I'm currently 121 and my stomach sticks out and my thighs and butt sag, so that is not a good weight for me. When I weighed 110, I looked good without all that, so that's my goal weight. I'm 5'4 SW 138 lbs CW 121 lbs GW 110 lbs

I wonder if she's in the 1% and exactly how she did it (?) I just heard about this in the news today, so I looked it up: http://washington.cbslocal.com/2015/07/20/study-probability-of-obese-people-reaching-normal-weight-less-than-1/

I can't find anyone as old as I am with the same goals who is my twin also. So, you're kinda close. I'm 47. My current weight is 122 and my goal is 110. If I get muscular w/ weights though, then 115 might be ok. I'm also 5'4"

I'm only 1/2 way through the list, but so far, you two have come the closest. I'm only a lot older than you both though, at 47, but it's too bad neither of you have pictures. I'm curious to see what 110 looks like on 5'4" because that was my goal (I'm 122 now), but I may change to 105 like you, depending on what it looks…

My stats: SW: 138 CW: 122 lbs (8.7 stones) (55 Kg) H: 5'4" (163 Cm) GW: 110 lbs (7.9 stones) (50 Kg) Age: 47 I just want to be a size zero or 2 (like Snookie's size) - I mean not that short, but that level of thinness - not sure what weight that will be, so 110 is my closest guess so far but I don't lift weights or work…

you have this special group for fitbit questions that doesn't make it easy to search for answers on and your rules for what to post/not to post, are not clear. I can't figure out how you decide what's an ok question, vs. what is not. I just went into general discussions and typed in "fitbit" and it seems there are a lot of…

Please bare with me. Where are the "stickies"? I've also tried the search feature. I do realize this is MFP but thought it was ok to ask questions here, according to the title of this discussion thread. So are you saying it would just be better to search the regular non-fitbit forums on MFP to post a question there? I have…

i just got a fitbit charge yesterday and am very close to returning the thing out of sheer frustration and the inability to find answers anywhere. So, wondering if any of you who have one, can help. I did no exercise today at all, and I made sure I didn't wear the thing because i didn't want to risk that it would put…

I just got the fitbit charge HR. I didn't realize it was going to be as complicated as it seems it is, from reading these posts. However, every time somebody posts a valid question, they're told to go repost elsewhere because supposedly, it won't be seen here. When I try to search on where to go to find answers, I can only…

-- just for reference, I too am 5'4 and 122 now, which is size 4. I think when I was 138, that was a size 6 for me.

5'4" SW: 138 CW: 122 GW: 110-115 - I'll know when I get there. I'm trying to lower my body fat from 25% to 20% and at 122, I still have some blubber. Although some say 110 is too skinny - it wasn't for me. I used to weigh that and it looked good.

26

i'm guessing 18 because of your user name but you do look 18 anyway

I can't yet see other pictures because even though this is letting me post, it keeps saying the site is down for maintenance, when i try to view a picture.

snowfox1 gave me the answer I was looking for - I guess I'm confused on what #'s will get me where, such as what 18.9 BMI will look like on me, or what a certain # of body fat percentage will look like on me or what a certain weight will look like on me. I am going for looks mainly and the way snowfox1 looks is the way I…

I'm not sure what body fat % snowfox1 is, but the way she looks is what I'm aiming for.

I just saw your gorgeous profile pic and you're very similar to me, except that I wish my torso was longer like yours. Anyway, so, now I see that 115 would be perfect if I could work out that much too. So excited to have a more clear-cut goal now - and even get to eat up to 1500 calories sometimes!

- perfect! Just the answer I was looking for - along with the helpful 18% body fat answer. Thank you SO much, everybody!! :)

--18% bf may be a good goal for me to work toward then, because right now, my body fat scale is reading 25%. I know those things aren't accurate, but the way i do it is to weigh myself under the same conditions at the same time everyday and note the percentage here in mfp.

maybe if I started lifting weights, then 110 would end up looking too thin for me too, so since I don't yet work out, it's just a starting point for me to work toward. If I got to 115 and looked the way I want to look, then I'd adjust my goal.

Yeah, I've been trying to plan a little at a time, learning as I go. I have not had to cook for myself really, in most of my life, being able to just eat to-go stuff mostly and if I ever cooked, it was always a big meal of pasta - until I hit my 40's and the weight started sticking. So, that's why it's sort of new to me,…

I looked up her BMI. I don't know her age, so I just had to base it off my age, but it said 21.1 BMI, so you're right - that's a big difference. But actually, I then realized I made a mistake in my original post - I'm aiming for a BMI of 18.9 and not 18.5. 18.9 is considered to be in the healthy range of the chart here on…

I've been this way for years and have never been able to make it faster. I guess it's because I'm not very smart and I'm terrible at multi-tasking. So, it takes me 2 hours and that includes also making dinner, which is simple - chicken & veggies or spaghetti squash and sauce or beans and cheese or rice. Lunches are just…

- thank you! :) I also don't believe these chart labels of what is "healthy" vs. "unhealthy", because 121 lbs for a 5'10" model would be considered "unhealthy" according to the charts, but yet, that weight is on the heavier side for a model. It's just easier to fit into clothes and not have to wear spanx. My goal is to be…

-- i use the weight as the goal, since I had prior experience being that weight and knowing what it looked like on me. The body fat % would just be more complicated to try to figure out, not knowing exactly what percentage I would need to aim for, to have my firm body back again. When I was 110 and I got tested, I got the…

- because that was the weight I was when I didn't have a big handful of fat around my stomach and the saggy butt and thighs I have now.

I mispelled "linke" i know it's link. Anyway, as for whether her goals are too aggressive or not, I wasn't commenting on an opinion one way or the other on that topic, because I haven't done any further research into that.

Everybody, I was the person who posted earlier that she was going for an unhealthy BMI of 17.2. It's more like 17.4, so I was a little off, but not that it makes a big difference for this point, but I wanted to get back on here and apologize to Ms. naomibashala for my whole misunderstanding about the world of models and…

no but my neighbor's house caught fire and they came running over to our house for safety! HYE eaten snails?

no but i fell asleep sitting. have YOU ever fallen asleep standing? Sopapillas are fried flour tortillas that puff up and you put honey in them or fill them with ground beef and cheese. They have them in New Mexico Mexican Restaurants.
