    I'm down to my last 8-ish pounds of weight loss. I haven't been in the overweight category of my BMI for about 10 pounds (I'm 168 now, 178 was my crossover from overweight to normal).

    Its slow going with the last few pounds, but I find I still lose about a pound a week. I just haven't let myself get comfortable with the weight I am at and I keep striving for my goal. I also set new goals for myself, like right now I want to become stronger and leaner, even if that means no change in weight.

    Edited to add that I've lost more than thirty pounds, so I definitely did not start in the "normal" range!!

    I'm in this category too. Right on the borderline for my height/age, but want to get back under 150 again. (At 154.5 right now, lost about 5 pounds so far.) Menopause is kicking my butt in terms of progress. Just struggling not to gain at this point. You can add me if you like.

    Hi! I would not mind being your friend. :) I weigh about 127 right now and would like to get to 120... I've been losing about a pound a week now, so it's pretty good. Mostly, this journey is about learning habits that will follow me for the rest of my life so that I never end up in this situation again. Add me if you'd like!

    Feel free to add me! I've always been a "healthy" BMI, but I'm working toward getting more toned (and hopefully shedding a few pounds in the process). Fluctuated 2 lbs + / - around 120... now trying to get to 110 with muscle definition.

    I am not overweight but I am still aiming to lose about 18 more pounds, and it is really difficult since weight loss is so slow when you don't have much to lose. Who else on mfp falls within the "normal" weight range but is still trying to lose a few pounds or tone up? I want to add you as friends so we can support each other!

    Me! I lost 10 pounds like 4 months ago then stopped and now I want to lose another 10 pounds and my body is not having it!
