    That is my goal as well. I've already lost the weight I wanted (15 lbs), and now I just want to build muscle and tone. Any other weight I lose is just a bonus.

    I want to lose around 7 kg (~15 lbs), but most of all I want to tone up, build some muscles and get fit!

    I don't have a weight loss goal, just looking to get toned.

    AAHHHH!!!! this is great. I felt really alone, like my goals and accomplishments don't matter you know, because I don't have much to lose.
    Is there any way we can make a group on here? Like, those just aiming to tone/no more than 20 lbs to lose?

    You are not alone. I want to lose ten pounds only, but it feels like 50 to me. I understand.

    Interesting post! I always kind of felt alone in that aspect too. I want to drop from 141 to 130, maybe 125 at the least. It's not a big goal 'cause I'm not a big girl, and I always thought most of the goals here were much larger as well. I actually feel really guilty when I don't reach my goal because it's so small, I feel like there's no excuse for me not to make it.

    I understand that guilty thing. Like, when you see people who've lost 50+ lbs, its like.....why can't I shave off these last five? Or even just add some definition?
    I think it's a matter of pateince. As we lose weight and whatnot, our metabolism slows, and it's making that adjustment that's one of the hardest things.

    You can also find people who don't have much to lose under Community > Find Members > Weight Loss Goal and select "0-10".

    I also joined MFP with no weight to lose...mainly to encourage my family. I'm a runner so I've always been small.

    I've reached my weight loss goal (or close enough) and have recently started lifting to build a little strength and tighten things up. There's lots of us here, both genders, all heights and all ages. The Find Members tool is very helpful.

    I just need to lose 3kg to hit my target weight BUT I need to lose my big belly :laugh: (and 3kg isn't going to touch it)

    I've lost 20, have a few more to go and then tone/strengthen as well.

    Well this is neat :)
    I only want to lose maybe 5 lbs, but I also recognize that with toning, and running more I'll probably gain a little muscle weight. As long as I don't gain inches. I think I'll search for more members with similar goals! and as for everyone else, runners included, feel free to add me.
    I'm glad I posted this. It's really motivational to know I'm not alone in that sense :)

    I don't have an actual goal...i've gained 15lbs in the last few years, but I don't think I necessarily have to lose 15 to be happy, i'd be thrilled to just get the bf% down....lose some inches and build up some muscles.

    Feel free to add me, as inspiring as I find my MFP friends who are losing major weight, it's also nice to see those who are similar to me :)
