    5'7 here. Currently 184, down from 211 in Oct. No goal weight in mind but I don't think I can ever be below 175. With my body type I'd look unhealthy and probably be miserable trying to maintain.

    5ft 4, have lost 28lbs since August and around the 40lb mark since I first started with MFP. I've always had the problem of weighing heavier than I look. Normal BMI charts have had me in the red since I was about 12 years old. Even when I was a UK size 12, I was still in the red. Last time I was in the green I had an eating disorder and looked like I would snap if you nudged me. So I don't want to be there again. I don't use a weight based BMI chart anymore. I use the Ashwell Shape Chart instead. I think it's far healthier. http://www.ashwell.uk.com/shapechart.htm

    ... currently eating 1500.

    It can be rough when a dinner at a restaurant is a whole day's worth of food.

    I struggle badly with portion control.

    At my heaviest I was 200 at 5ft. I lost 60lbs like it was nothing. I'm at 140 now and want to get to 120/125 lbs. those last 20 pounds are holding on for dear life though.

    Y'all keep up the great work. Don't watch the scale so much. Watch how your clothes fit. We all struggle. No excuses, just execution. Remember your end goal. I'm 5"7 weighed 210 down to 190 trying to lose fat & gain lean muscle. Really don't care what the scale says. Good luck to u all. You got this.

    I'm just about 5'1" (rounded up, but I'll take what I can get!), looking to get down to a muscular 105 lbs. I definitely struggle with the 1200 calorie/day and am working to build up my calories burned in exercise to speed up the process.
