    What are yalls waist measurements? ?

    I am currently 28". And I'm happy with my body, lol! I'm 5' 5 1/2" and weigh 129, and I have a good deal of muscle mass. Genetically I just have a wider waist, but from the side I look skinny, lol

    At my heaviest i was 185, I didn't even realize how big I was! I'm down to 145 now and am looking to be a fit, toned 127lbs-130lbs. I think it's important too though to go how you look and feel, not necessarily the number that’s on the scale! Good luck!

    I want to be 150lbs again. After that I may shoot for 140lbs, what I weighed when I graduated high school.

    I'm 5'8" (was 5'9" befoe back surgery). I was 257 when I started, I am 240 now and realistically I want to be about 150. However, my dream is 140. I am a larger frame and when I was 18 I graduated from high school at 128 (yes I was an anorexic teen) and I realize what is healthy for my frame and height.

    135 ish how ever I am planning to put on alot of muscle weight so I may end up alot heavier than that. One I am down to a managable size say 140 it will be more about measurements than using the scale.

    Do you guys have a target waist measurement as well? I know I am trying to figure one out. I remember what my waist was at my lowest waist in high school, and my goal is about 25 pounds lower than that. But I wasn't super happy with my waist's appearance then. Even though the number sounds OK.

    I'm around 185 now and a size 11/12. Since I have a large frame, I would be happy at 165.

    I'm 5'6, I started at 124.6lb's on Jan 1st of this year. My goal weight was between 116/115. I'm 115.8lb now! Just switched to maintain my size, But now, My new goal is to tone up. As long as I lose more inches I'm fine with my weight going back up too the 120's.

    I started at 185lb and now am around 138lb. I'm happy with where I am but would love to tone up a little more and eventually get down to around 130lb. Here are some before pics (less than a year ago) and now.

    I'm 168cm, and I started at 66.6kgs (146 lbs) on 4th December 2011, and am now down to 59.8kgs (131 pounds).

    I don't need to lose anymore weight, just tone up, so am doing a weights program and have upped my calories.

    Oh and you asked for photos too

    First photo is at the beginning of November 2011 after a Melbourne Cup do (approx 67 kgs)

    Second photo was taken last Friday 24th Feb at 60kgs

    I am currently at 185. I got down to 165 a year ago and it felt pretty good. I'm going to shoot for that for now and do some toning. Then maybe I'll shoot for 150.:smile:

    I am 5'6", medium frame. Highest weight was a little over 180 - started on this site at 165. At my highest weight I was wearing 12s and some 14s.

    CW: 143.4 (Initial goal was 145)
    GW: 135

    I am currently wearing size 6 and some 8s, small and mediums in tops. I don't think I could get into those sizes a few years back at this weight, but I am in much better shape - a lot more muscle.
