    5'4 and am currently 148 but my goal is 130. I'm not opposed to getting lower than that, mainly because I've found that I freaking love working out now that I've learned how to do it! But if I hit 130, I will be like yep, I did it!

    I'm 5'5" and weight around 149 now. My goal weight is set at 132... but what I REALLY want is to see size 6 in jeans with a tight stomach and toned arms, no matter what the scales say!

    I m 5'6" my goal is to EAT CAKE! Just kidding, I need to build muscle, get the definition in my arms, and thighs. Those are my 2 problem areas. I have recently decided to start a cleaner diet, I usually come in around my calorie goal, and I am at a healthy weight, just need that muscle tone. Not body builder style just nice. Ya feel me?

    Haha! Cake, I wish :/ And I totally get you about the body builder style - I've been doing A LOT of weight lifting, so my arms are looking really toned, but I'm worried that the rate of arm toning is going faster than ab toning! Hopefully I DON'T turn out like a bodybuilder...


    Abs always takes the longest for girls anyway or in my case it's the thighs! HORRIBLE THIGHS!

    I am just over 5'5" and 52 years old. I started at 176 and my initial goal was 150. As I was getting there, I lowered it to 140. I just hit that this week, but now I am aiming for under 135. I'll see what that looks like when I get there. I too want to mostly get more toned at this point, especially my arms and butt and thighs. My stomach has always been pretty flat, thankfully. And it's funny how we all carry our weight so differently. Everyone thinks I weigh a lot less than I do, and I now fit easily into size 4 pants (sometimes even a 2). At my heaviest, I was a size 8 (quickly approaching a 10 though).

    I'm 5'5 and now at 138 (from 160) - so I reached my original goal. It took 6 months as I lost it by changing my eating habits, and varying my exercising types.
    My new goal is to reach 135 but will than aim for 130! Little by little I do healthy changes. I'm trying to build up my endurance with swimming and jogging - lots of improvement is needed.

    P.S. - Swimming is an awesome workout it get those arms in shape .. I'm had not done it over 25 years so started taking lessons and now my shoulders, triceps are really tone. TRY IT :)

    I am about 130 lbs and 5' 2". I want to lose 7 lbs and eat cleaner. I am not consistent. I weight train regularly and I see results. I am also training for my first mud run.

    I'm 5'5", but used to be closer to 5'6". My goal weight is 125, because I looked good at that weight when I was 29 years old.

    That's awesome! Very true about how we all carry weight differently - jealous of your flat stomach! :smile:

    I'm 5'4" (well, almost) and started March 1st at 220lbs. I am now down to 194lbs and still losing. My first goal was to get under 200 (done), my next goal is 175lbs and go from there. I am now able to wear my size 12 jeans (snug) at 175lbs I wear a size 10. The smallest I have been has been a size 7/8 at 155lbs (still considered overweight by charts though) and people said I looked sick and too thin. However to be 155lbs I was pretty much killing myself (exercising 3+hrs a day, not eating right, purging, etc) so guess that is why I looked "sick".

    Great job! I had the same problem with over-exercising and not eating enough, and it definitely didn't help. That's awesome that you have been reaching your goals! :smile:

    Thank you. That 155lbs was 10 years ago, before divorce and remarrying and a lot of other things life threw at me. I am comfortable in my own skin around a size 10 (been a couple of years for that).

    I'm 5'5" and am shooting for 120, but I may go lower depending on how I feel when I get there.

    I am 5 foot 3.75 lol so I say 5 foot 4. I'm currently 149.8 lbs. My first goal was to get to 150 lbs which was my pre-pregnancy weight (I had a baby April 29th). I've reached that goal! My breasts are massive and I'm happy with how my body looks. However, I do wanna go a bit lower. So my current goal is to get to 140 lbs and work on getting my body toned up, my baby sure stretched my body out!

    I am 5'4.5". In the past, I looked great at 143 but I am currently shooting for 149 and will see how that feels/looks and if I can maintain it. I am also more interested in being healthy and being here for my kids as long as I can. Getting back to a size 10/12 would just be the icing on the proverbial cake!

    5'6", when I was younger, I felt good at about 140. Gained weight in Iraq & never lost it, then another 10 lbs from pregnancy -- up to 165. I'm now back down to 145 (and dropping), but my body fat percentage is too high, so I'm focusing more on that than weight right now. Once I get the body fat percentage down to a reasonable range, I'll see how I feel. Not really sure what my end goal is!!

    I think you may be my body double!? haha I'm primarily focused on my BF% too. I have one of those digital scale that tells me weight, bf% water% muscle mass% and bone density % and even tho my weight is dropping I haven't seen the BF% moving very much.... I want to get to 18%. Or at least 20%. I think 130lbs will get me there but I'm not sure.

    You?

    I have always assumed I had a lot of muscle, because I've always been strong -- like Monica-on-Friends freakishly strong. But we have a bod-pod at work, which is supposed to be the second-most-accurate method of measuring actual body fat percentage (a close second to water immersion)...and it showed me at 34%. 34%!!! And I'm not even that overweight!!! That freaked me out. So I'm aiming for 25%, which is supposed to be the upper limits of healthy. Once I get there, I'll see if I think I've got room to realistically/healthily/happily get to 20%. I don't want to start out with 20% as the goal, because at my height & weight, I'm not sure what losing 14% body fat means for me.
