I really don't care what number my weight is, I just don't want to look like a cow in photos. Wearing a size 10-12, was once a size 6-8 that's where I'd like to be. My kids are grown (16, 17 & 18) so I have no "baby weight" to lose. I'd just like to do better at doing better.

    We are kind of similar - feel free to add me. I'm 36, 5'5", 165 pounds, size 12/13. I'm also not that concerned with the scale, but I think once I hit 145, I will be fairly happy with how I look, because I do weights as well as cardio. My kids are 19, 16, almost 9, and twin 7 year olds.....so I don't think it's baby weight for me anymore - just plain old, every day excess fat. :)

    Similar too, 5'3.75", 34 yrs, currently 156 pounds size 14ish due to large hips. No kids, just trying to maintain existing weight & tone. Workout daily

    I'm also similar! 5'6'', 35, currently 170, 35% body fat with a goal to get to 27%. (not sure what I'll weigh when I get there)

    I wear size medium and 8-10 for pants. I'm really into circuit and strength training. No kids yet though, but trying and want to start my pregnancy from a place of fitness.

    39 (40 next month) Female, 5’3” 161 (last time I checked), goal of 130. XL top, 12 pants. Two sons (17 & 13) Definitely not baby weight.

    Lost 20 lbs, then had foot surgery and put on 25. Last I checked I was down 11 pounds to my current 161 (although I have not been trying lately and that may not be accurate). I bought a shirt today to show school pride for the local homecoming game and although the size should have been plenty big enough to fit, I was terribly self conscious all evening. It’s time to get back to it.

    I would love to work through this with others who have similar goals. Let me know if you are still interested in teaming up.

    ... just realised how old this thread is and it won't let me delete!
