    Hello all! I'm 20, 5'1" and 111 pounds. I just finished coming down from 160 so I'm going to maintain what I've lost for a few weeks and then hopefully go down to somewhere between 100-105 pounds.

    I'm 20, 5' 6'', I started University two years ago and put on a lot of weight in my first year (went from 138lbs to 160 lbs). I started 'healthy eating' when I became really unhappy with my body. I'm really into fashion, so not being able to wear the clothes I wanted was really upsetting. I cut out chocolate and crisps and ate more fruit and vegetables. I joined MFP when I weighed 125lbs, to try and shift a little bit more weight and I am now 120 lbs with a goal weight of 110lbs. Would be great to get some more friends on here with similar goals :) xxx

    I'm 21, 5' 7" and currently 163 lbs.
    I want to get down to around 135 and go from there. I have a pretty big frame, so I'm aiming for an "athletic" body. I don't think I'll ever be super skinny anyway!
    I've done 30DS and lost quite a few inches and I'm doing C25K which is transforming my legs. I am actually comfortable wearing shortish dresses now.
    I'm starting strength training soon, to try and cut down my body fat (I'm currently 27%) and get rid of some cellulite (fingers crossed).
    Luckily, I seem to be a mesomorph, so hopefully once I start weight training I'll start seeing a real difference.
    I've lost over 20 lbs since January, I'm hoping to be at goal by the end of the year.

    Hi :)

    I'm 21 and 5ft 2.5in (1.60m) and weigh 60kg (132lbs).

    I'm doing the 30 Day Shred at the moment and appart from that it really depends on my mood, the weather, my time. I like to change my workouts so I don't get bored. Sometimes I'll go for the elliptical, sometimes dancing, or running or kickboxing. :)

    I'm 23, 5'8ish and down to 151lbs (from 194lbs).
    I lift 3x a week and do a crossfit class once a week even though I hate cardio I just started the c25k. I prolly won't finish it. :laugh:

    5'2 110 lbs at my last weigh in, trying to get to 106-108 but mostly I'm trying to lower my bf. I'm about 20% according to my scale and I'd like to be at 18% but that last little bit takes some serious work! I'm currently doing P90X strength and Insanity cardio on alternating days and I feel like I look better but my numbers haven't budged! Frustrating...

    Hello hello
    I'm 22, 5'5" I started MFP at 171, but was at my heaviest (that I know of) about a year before at 180.
    I am currently 150, and trying to get down to 147 ish...
    ultimately 140, just to give myself some wiggle room...I'd love to reach that weight before my birthday in August!

    Hi! I'm 22, 5'7" and 121lbs // 170cm and 54kg. I want to get back down to 50kg, but my body is taking it's sweet time!
  • hello :)

    i am 5'9, currently weigh 145 lbs (65 kg), wanting to get down to 125 lbs (56 kg). i run 4-5 times a week, and do weights 4 times a week. or at least i try, im not very consistent, hence the slow weight loss. i also love skipping, rollerblading and spinning, great cardio workouts that are also fun :)
  • Hi! I'm 26 and around 135ish. I have a really big frame (as I'm told by doctors and nutritionists), and a lot of muscle. I would love to get under 130, but it might not be realistic for me. I eat super clean, and lift heavy. I'm working on losing body fat and increasing muscle mass.

    I am 24, 5'6" and am at 203 (my high was 282) I would like to get down to 160ish, then maybe lower from there, I do have a large frame though and have been top heavy my whole life.

    I'm 19 (nearly 20 so close enough :P), 5'10 and just under 140lbs. I don't know what my goal weight is yet but probably go to 126lbs and then re-evaluate. Actually, I don't really care what I weigh, my aim is to get fit and toned for a tough mudder in july and then maybe a half marathon later on! Training 5-6 days a week (swimming/running/tennis/classes at the gym, mostly cardio but some weights days too) and eating around 1200 calories with a few higher days because I really like food :P

    Hi all,

    This has been an interesting thread, so I thought I'd throw in an older gal's two cents. In my early 20s, I was about 125 - 132 on a 5'6" frame. I kept my weight down by sticking to a vegan diet, running several miles a day and biking/walking most places. I was a scrawny thing with a flat stomach, flat chest and disproportionately big *kitten*.

    Then college, my first big-girl job, an additional big-girl job, a marriage and a divorce happened, and I packed on about 35 pounds. I was able to accept it because quite a big of it went to my already-big *kitten* and, for the first time, I had really big boobs. However, I also had high cholesterol, so something had to change.

    At age 28, I started working out with my little sister, who has a master's in exercise science and runs a gym. She's probably the hottest person I know. We talked about my goals -- I want to do one bikini show and one marathon before I turn 30, just to say I did them -- and she gave me a goal weight of 130 pounds. To get there, I've been running for fitness and biking for transportation. My dog gets to go on long walks every night now, and I have thrown some yoga into the mix. I'm not vegan; I eat mostly fish and vegetables and the occasional glass of wine. This morning I weighed 138.

    But here's the thing: I'm still heavier than I was when I was in my early 20s, but the clothes I kept from back then fit better. I've got more muscle now than I did then. Oh, and boobs. Let's not forget those.

    So here's my point: You ladies are making such great progress and should definitely be proud of that, but don't be a slave to a number.

    I'm 22, 5'9", and 120. At the risk of sounding abysmally, predictably ditzy, I'm trying to "tone up", not lose weight. I box, do The Bar Method, do Spinning, and lift free weights. You will not see me run for two seconds unless I'm chasing my nieces or being chased by a bear. Sadly, I'm not bad-*kitten* enough to have the latter happen to me.

    Just hit mid-20s, but I'm posting anyways.
    25, 5'3.5"
    141 lb

    Working towards probably 134, that should be around 18% body fat, nice and svelte lol

    ETA: I lift heavy 3x per week, do some HIIT and the very occassional real cardio on other days. Newly started Leangains (a protocol for intermittent fasting).
