I'm just curious as to where everyone is in relation to their goals. For me, I am currently 144 and my original goal weight was 142. I have since moved it to 135.

I'm a 33 Year Old Female

    I'm about halfway to goal range. Don't have a precise goal number. I'll see how I feel when I'm there and tweak accordingly.

    I reached goal weight nearly 1.5 years ago. Nowadays I'm more focused on fitness and physique.

    **laughs in nowhere near** Yeeeaaaaah... I've been doing this since I was 30. I'm 34 now... nowhere near where I'd like to be.

    By this, I mean here on MFP. I've been tracking calories since I was... 25 or so? Never get anywhere near where I'd like to be. Beginning to think it will never happen.

    If you are at a calorie deficit, you will lose weight, barring no serious medical issues standing in your way.

    Are you using a food scale?

    Yep. Been using the same food scale since 2012 when I started using Calorie Count (a now defunct website).

    Maybe it's time for a new scale?

    Perhaps. :laugh: It has been a handy little device all these years, though.

    35/F, CW 129, GW 127.

    I'm really happy with where I'm at right now except I have a little pouch of fat on my lower belly that's super annoying. I've read through the "Does my uterus make me look fat?" thread but what I have is actual fat, not just a visible uterus leaning out. I'm not sure if I want to continue losing or try recomping.

    I am 26, 5'7.5''

    Highest: 200 lbs.
    Start: 190 lbs. in February 2018
    Current: 136 lbs. (I first hit this weight in May 2019, have basically been in a plateau since)
    Goal: 125 lbs.? (or whenever I feel comfortable with my body fat amount)

    I'm close and just taking it slow from here on out!

    My goal weight is 175. I'm at 220 now. My highest weight was 248 on Dec 1 2018.

    6 years ago I got down to 175 for literally one weigh in, but I do remember really being comfortable with how I felt near that range. I hope to be pretty close to my goal by this time next year, or ideally June 2019. We'll see :)

    It's very hard for me to lose weight, and I lose it very slllooowwwllllyyyy but for the first time in 5 years I am doing it consistently for almost a year now.

    Baby steps......

    I just had a baby, and while I am 15lbs or so away from my pre-pregnancy weight I have a long way to go body composition wise to my ultimate goal. I think I need at least another 2-3 years to rebuild.

    2007 - heaviest weight 307 (maybe more)
    2013 - MFP start weight 262
    2015 - lowest weight (since 7th grade actually) 163-ish
    2019 - current weight 172

    I haven't had a very specific goal in mind since 180 lb back in 2014, and after achieving that I thought I would aim for 150. But when I've hit the lower 160s, I tend to start having low libido & nutritional deficiencies show up on my bloodwork. So I plan to maintain between 165-175. I have been in the 170s for years and fine with it as a permanent "goal" range.

    5'8" and 42 years old.

    Starting weight: 145
    Current weight: 127
    Goal weight: 120

    I’m 5’0”. I keep debating if I actually want to lose or just maintain. If I lose weight, I will inevitably lose some curves too.

    I don’t think I’ll be shooting for a number this go around. I have two pant sizes in mind and that’s my goal.
