    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!

    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).
