    CW is 138
    GW is 125

    My highest weight was around 185, and back then I would never have imagined 125 would be something attainable, but now that I'm in the 130s and I've seen how/where the weight comes off on my body, I think 125 will have me looking and feeling "just right." :)
    I posted that back in May. For the last several months I'e been hanging around 127-130. My main focus (number-wise) has been just to stay under 130 and I've been doing that pretty well but I would like to start seeing 125 or so because 129 is acceptable but freaks me out a little...too close to 130.

    That is where I was when I married my hubby 22 yrs ago. After 3 babies, I worked hard & got back there again. NOW, I'm in my 40's & don't have a good reason why I gained. Just not as active & life got harder I guess. I also am not a smoker anymore.

    I want to be there again (minus the smoking)! I looked & felt great!

    Feel free to add me! :flowerforyou:

    5 ft 7.5", CW: 236, GW: 150ish. I'll re-evaluate it when i get closer, but I have a large bone structure, so 150 might make me look emaciated. IDK! We'll see how it goes!

    Me too!! That's why 147 is the limit for me! Any smaller and I look like a bobble head!


    same here. my lowest adult weight was 142 & I looked skeletal.. but I wasnt working out then, I was just eating very little. My goal is somewhere under 159.6 (healthy bmi) & I will just see how it goes when I get there. I think by working out this time, I could weigh less & look better, but idk yet.

    started 205.4
    currently 172.4

    GW: 135-140lbs ~ or where I feel the best. I'm more looking to be fit vs weight. Id rather look toned & weight 145lbs or whatever, vs 135 and be 'Skinny Fat' If that makes any sense! LOL

    Agree! I always thought I wanted to reach a skinny weight, now I will be happy at a higher weight but a fit and strong body!

    I agree with you ladies about the "skinny fat." I messed up and got skinny fat myself before I knew what it was and it's not pretty! LOL With clothes on, it's fine, but I'm still a little squishy underneath them. Ha! I've decided I'll know I'm doing things right (fit, not just thin) when I can do a handstand without my tummy falling towards my face. I see a huge difference when I work out, things start firming up and I can see stomach muscles but then if I slack off on the working out but keep watching the food, everything changes - weight and pants size and all of that stays the same but things get all soft. You really have to do both - watching your foods and exercising. Diet alone doesn't make for a buff bod.

    TW 127

    Had my 2 kids in the last 4 years, before that I was a little over my goal weight but now I have a lot to work out for.
    Going to the gym for cardio and weights 3-4 times a week and stay within my 1200 cal a day, also watch what I eat
    could anyone have a look at my schedule to see if I am on the right track, I am new here and think I only lost very little
    however I do feel more toned.( I still breastfeed my 22mths old daughter but mainly evenings and night time).

    GW: 190 (or a UK size 14)

    Might seem a high goal weight, but I'm being realistic about what I think I can maintain, plus I know that's the weight I was last time I managed to get into a size 14 (6-7 years ago)

    I am extremely heavy with boobs, So I am scared to lose too much (back issues are definitely a real concern with losing weight). Any one else have that fear?
