I would like to join the group. I am built exactly like my father who was a linebacker for years. Enough said. I just started back on MFP I am 5'11" and starting at 245. I think my goal will be around 180. Right now I'd just like to be below 200!0
-
I'd love to join the group! I'm 5' 8.5", SW 282, CW 234. My first goal is 210 and then I hope to get down to 170 - 180. I have a large frame (according to the wrist test) and when I was at 170 I thought I looked really good. I really have no desire to go any lower.
I'm about 5'9" (post back surgeries) and 250. I'm trying to get down to 150 as a minimum. I'd settle for 170.
on a sidenote: I'm also built like a linebacker, no curves, just shoulders.0 -
I'd love to join too!!!
Like some of the posters- I come from football players and am built like one (broad shoulders and big bones).
I am 6 feet tall even, and I currently weigh about 195- and I feel like I'm not fat at this weight although technically overweight.
My goal weight is somewhere in the 165-170 range, and given that I am on the border of being a size 12 and a size 14 at my current weight, I think once I get into the 170s I may reevaluate. I am extremely muscular which is something that I was NOT the last time I weighed 175, and I was very thin at that weight.0 -
Please add me to the group...I am 5'4" starting weight 254 current weight 218...most people can't believe I weigh as much as I do...for my height I should weigh 135 but I will be happy with 1500

I would love to join your group. I'm 5'0" my SW 193, CW is 185, GW 145. I cannot seem to get over that first 10lbs hurdle. Your group sounds like what I need for support. Thank you for your posting.0
-
your enthusiasm really is contageous.
i'm 5'4-1/2" (yes, the half SO matters), weigh 350.1 as of yesterday. My initial goal is 250 with an end goal of 200ish, because a- I know I won't ever be "thin" and b - any less than that and I think I'll end up with lollypop syndrome... but I know it's going to be a long road, oddly, I'm okay with that. I've always been big (big boned AND chubby). Add me?0 -
:happy: Count me in too! I'm 5'5 ansd my CW is 199lb. I have always been considered "Big Boned" lol and would love to join this group.0
-
I to am a large framed woman....my sw was 315 cw is 285 and gw 170 which i think is a good weight for me since i am 5'8" and have the hour glass figure. i would love an invite to your group because it would be nice to be able to talk to women who are going thru the same steps i am to be healthy. i do count my calories but i dont starve myself and i go to the gym 3x's a week and work with a trainer once a month. i do treat myself once in a while because i dont want to binge eat and totally derail myself. the main thing i am using to lose weight is portion control and that seems to help me. I have come to realize that everyone is different and each person must find what works for them.0

