Mine's probably higher than most: 170. I kinda have a lot of muscle, and I don't really carry weight in my stomach, so I think I'll look decent at that weight. If I'm not satisfied, maybe 165 at the very least. I can't imagine myself being 120-140!

But when is it going to go away? I want an accurate reading of how much I weigh on the scale

Thanks everyone!!! I know 11 not really a small size, but it's good motivation for me to keep going!!

Turning 21 sooon!!!!! :)

I think that's the problem with this thread; everyone has different definitions of curvy. And there's nothing wrong with that, but maybe we should let people just think what they want, instead of the "You're wrong, I'm right" stuff that is/was going on.

There are a lot of people with wide hips that I would not consider curvy. And yeah, my example was extreme, but the point I was trying to make is that to me, there are a lot of factors than go into being curvy. Weight distribution and body shape are equally important. And I'm sorry, but the words "curvy skeleton" sound…

Thanks for the responses guys!!! I was kinda looking more for songs I could download, but that okay, I just glad people answered! :)

Well good for you!!! Unfortunately, at 100 pounds, I would be underweight and in the hospital. So many people are like "my skeleton, can't change my skeleton!!!" Um, your bone structure only goes so far. If that's the case, let me drop down to 70 pounds and become emaciated on my death bed. But nope, I'll still be "curvy"…

I get this post!!!! What she means is those of us who are curvy not to get too wrapped up in weightloss and turn into a bag of bones, Although I know curvy is a body shape and you're either curvy or not, I'm pretty sure if I dropped down to like 100 lbs at 5'7, I wouldn't be curvy anymore, just sickly-looking.

Probably the cutest thing I've read alll day!!!!!!

I'm a junior in college and it's HAAAAARD. It was way easier to lose weight in the summer. I don't have to worry about budgeting but I still live on campus w/ the dining courts and the temptation is HORRIBLE. It's so easy to overeat. And I'm taking 18 credit hours and working on top of that so most of the time I'm too…

When I first got my license, I was about 60 pounds heavier than the number on there loool. When the DMV woman asked me how much I weighed, I was like, "185?" even though I knew I was waaay heavier than that. She looked at me and was like, "Nah, you don't look like you weigh that much, I'm going to put you down as 160" to…

Me!! I've never followed a plan, I just went a little bit further everytime. I remember when I could barely run a 1/4 of a mile. Now I can run a mile with ease, and 2 miles on a really good day. I would like to be able to fully run (w/out walk breaks) 3 miles, or a 5k. That's my next goal.

Me unfortunately lol

Nonsense!!!! As my grandmother would say, "There's a lid for every pot". You WILL find someone who loves you the way you are now and is happy to see you achieve your goals!! Maybe you guys should try couples counseling, but honestly if things continue the way they are, then you should get out of the relationship!!!!

I look nothing like my parents. I look like a combination of my Dad's sisters and a little bit of my Mom's sister. What's weird is that people say me and my brother look alike, but he takes after both of my parents

My boobs, arms, and thighs. I haaaate my arms!!! Never really carried weight in my stomach, and I don't have much of a butt lol

Probably teeth, especially white and straight ones!!

Me!! I was eating 1280 calories, and not only was I only losing about a half a pound a week, but I also was a lot more tired and felt like I wasn't eating enough. I changed my MFP goal to 1500 and in the past two weeks I've lost 6 pounds (3 lbs a week), plus I feel like I have more energy! And when I go over my calorie…

BUMP. I'm a junior in college now, majoring in elementary education, and it's interesting to read how teachers manage their weight in the summer!

I freakin' love this.

Ugh!!! My mom's always like "Why are you trying to be a size 5? You've never been tiny, you're just a bigger girl, blah, blah, blah" First of all, I'm not trying to be a size 5, and even though I do have a larger body frame, I hardly think being 200+ pounds at 5'6 qualifies me as being just "a bigger girl", it's just too…

In mini-breaks between running at a 6.5-6.7, I'll usually walk at a 3.8-4.0 on a 2.0 incline.

I'm 20! :)

Hahahahaha, I'm different than everyone else......I'm still a complete FB addict and I get on there at least once a day. One time, I didn't log on for like 4 days, and I felt SOOO lost!!! It does help me stay in touch with my family and friends, and I'm pretty nosy so I like to see what other people are up to…

Okay, I think I get it now!!!! Thanks guys!!! I love MPF, everyone is so helpful. I do have it set to lose 2lbs a week, and I just found out my BMR is 1719, so I will definitely have to go in and manually adjust it!!! And I will also be sure to eat back more (or all) of my exercise calories!!

So should I only pay attention to my net calories?

I eat back some exercise calories. On a typical exercise day, I burn about 600-800 calories, so on those days I try to eat at least 1500 calories.

Hi!!! I'm a junior in college and trying to lose 15-20 more pounds. Feel free to add me!! And that also applies to all the rest of you on this thread!!

The sucky thing about stretch marks is that they never completely go away :( But the best thing to do it to keep them moisturized. I have some, and I rub cocoa and shea butter on them daily. It helps!!! In time they will fade to a ligther, whitish color. There's also bio-oil but I don't know if it works and there some more…
