I am 5'4 ( but have actually lied a few times about my height saying I was 5'7. At weight watchers, they just looked at me like "sure honey, you aren't kidding anyone but yourself".
I am 54 years old
I have a medium build
I have one child (had a C section, which cuts all your stomach muscles **sigh**)
Currently I weigh 202, my lowest weight was 174. I am trying to get down to 150 which was my high school weight.0 -

- and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body!
) Not yet! 0 -

Hi! I'm 21yo 5'3 small to medium build currently 163lbs & size 9 jeans, 2 kids ages 18months & 8weeks
Goal weight of 120 but first goal is 130 haven't been there since before 1st pregnancy.0 -
- what kind of build are you? MEDIUM
- how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? 171 lbs. Size 12- 14 depending on cut.
- what is your goal weight and why? 135 - that was my pre-motherhood weight when I was early 30, if I reach that next year, I will consider 125 as I was that in my early 20s. Why? I have always had the dreaded weight in my abdominal area, I am a classic apple shaped woman, I totally despise having the muffin roll over the top of my jeans and not being able to tuck in my shirts. My muffin will be gone if I make it to pre-motherhood weight. I want to be fit before I turn 50.

I'll answer my own questions too
- I am medium build
- I am 153 and in size 12 pants
- right now my goal weight is 140 mainly because I have no clue last time I was below 150 (my pre-babies weight) and its considered a healthy weight whereas I am considered overweight currently
- I am 30
- I have had 2 kids, both by c section, so have the below the belly button pooch and clothes that fit me at this weight pre kids don't fit me or don't fit the same, kids have defintely changed my body, especially in the hips/belly area
(and anyone that wants to add me as a friend, feel free to )
I am small build
I am 104 and wear size 1/2 pants (sometimes 0)
My goal weight is where I am. If I put on some weight due to muscle I am good with that also
I am 34
I have 1 child0 -

Medium build.
148 and wear a size 8. Measurements right now are 39, 32, 39. Would love to be 38, 28, 38. Even 36,26,36 doesn't sound too bad
Goal weight is 135. As a teen I was 110, married at age 20 at 120 lbs. 110 is way too skinny and 120 is not sustainable. Not sure if I'll have to reevaluate once I get to 135. I"ll have far more muscle than I did at 110 and 120.
45 years old.
3 grown kids. Highest weight 205 before giving birth to middle child. Highest non pregnancy weight - 180, which was about 3 years ago. Lost some weight and maintained at 155 for over a year. Now going through the slooooow process of losing weight since actively trying since May 1st of this year.0 -
Hey there!
Also 5'4"
- what kind of build are you? I tried to measure with a tape measurer, once I got small wrists and medium from my elbow, which is more accurate?
- how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? I'm about 140 and wear a 9-10 (I'm a pear)
- what is your goal weight and why? My current goal weight is around 132 but we'll see!
- how old are you (if you don't mind sharing) I'm 24 years old
- and have you had any kids? Not yet for me0 -
5'4.75".
Small build.
I'm at 150 and wear between a 6 and an 8.
I want to be back down to 120, but realistically I'll probably shoot for 127-135.
32, no kids.0 -
- what kind of build are you? medium to large (large according to wrist size but I'm not sure how accurate that is)
- how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? 156, Aussie size 10-12 (I think that's US 6-8)
- what is your goal weight and why? 150 ish, though I'll be happy to maintain just about where I'm at.
- how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)? 45
- and have you had any kids? I've been pregnant, but don't have kids.0 -
- what kind of build are you? Don't know how to tell accurately, but I'd say definitely not small
- how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? Today I weigh 166.6 and wear pants in a 10 - 12
- what is your goal weight and why? Undecided on this one. First goal was 165. Lowest weight ever (in my adult life) was 150 but not sure if I can get back there. I can actually wear dresses I fit into at that weight, so I think I'm a little more toned than I was then. It bugs me that my BMI says I should be less, but I think I'll look too thin if I go below 150...I'll have to see how it goes.
- how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)? 36
- and have you had any kids? 2, one by emergency c-section, one by VBAC. Hideous c-section scar and a significant tummy pouch, but my kids were well worth it!0 -

Hello,
I am not sure my build. I am also 5'4" and I consider myself to be stalky is the only way to describe it.
I am 31 and a mom to two beautiful kids both by c-section as well. I currently weight 146. I was wanting to get to 130 but after talking to my husband and looking at my body, I would seriously have to loose all my muscle and every inch of fat to get that low.... Realistically I think about 135-140 would suit me perfect for my body frame.
I am not sure on jeans as they all fit different. In silvers I wear a 29 and am close to a 28.
Right now I do strenght training 3 days a week doing a full body weight workout, and then the other two days I do cardio with core work. I am really trying to tone my body up while also still losing inches....0 -
- what kind of build are you?
I'm unsure, I would say medium-large? Big hips
- how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
Right now I weigh 135 and the last pair of pants I bought were a 5/6 (but I've only bought one pair since losing weight, so it could vary with stores).
- what is your goal weight and why?
My goal weight is about 120-125 lbs, BF% about 20%, and size 4 pants. I don't know why, I just feel like I still have fat to lose and this is where I would be happiest with my body!

Goal Weight- is 125-126 because I want to be more slender then what I am now.

No kids, but would like some in a couple years! I want to be in tip top shape before I have kids! (I heard you bounce back faster)
i used to heavy lift and weighed 142 two years ago but with light weights and tons of cardio I am back down (thank God) I do not suggest heavy lifting for woman because it hurt my knees and I always carried a mean swell n bloat!0 -
I'm currently 133 and want to be 124lbs. I left school at 18 weighing 105lbs, was very active and naturally lean but too thin. I married at 28 weighing 118lbs and returned to that weight after having my daughter a year later. After number 2 arrived two years after that, it became much more difficult to lose weight and my tummy is not a pretty sight. I have been as low as 122 just last year but have let things slip and I've outgrown many of my UK size 10s and that's why I'm on here! I'm a slim build, very lean arms and ribs and from knees downwards, excess weight gathers between my waist and knees! It's hard to get my head round my MFP starting weight being an 'acceptable' weight (137lbs) since it's 32lbs more than I have weighted as an adult. So, 124 for me, hopefully.
I'm 43 but look about 35 apparently 0 -
- I am 5'3" and a large build
- I am 198 pounds and a size 14 short
- My goal is 130 pounds, because that is where I want to be
- I will be 42 in less than a month, but have been told I look much younger
- I have a 23 year old daughter. Before I had her I was 130 pounds, gained 35 during pregnancy and lost all of the baby weight before she was three months old.0 -
