Hi,

I am 5ft 3 and currently weigh 153.78lb (10 stone 9) I am 27 and a size 12

My target weight is 121 (8 stone 6) and a size 8 - 10. I am an ex gymnast so have rather wide shoulders, so I may struggle getting back in to a size 8 top.

I want my pre baby figure back, and I am will to do anything to get it at the min, I had a emergency C-Sect to have her, so I want my belly gone. I have lost 22lb so far, and heading in the right direction. My next target goal is 132lb and I want to do it in 9 weeks. I am going to a wedding them and want to look fab.

I'm 5'6", 14st 9, just turned 30 and size 18.

Want to lose about 60 lbs, maybe size 12/14 and improve my overall fitness too. Spent too long eating too much wrong stuff and too little time exercising.

Hi, I'm 37, 38 next month and weigh 210lbs (15 stone) and a size 16. I would like to get down to 13 stone and size 14. My starting weight was 254lbs (18stone 2lbs) and a size 20/22.

Good luck to everyone with their weight loss

Hi I'm Sarah my stats are,

5'5" 10stone 6pounds, 29 years old, clothes ususally 12 jeans, 14 tops (I'm a bit of an apple) I've put my goal as 9 stone as that was the weight I was when I met my OH 9 years ago and I'm getting married next year although I'd be really happy with 9 and a half, but mostly I want to shrink the inches around my belly I'm 35" round the belly button (39.5" round the hips) I'd love that to be under 30" even if I stayed the same weight.

I've been doing MFP for a month and only lost 1 pound, which is a bit of a nightmare! In fact is there anyone who's around my weight and height who's losing and can give me any tips?

Some people on this thread seem to be aiming a bit low for their height.

You think? I haven't seen any particularly low goals here. People carry weight differently, it depends on your frame and how you carry weight. And personal preference of course.

Hello All,
Just joined team uk, but have been using MFP for a little over a week now.
My height is 5' 7"
Age 50
Start weight was 12st 7lb
Weight as of Friday 12st 3lb
Dress size is a very good 14 teetering on a 16


My aim is to get down to somewhere between 10.5 and 11 stone and back to a size 12, back to the days when clothes shopping did not feel so traumatic.

Im 5', age 31 and currently wiegh 140lbs (10st). Am a size 12 on top and size 10 on bottom half.

My goal weight is to be 119lbs (8st 7lbs).

Some people on this thread seem to be aiming a bit low for their height.

I understand your concern, but before I had kids I was a healthy 9 stone 8. I don't think my goal of 10 stone is too low for me at 5'9?

It's whatever you feel comfortable with. I've noticed a couple of people on this thread who are the same dress size as me but are also shorter and heavier. We all carry weight differently, goes to show the scale isn't everything. My weight has always seemed to take up more space than other people's. People of the same height and weight (at whatever stage I was at) always took a couple of sizes smaller in clothes than me. I'm small boned, tiny hands and feet, I guess that's why. They probably have more muscle too, I'm working on that

I'm 5 ft 7, weigh 144 lbs, am 27 and a size 12.

I'm not looking to lose a load of weight just want to lose a few pounds and tone up a lot more coz seem to carry all my weight round my belly, hips and thighs. I lost a stone before joining this site but my jeans don't feel much looser so trying to do sit ups and stretching combined with loads of walking.

I have a really small bone structure so I'm thinking maybe I should be aiming to get down to the lower end of the healthy bmi scale.

I'm 28 years old, 11st 8lbs. Too chubby for size 14 but not quite a 16 either. 5'6".
I am determined to lose a stone or a stone and a half healthily, I'm sick of feeling flabby and have tried and failed to lose weight since my first daughter was born 4 years ago. I'm determined not to give up this time!
