    To you ladies who are 5'4", some questions :)

    - what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)
    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
    - what is your goal weight and why?
    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)
    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;)

    I am 5'3". My build is medium. I currently weigh 169 and wear a size 12 in pants. My goal weight is 145. I am 44 and the mom to 5 kids. I adopted three of them so the last one that I gave birth to is 22:)

    I'm 5'3... I have a medium build. I weigh 155, with a 14 pants size (big hips and bottom!). I'd like to get back to around 125 pounds. I'm 39 years old, and had twins 16 years ago. I guess I can't claim that it's baby weight anymore! LOL!

    1) I'm a large build.

    2) Currently I am 177lbs and am in a size 8-10 pants and mainly medium shirts, some I need a large.

    3) My first goal weight is 160lbs then I will be re-evaluating.. ultimately I think I want to get to 145-150lbs. I chose 160 as this weight was a good goal for a trip I am taking in October and figured it was achievable :)

    4) I'm 41.

    5) I have 2 kids 17 & 21.

    I'm 5"3 and a half. I tell people I'm 5"5 though.

    I dunno my build but since the last time I was 125lbs my body fat percentage was still too high and my stomach was flat but not even a hint of abs though I did sit ups each night hoping. I had a small waist but heavy in the chest and bottom so I wore a 10 but tailored the waist.

    At my highest 230lbs I was wearing a size 16 jean. I've lost 10 and they are looser but I'm still a 16.

    My goal is to reach somewhere between 125-145lbs I figure since muscle weighs more than fat and I plan to be in better shape I'll have to rely on my muscle tone rather than the scale. But wearing a size 8/10 is my goal.

    I am 24 years old and I have one child.

    Right now my goal is 90lb because I just feel like I need to tone up a little bit. I might not get to 90lb in the first place.

    - what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)
    i guess medium but i wouldn't know to be honest

    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
    i'm 143 right now and all my jeans are size 10-12 and are way too big on me. i'm guessing i should be fitting into a size 8-9 now, but i decided not to buy jeans until i reach my goal weight

    - what is your goal weight and why?
    120, because that's where i think i'll be happy with my body. could change as my weight loss progresses

    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)
    20, on my way to 21

    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) )
    no and don't plan on it for at least 8 more years

    - what kind of build are you? I've always felt like I have a meduim-large build
    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? currently weigh 155, parts are typically 12-15's.. dress size 10 though.
    - what is your goal weight and why? Overall goal is 125 but if I develop enough muscle and et rid of the pouch I will settle for 135-145. Last time I was that weight I could fit into a size 9. [Curves are the bane of my existence when it comes to clothes shopping..]
    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing) 24
    - and have you had any kids? No kids. I'm actually terrified of having them because I don't want to be bigger.

    Hi Becca! I am probably a medium build at a healthy weight, but at my current weight I feel like I am large :( Last official weigh-in had me at 221.4 lbs. I have the wonderful "apple" shape so I'm hoping to get rid of most of my belly. I usually wear a size 18 right now, sometimes a 16. I am 22 years old. My goal weight is around 128 lbs, but I might stop earlier or later depending on how I feel. I'm shooting for that weight because I want to be healthy, since I am at risk for weight-related health problems that run in my family, and because I want to feel better about myself. I don't have any children yet, but I want to get in shape before I get married and have children in the future.
