work on getting back to 135lbs.

    I guess I have a larger frame and carry a lot of muscle (and boobs that have always been there, even when I was a competitive swimmer) - at my fittest ever, I still weighed around 165 when I was 16.

    After years of my teens/early twenties being yelled at by charts and WW and medical people that I should be between 125 and 140, it's nice to finally have a doctor be completely on board with saying 175 is likely a very appropriate weight goal for me. All my bloodwork and labwork and health in general has always been completely healthy even at my top weight, so I do feel thankful for that.

    When I do get there, I'll continue evaluating, of course. My goals at that point will completely shift to strength and athleticism (instead of being shared with actual weightloss which is distracting) and new goal decisions will be driven by that.


    Wanted to share because I spent years being confused and disheartened because I never saw anyone with higher weight goal like mine. We're all different and we just have to find what is good and right for our own bodies! :smile:


    I am very similar to you. I have a large frame... kinda built like a linebacker (thanks, genetics). I weighed 130 in college and looked emaciated, in fact I was indeed anorexic at the time. As I put on weight I was most healthy at around 160-165 pounds. After college my weight went up, and I found myself in the 200s. I started MFP in January at 255 pounds. Currently I'm at 203, and my goal is to get somewhere around 160-170.

    I'm currently about 147 lbs (give or take a pound or two) but would love to be at 140. From there, I will reevaluate. If I could be in the 130s, that would be great, but I don't know if it's in the cards for me.

    My goal is 150. I'm about a size 4 at that weight which is plenty small enough for me.

    I'm hoping for 140. Really I'm focusing more on Body fat though so once I get to 140 I'm going to try and gain more muscle. Currently 153. My Original goal was 155 but I'm not happy at it...then I was thinking 150...still thinking that's not where I want to be so I figure if I get to 140 I'll be happy with it. haha

    I have hovered around 160 most of my married life (13 years). After losing my thyroid to cancer last fall I went up to 183. I'm currently at 171 but I would like to be 135. I'm working hard and I never understood how difficult it can be when you have to rely on medicine to make your body work. I'm trying not to beat myself up about it.

    I started at 259 (September 2015) and am currently at 194, and my goal is 130. I am medium or average sized frame. I figure I may tweak that goal number as I get closer.

    Ditto. 5'6" small frame, CW 130ish, goal weight around 125. Also a size 6 but I'm not very muscular. This is all very entertaining.

    Currently at 159lbs (72kg), down 82 lbs from 241, moving towards my goal of 145 (65kg).

    Our stats are similar. I'm at 157 from 238.6. My goal is also 145 lbs.

    I think sizes depend a lot on where you carry your weight and your general frame. While I am medium boned, I have broad shoulders and boobs, so small size tops will never work for me, but then again, I have no *kitten* and hips, so I get away with smaller pants.

    This is very interesting. I have long limbs and a small frame. I carry my weight in my midsection. At 150-160 I'm a size US 10-12. I wasn't even a size 4 when I was 120.
