    :flowerforyou: To you ladies who are 5'4", some questions :) 5 feet 4 1/2 inches (don't forget that 1/2 inch!)


    - what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)
    Medium built

    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
    133 lbs/ size 6

    - what is your goal weight and why?
    I'd like to be a muscular (not body builder) 128-130 lbs because I feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin the closer I get to that goal.

    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)
    40

    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) )
    4 kids; first was vertical c-section, so I have what appears to be a butt crack from my belly button down

    I'm just 5'5 I am a large build, broad shoulders but NO hips

    I weigh 165 and wear a size 8-10 pant

    My goal weight is 158 by 12/15/11 because it puts me in a healthier BMI and, according to my certified fitness test; it is a healthy weight for my frame making my body fat under 21%.

    I am 29 years young. Ha!

    I do not have any children. My weight gain was inspired by lack of activity, in school, and horrible eating habits.

    Let's see:
    - I'm usually considered a small frame; I am a mesomorph which means I can gain/lose weight really easy if I put my mind to it.
    - I am at 133 and wear a size 6/7 (sometimes smaller/bigger depending on the brand)
    - 125. I weighed this in my first year of college and felt/looked good.
    - Just turned 31 :(
    - Nope, no kids - unless you count the hairy, snoring beast that is at my feet :)

    - what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)

    Medium build. But with wide shoulders and short legs. My father once said I built like a pit pony.:mad:

    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?

    231lbs
    UK size 18/20

    - what is your goal weight and why?

    140lbs. Any smaller than that & I look ill.

    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)

    A fingers width away for 49!:noway:

    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) )

    No rug rats!

  • I'm 5'4 according to my doctor this year, but I've been 5'3 my whole life...
    I have a "LARGE" frame, as told by a nutritionist. I have really broad shoulders and a big rib cage, and really narrow hips.
    I weigh around 132 and usually wear a 4 (sometimes a 2, sometimes a 6).
    I would love to weigh 125 again, but I don't think I can maintain it. I did weigh that for about 5 years, but only ate around 600-800 calories a day...so maybe 130 is better. I'd like to increase muscle mass and decrease fat percentage.
    I am 25, almost 26, and don't have any kids!

    - what kind of build are you?
    Medium, or maybe small? pear-shaped.

    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
    Currently at 225, size 16 (but they're rather tight)

    - what is your goal weight and why?
    Right now I'm setting my first goal at 145 to enter the "healthy" BMI range. But I think I'll ultimately go for 125-130. My best friend is the same height/build as me, and she looked awesome when she was at 125.

    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)
    Turning 25 shortly.

    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) )
    Nope.

    Hi! I'd say I was a medium build, generally not large but wouldn't say small due to my large behind! haha

    I currently weigh just under 9 stone (124lbs), and wear a size 10/12 (UK sizes)

    My goal weight is probably around 8 stone (112) but not sure if I'll actually make it to there. I'd like to slim down so I don't have a poochy tummy. I know I'm not overweight and it's probably because I'm a small/medium build but the stomach still sticks out which annoys me!

    I'm 21 and don't have any kids

    I'm 5'3 and a half.

    Medium frame - (heavy boned I like to think!) being part viking (I'm 1/4 Danish)

    I weigh 157 lbs and wear a size 14 pants (According to most websites, this weight is considered borderline obese...seriously?!)

    My goal weight is 130lb as I think this is the ideal weight according to tests I have done.

    I will be 30 in March 2012 and I want to lose 27lb by my birthday :noway:

    No kids as of yet.
  • what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large) I'm a medium build

    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? I weigh 151 and wear a size 10

    - what is your goal weight and why? 135 or so. I just felt great when I weighed this. Hell, I'll be happy with 140

    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing) 42

    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) ) I do not have any kids but I did have surgery about 6 years ago to have fibroid removed and I have a 5 inch scar that runs from below my belly button down. It cut through layers of muscles and my stomach has never been the same.

    - 23 in a month
    - I haven't had any kids.
  • HI!
    I am medium build, currently weighing in at 177. I am wearing a size 16.
    My goal weight is 140 as that seems to be the lowest I have been able to reach and maintain for any length of time.
    I am almost 37 and have 1 ten year old.
    I have had multiple miscarriages and an emergency hysterectomy, so I have the scarring, the pouch and the emotional eating patterns from the past few years.
