IpswichPav 6 Posted November 1, 2013 I am 5' 10" and am shooting for 170. I lost a lot of weight 10 years ago and got down to 155, my high school weight. Looking at pictures now, I was too thin. I think that as you age (I am 45 now), being too thin can make you look gaunt and older as you lose the softness in your cheeks. In any case, anything is better that 314 pounds! 1 back2barb78 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honeyg317 107 Posted November 1, 2013 5'10" and my goal is 175#. I think that will look good and still give me some curves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
back2barb78 890 Posted March 31, 2014 I'm 5'9" and I had set my 1st personal goal at 220lbs and my second at 170, but am flexible. The nutritionist set my weight for 177 lbs but measured me at 5'8" for some reason but I know that's wrong. I plan on seeing how I feel as I get to each weight. I have yo-yoed through the years and blew UP once I started nursing school and never went back. I've seen myself at a lot of weights and hope I don't go into/below 160s. For my frame it's a bit thin and my hip bones start sticking out and people started questioning what was up (people don't know if they want you fat or thin). Everyones version of thin is relative and my boy also doesn't care for it. I guess I'll see what happens {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(} Wanted to update my Glamazon girls!! I'm 2lbs away from my 1st goal of 220 and feeling great! I'm still 5'9" (I was 5'10" since high school) but next time I go to the doc, I'm going to have them do it again. Although people calling me "skinny" I think is ridiculous. I'm trying to adjust to the change in how people treat you (it's very strange sometimes) and I don't like people commenting on my body or looking me up and down. I just want them to accept that I'm different now (this is the people that have known me for the past 6-7 years because to the people that have known me for a long time the fat me was abnormal). I'm going to be leaving my job in a few weeks and moving to a different area in May which was always the plan anyway in to be near my love, advance as far as my career, and hopefully start a family next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MizzouFan1 88 Posted March 31, 2014 I am 5'10 (30 years old) and shooting for about 140s. SW 280. Its a lofty goal but I won't to be on the lighter side of my range just to give myself a buffer in case a few lbs get added back on a few years out. I have never been under 200 my adult life in fact I think I first weighed in at 200 in middle school so I am not even sure what it would be like for me to be in the 100s. I guess if I look like Skeletor at 150 I will feel comfortable with that but only time will tell. Great post by the way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MizzouFan1 88 Posted March 31, 2014 Just over 5' 8 in a half and I am 168. Looking to be 153. You look fabulous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MizzouFan1 88 Posted March 31, 2014 Goal weights will change as you see your self I'm 5'8 at 171 my goal was 185 I was happy either way but not tryna get to normal bmi if 165 this is how I look Ppl mostly feel like they look sick because your not use to seeing yourself that small but my advice is get down at least 10 pound under what you really wanna be .. I decide to let my sleeve lead me Kim you look wonderful! Great advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mkak 251 Posted March 31, 2014 Hey ladies! Forgot all about this thread! Everyone is looking and doing great! I'm in a funk of a mood today, so I'm about to slightly hijack this thread. In need of some gals like me to weigh in... I promise, I'll revert back to our regularly scheduled show after this tangent I'm about 20 pounds from goal of 165 (5'10). I've upped my calories to about 1,250/day (gradually did this over a 2-3 month period). Curious, how many calories is everyone else getting in while still trying to lose? I'm still losing about a pound a week, but am nervous I may have jumped the gun on increasing calories. I've developed a love for lifting heavy weights (feels so strange that I just typed that LOL), so I know I need some fuel to get me through my workouts without going down! When I started this journey I told myself I would stop when I got to a size 10. Welp, I'm officially here (rocking some new Ann Taylor size 10 slacks today YAY) but I'm still not happy to be honest. Recently I've been struggling with accepting/dealing with what I've done to my body as a result of getting so heavy (wonky skin, lower stomach that could scare the boogie man, inner thigh horror, etc.). In clothes I'm fairly happy, but GOD FORBID I catch a glimpse of myself after just getting out of the shower or otherwise naked. Anxiety, tears, dozens of texts to my mom, etc. ensues (I'm so totally dramatic, I know). Anyone else struggle with this? I try to remind myself everyday that this is a marathon and not a sprint, but hot damn this is getting exhausting LOL!

But my personal goal is 200 the dr wants me at 175. What u all think I think it depends on how you feel as you go. We all carry weight different on our frame too and we could all weigh the same but look different. I have extra long legs and tend to look smaller than I weigh. I think you look AMAZING now. People are telling you that because they're used to you being bigger as well. Good luck on your continued journey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
