What is your current weight and goal weight? How have you been working it off?

I'm 5'7 and 21 y/o, hoping to get to 130 lbs, currently at 171. Most of my weight is in my thights/butt, so if anyone has suggestions for working out those areas I'm all ears!

  • Hii!~ :3 I'm about your height. I'm 17. My current weight is 227.4 pounds. I used to weigh about 270. Yeah, I'm a fattie. xD My goal weight is 135 pounds. To work my legs, I've been apart of a soccer organization where I referee and coach as well as run errands. Getting involved in a non-profit sport organization can be great exercise and a lot of fun.
    I also use blogilates.com to get my work out routine. It targets certain areas that you want to work (and printer friendly guides)!~ She also has videos on youtube. :3

    I usually work out 6 days a week and make sure I do at the very least 5 miles of nonformal walking, and 5 miles formal walking. :3

    I also drink lots of green tea (which is great for you!) and have a high protein diet. :3

    Hey thanks for that website! It looks like it has lots of helpful info. Great job so far on the weight loss!


    Anyone have tips on yoga? I did it twice a week for a year and saw no results, but I wasn't doing it that often. Anyone see results from doing yoga often?

    Hi,
    I'm 5'7, 143lbs and am realistically hoping to get down to 135lbs, but would love to see 130lbs. 130lbs would not be realistic to maintain thought. I have an athletic body type, but carry all my extra weight in my butt and thighs as well.
    I have ran 3 marathons and 5 half marathons and have done a few triathlons and more to come.
    I have tried squats, cardio, jump training etc. I look great everywhere but my butt and thighs are still a problem area. Family pattern as well.
    All the exercises I have done have toned and lifted a bit, but not made them go away or shrink.
    A BIG mistake I have made in the past and am hoping to correct very soon is the excuse of eating what I want and feel like because "i exercised today".

    I'm 5'7" and currently 167 pounds (started at 177). I am hoping to get down to 138 pounds, which is what I weighed at my wedding 2 years ago.
