Whats your GOAL or current weight range?

Female, 33 5'5"

SW: 185
CW: 140
GW range: 135-140

My goal weight range has changed every 10 pounds or so, LOL. I hit 138 a few days ago, and I loved how I looked. I was thinking of maintaining in a 130-135 range, but when I saw myself at 138, I worried that going too much lower would make me look too skinny and boney. So 135-140 it is!

GW: 166 - 168

I'd like to hit the 160's by December(Thats more than doable), I'm thinking that 2017 should be the year of calisthenics.

I've already made minor progress in this discipline but my thought process is if I want to maintain 160's I need to rethink my workouts for next year.

This time last year (I was at 220 lbs), I really had doubts I'd ever see the weight I'm at now (currently 175 lbs).
I had the goal of making to 175 about 3 years ago. Now that I've made it, and have maintained the weight for nearly a month now, I am wondering if I'd be better, about 10 pounds less. Say.....160-- 165 lb range. Honestly, i want a 6 pack. I've always wanted it, but never took the initiative to get it. Heck, ive come THIS FAR... why not take it the rest of the way?! So, it looks like I'm may still be in the chase.

6`0 Started 325lbs I`m at 265 and want to get to 185-200

My heaviest a couple years back was 185, I used WW and got to 155 but it wasn't sustainable for me. Went back to 173 which is where I am counting from now.

Sounds impossible but one pound at a time.

I'm 5'8" and my goal weight is 115 lbs because I have a small frame.

@AnthonyX150X that is DANGEROUSLY underweight. It is a BMI of 17.5. You should re-evaluate your goal. I do not say this to be nonsupportive, I am saying this out of genuine concern for your well-being.

Is it underweight even if you have a small frame though? I have seen people on the forums have goals weights slightly in the overweight range because they have a large frame.

Thank you for being concerned about my health, but I'm wondering if frame size can skew the healthy BMI range?

Several things:

-Frame size doesn't cause very much difference in weight, and the BMI scale accounts for this. That's why there's a range - assuming body fat and muscle are equal, a person with a large frame will have a slightly higher BMI than a person with a small frame. They can both fall into the normal range, no need to go over or under.

-There are exceptions: if you're very short, you may be perfectly healthy at an underweight BMI. If you're very tall or muscular, you may be healthy at an overweight BMI.

-Just because someone is shooting for an overweight BMI doesn't make it the healthiest option. It doesn't guarantee they'll be unhealthy, but it means they have a higher risk than someone in the normal BMI range.

-If someone has a BMI of 26 instead of 25, their risk of health problems increases a little. Going from 18.5 BMI to 17.5 BMI, the risk of health problems increases dramatically.

I think you should start by shooting for a BMI of 19.5-20 ( lbs). If you're not happy there, try to change your body composition by maintaining your weight and lifting weights (which you should already be lifting so you don't lose too much muscle mass while dieting). See how that goes.
