Hey everyone,

I am nearing the tail end of my weight loss journey and I have about ten more pounds to go before I reach my goal. I am 5'8.5" and my current weight is 134.4. I started MFP at a weight of 158. I am looking for more friends (not that my current ones are not already totally awesome) that have similar goals or have met a goal closer to the 120's. I know that my goal of 125 is at the lower end of the weight spectrum for someone my height, but I think it fits my body well.

I also just want to see how you guys look at that weight and how you feel. I know that when you are lower in weight and still trying to lose, the weight loss struggles are a little different, that is why I am being somewhat specific.

Please add me so we can help support each other! :)

    First of all, I wish I was as tall as you are! Maybe my weight would distribute evenly:) What I am struggling with is my body fat % even though my weight is dropping. So trying to get myself toned. Oh btw, I am 5'2 and currently 121.5 lbs.

    I have been able to reduce mine by doing distance running. I have not started strength training because my first goal was to reduce body fat then tone.

    Oh, and it's hard to find tall men ;)

    I am 5'9 and I am in the mid 120s right now. I am happy with my weight, but I am thinking I have some room to gain some too. I don't want to go lower though. I look the same as my profile picture right now.

    I am 5' 10" and currently weigh 143.8. My orginal goal was to be 133, a weight at which I was over a year ago. I wasn't toned though and stil could have lost a few more. I am hoping to be 130.

    I'm 5'8 1/2" and around 140. I wanted to be down to 132 but have started weight training so loosing has now stopped, but toning is going well. I would love to loose 8 pounds, think part of my problem Is not eating enough.

    I'm 5'7 and 127 right now. I would like to be 123. My weigh fluctuates between 125-127 so I want to fluctuate between 123-125. It's hard right now with the holidays but I should be getting back to my diet and excercise regime in January.

    I'm 5'8 and around 145lbs.

    Gaining at the moment for muscle gains but in the new year I'm going to start cutting and looking to get down to around 135, maybe higher/lower depending on how I feel. My lowest weight on here was 129.

    Feel free to add me :)

    I've had weight fluctuations before, from 165 being my highest and 142 (what I'm at now) being my lowest. I'm 5'8" and trying to get down to 130ish, give or take a few pounds. I'm really not trying to use the scale as TOO much reference because I'm also weight training and I know I'll be gaining muscle weight.. I just want to go down a few sizes, maybe to like a 6.. I'm between an 8 and 10 right now.

    This is my first ever post on here by the way, so let me know if I'm doing something wrong!

    Hi,
    I'm 5'9 and currently around 168-170 depending on the day... haha my highest weight was around 190 back in 8th grade then went down to around 125 when I was 16 but that didn't last long as I started binge eating again. and was around 140-150 until two years ago I went up to 175 due to not exercising and stress eating :S I want to get back down to 140..maybe 130 depending on how I feel. really looking for long time fitness and overall toning.
    feel free to add me :)

    I'm also 5'8 and weigh 145! On my frame, 125 would never happen. Indeed, it is good to see others in our height/weight range!

    I'm 5'9.. Shooting for 140 and currently sitting around 151(Up a few due to holidays/new years!).

    I have a pretty small frame so even at 151, I look pretty tiny.. but since I am determined to get to my pre-college weight, 140 it is..