Another large framer checking in.. Im 5'5 CW 195 GW 175-180. I don't want to be much less than that. At 195 I wear a size 12. 3 years ago I dropped down to 175 and a size 10. That was perfect to me with the wide structure that I have.
I'd like to join the group as well.0 -
Hiya,
I am 5"6 and my goal weight it 180lbs.
I will join your group0 -
Hi I would like to join. I am 5'4 SW 276 CW 264 I am large frame. I think I would look great at the 165-155 frame. I dont want to go by weight I want to go by clothing size> I want to be a M in shirts and 8 in pants. MFP has my ideal weight as 117. Gulp I was that in 7th grade. and Kids still called me earthquake.0
-
I so agree with all these posts. The only time I can remember being in that "ideal weight" was my senior year of high school (over 30 years ago). And everybody was always telling me to eat because I looked like I was starving myself. I think the weight goal is great, but I think I worry more about how I feel. Thank you for the post- it is always encouraging to know I am not the only one that feels this way.0
-
I would like an invite please.
I am 5'3" with a starting weight of 308. I am currently 262 and heading for 200 (I hope). I would like to be a size 14 in the long run. I havent been that small since 8th or 9th grade probably. I will never be the "healthy" 135 that the BMI measurement wants for me but I am totally okay with that.0 -
I also have a "large" frame. Every woman in my family is built like me. Not a petite one in the bunch in the last 80 years at the very least. I'm not so much concerned with hitting THAT number (whatever it may be) as I am with always striving for a goal. I may not ever hit 140 pounds. I may look great at 160 and stop there. But I want to never stop trying. If I always have a goal, I'll never have a reason to stop eating healthy and exercising. If I do get there, oh boy, will it be interesting. I don't remember being less than 220 pounds. And that was 13 years ago. Its always been about how I will feel at a lower weight, being more confident in my own skin, than any particular number.0
-
I'd like an invite please!! 5 ft 4.5 in. Starting weight was 235, current weight is 224, and goal is 180-190. I've always had an hour glass figure, started growing the boobs in 4th grade, up to a size G and a size 14 by the time I graduated high school. I like my figure, i just have excess belly and thighs but I really gain all over and I think I looked really great at the 185 range, which I haven't seen in 17 years. MFP has been really great for me, I can't believe how many calories are in some of the things that I used to eat. It's been hard because I love to eat but I have noticed that if I splurge on fast food or something after eating really healthy for a week, I feel so yucky! Plus, being able to "buy back calories" by exercising has been so motivating!0
-
I would also love an invite I am 5' 9 with a SW of 283 and a CW of 255. My GW is 195. I was 175 about 10 yrs ago in my early 20's and wouldnt want to be much smaller than that. I see that I should weight anywhere from 129-170lbs Where do they come up with these figures?? lol0
-
I'd love to join the group! Can I get an invitation?0
-
I would love to be part of the group for large framed women. I am 5' 4" and currently at about 160lbs. I thought I looked healthiest at about 145. My gw has been to get to 135 but I think after reading these posts Im just going to go until I think I look healthy no matter what the scale says. Can I get an invite to the group?0
-
I would love to join the group! If I can make it to 170, I'd be static!0
-
I am large-framed as well. "Big-boned" is what they always told me as a kid, when I was skinny, but still "big." I am keeping my goal weight at 140, but I will be doing a happy dance when I hit 170. I did weigh 135 back in high school when I was active in sports, running, lifting weights, etc. But I figure by the time I hit 170, I will have my endurance back and can use excercise to tone myself up. Once I'm there, the mirror will be my guide, not the scale.
Also, I am NOT an hourglass shape! (Lucky you! :flowerforyou: ) I am spoon/pear shaped, so my hips and upper thighs are a problem. I think your body shape is just as significant as your bone structure when it comes to how you look and feel at any given scale weight. The charts are all geared toward what is "average," and not for those of us who are outside of average.
Thanks for the post! :happy:0 -
Can I please get an invite? 5'8 sw 402, cw 341, gw 1950
-
Invite please! I am 5'1 and at my skinnyfattest was still 122lbs. I always weigh more than people think. I have a wide ribcage, bigger wrists, and some hiiiips. My body also likes to slap on some good muscle.
My goal right now is a muscled(I lift regularly) 136lbs. Currently 146lbs.0 -
Please send me an invite0
-
Add me too! My goal is 150 but it's just a shot in the dark because they make you choose a number. I know it will be somewhere around there and I will know it when I get there0
-
Hey, can I get an invite too....5'9", sw 232' cw 197, wanna lose about another 25 lbs, tho not sure if it will be possible yet.0
-
Can I get an invite as well? SW 344 CW 330 GW 200 and I'm 6' tall. So that means I have 130 to go. A year and a half ago I was only 70 lbs away from goal. Met my soon-to-be husband in 4 days, and I gained it all back. After the wedding my goal is to drop that 130 lbs in 2 years so we can start trying to have a family at a healthy weight for me.0
-
I would LOVE to be added to the group! My SW was 266 and my CW is 180. My GW is 150 but I have been stuck in the 180's for a few months now but am content with myself Been large framed all my life!0
-
Same here! I'd love to join. I was just telling my sis that my goal weight is 20+ lb heavier than any chart would tell me. I lost a significant amount of weight a few years ago (gained it back due to medical issues), and one of the mistakes I made was really trying to get down to that "chart weight" or where my BMI would be in the normal range. For me, that was just not good for real life. I tried and got frustrated, and then gave up. In retrospect, I should have just gone into maintenance mode when I felt my best, rather than trying to fit in a box.
I'm somewhere btwn 5'8" and 5'9" and my idea weight is probably 185. I got as low as 178, but it was so much work that it took over my life.

P.S. I'd love to add friends who are getting healthy with real food! I'd love to share food diaries for inspiration and motivation.0
