I have my goal set to lose 100 pounds...but it's just a guess. I figured I will know when I get there. I weighed 149 this morning....I still have a muffin top, so more weight must come off!

I started off around 180. I didn't have a goal weight in mind. I am now maintaining between 125-130. You can see my pics in my profile. Good luck!

I am 5'4", lost 112 over 1 year 3 months.
Starting weight 283 end weight 171, wanted to stop at 132, but it just isn't healthy for me.
Current measurements:
chest: 38
waist: 28
Hips: 38
no pushup bra, girdle, pantyhose or make up, just me!

Wow.. good work sunshine

Tyvm :]

I'm 5'3" (used to be 5'4"), 57 year old female.
I've lost 50 lbs, from 225 down to 175. I don't get how to post a photo on this reply, or I would.

I am 5'4 and my goal weight on here is 135... but I think I want to lower it to 125 or 130... not sure ... see when I get there. You can look at my pic's in my profile. I started at 215. The weight in my before and current I believe is around 150.

I haven't got pictures to show you but I am 5'3.

I'm currently close to my "new" goal weight of 55kg (not sure the pound equivalent!) but, honestly, at 56kg I don't think I need to lose more weight. I just picked a number out of the hat and set my first goal. Then realised that deep down I wanted a flat tummy and no chafing between my thighs! So I set a new goal.

I would aim for exactly mid point in the "healthy" zone of the BMI chart. And then if you want to keep going aim for a bit more weight loss, but don't get too close to the "underweight" zone... it doesn't look very good!

Bumping to follow. This is so interesting because there's such a variation of what looks good on different individuals.

I'm 5'4 with a medium frame / bone structure. I don't seem to have much of a waist and a friend recently described my body shape as a "plank". (I envy you curvy women!!!)

I carry most of my fat in my gut and regardless of weight, l feel "thick" most of the time. My highest weight on record was 192, pics in my profile are from around 180, and there are also pics from being in the 135-140 range. Right now I'm at 139 and not focused as much on weight per se, as toning up and kissing the belly fat good-bye.

Thanks for posting this - it really is healthy to have exposure to a wide variety of perspectives. :flowerforyou:

Bump.........i really like this post. I am 5'3 and its easy to feel discouraged with people who are taller look way thinner at the same weight. I am glad you started this topic....thanks

I'm the same. I am 5ft 4 was around 140 and now am 130lbs but I don't look a lot different - my clothes are looser but nobody has actually noticed that I am thinner. I had initially thought that I would like to be 120-125lbs but I am close enough to that to know that I will probably need to lose more to be happy. 110lbs would be the lowest I could go in a healthy bmi range so I'm thinking that might be a bit thin because I've always had curves and don't want to look like a boy! I think a goal size would be a good thing to set rather than a weight - I'd love to be a size 8-10. I started at a size 12-14 and am now size 12 but still nowhere near able to fit into a 10. I think it all depends on where the weight sits on you and how much of it is muscle etc.
