Do you consider yourself fat or overweight? It is sad when very skinny people will say "I want to lose 4 pounds by this weekend" or something of the sort, it seems like many people are never truly happy with their bodies? Are you happy with the size you are? Ideally how much weight would you like to lose? I am 5'8 roughly 170-175 pounds I am gradually losing weight and becoming happier about my body, My goal for the time being is 30 pounds to lose. What do you think? Before I had kids I was at 126 pounds and was actually wanting to get down to 120 pounds! I thought I still had weight left to lose, I really though just needed to tone up some by exercising.

I dont think that im every going to be happy with my weight. Im 5'3 right now, and weight 108 pounds. I know that im not "fat" or "chubby" but I still see myself as really average. I think that im somewhat chubby, and my goal weight is 95 pounds. Its not that far away now, so im working extra hard to reach my goal. Oh, and just incase anyone says that 95 pounds is too thin, it is still within my BMI. And considered a healthy weight.

I would like to be 125, but I would LOVE to be 120!! That is what I weighed before I had kids, and after my second baby I am finding it hard to lose some of the weight. I am at 131 and doing the Slim-Fast diet with alot of exersicing, it is pretty good. I am not as miserable drinking the shakes as I was on the first day =)
