    great goals... baby steps, eat right, count calories and what you burn, make sure there is a deficit... not to much, dont lose it too fast.. also make sure to get cardio in 2-3 times a week as well as weight training.... i did it with brazilian butt lift and chalean extreme, also stick with lean proteins!! and make sure u intake 1 g of protein for every 1lb of lean muscle in you body..
    Hey everyone. I would love to know what all your goal weights are. If you have met them please tell me how. I would love pics to. I used to be in shape running 4-6 miles everyday. Then I got married and had 3 kids. Time for me now.

    5'9

    My current goal is to get under 200 then in increments of 20lbs until I get to 140.

    Thanks!!!

    def depends on your build!! i was 5'9" and 149 when i decided to make a change... i had body fat absorbing my belly and back, I looked "poochy" and i was def not in shape and not healthy.
    they say 100 lbs for 5 feet, then 5 pounds for every inch after that. that would put 5'9 at 145. BUT I think it depends on your build.

    I'm 5'9. My highest weight was 299. At 274 now. Goal is 140-145. I'll just have to see. While I love the thought of a number, whether it's a scale's number or a certain clothing size, ultimately, I want to feel good and be able to do all the things I want to do.

    Starting weight: 175
    Current Weight/BF%: 157lbs/21.8%
    Goal Weight/BF%: 150 lbs/19%

    I dont know that i will drop down to 150 pounds but my main goal is to get down to 19% body fat. Here is a picture of the changes my body has gone through from my highest weight to now.

    I am 5'9''. My current goal is also to get under 200 then lose 10 lbs at a time until I get to a healthly weight, probably about 150 - 160 for my frame.

    I am 38 years old and I am 5'9" and would like to get to 150 lbs. I never struggled with my weight until I reached the age of 30. In my 20's I was a size 2/4 and weighed 130-135. My metabolism has completely changed since my 30's, but I also wasn't eating right. I have been a size 8 -12 the past 5-6 years. I lose weight then I gain weight. My weight gain is always occurs during the fall and winter months. Then I lose during the spring and summer. I need to lose weight and keep it off permanently! I have been on every diet (weight watchers, dukan diet and even took HCG (non hormone) drops). Now I am doing it the old fashion way. Just watching my calorie intake and watching portion control. I eat around 1200 calories (when not exercising) and increase it when I do exercise.

    Here are my current stats:

    Feb. 21, 2012: 200 lbs
    April 17, 2012: 182 lbs

    Hey everyone!!! Sorry it has been so long since I've checked in. THANK YOU for the support. You all look amazing. I once was 115lbs and though I was WAY to thin. At that time I was 19 and played soccer. We would run 4-5 miles everyday. I am not looking to be that again. I weighed myself this morning and I weigh 211.8. I wont count the weight until monday.

    I did my first 5k in 12 years on 5/5. Took me 45 min to complete it. My husband and I are doing the mud run in Carlsbad this June. I am really nervous about that one. I have been jogging every other day. I can now jog a mile without stopping. Doing 3 miles in around 40-43 min. I do see a little improvement. I really now that this can work I just need to watch what I am eating.

    You all should post your weekly weigh ins here. Or we can start another board. I would love to read about all your weekly updates.

    Hope you all are doing great and having an AMAZING weekend.

    My goal is 160. I may change it from there, but I've been big all of my life (I started at 372) and I'm not sure I would be comfortable going any lower in the healthy weight range than that. I do plan on muscle accounting for the extra 15lbs, though! I think it's all about comfort and personal preference.

    hello tallish ladies!

    i'm 5'9.5"
    i started at 222 and am now 159
    i would like to have a permanent forever weight in the 147 to 150 range

    without changing anything else, a 10 lb weight loss would cut approx 9 min off my marathon time. or so i hear.

    For the past 3 or 4 years I've been telling myself, 145, 145, 145! but I got down to about 155 a couple of summers ago and I looked fairly decend. I don't want to be a beam pole, and I still want a little curve to my figure. Now my goal is 150 lb. I don't know how your body is shaped, but I am built with a big figure, I don't think my hips would permit me to get below a size 8 unless if I purely became an anorexic. It all depends on you!

    Hi,

    I'm 45, 5' 8.5", Current weight is 164 (starting weight was 277). When I first started I wanted to reach 150 but these last 15 won't come off for the life of me. I'm thinking I might settle in here.

    I'm aiming for 145 (ish) - I haven't been in that range in so long that I plan to re-evaluate when I get closer. I am currently 185 (ish) and started around 210...

    I changed my target last night to 170. Gives me almost 30lb to lose, 180 was too high for me I think, 170 is much more realistic
