Yoga Working Out Running Weight Loss

What's Your Weight Status?

May 21, 2009

We're all on different points of our journey when it comes to our bodies. Some of you may be trying to lose weight or gain weight, and some may be trying to maintain their current weights. I believe that sharing your weight goals can help you meet them, so tell me . . .

I've been pretty happy with my weight for a while now because I have found an eating and exercise lifestyle that seems to work well for me. I go to the gym daily for almost 2 hours and I eat an extremely clean diet full of high quality protein & non-starchy vegetables! I will forever live this way, junk food just doesn't appeal to me one bit!

I'm at 122, trying to get to 118. Four pounds should be easy, right? It's not though.

I would like to lose 2 more dress sizes.

I lost 60 lbs a few years back, but have let about half slip back on in the post-college, move in with the fiance, eat at friend's houses who don't cook the same way I do phase of my life. I also let workouts slip away with a crazy schedule and 2 surgeries in that time, and that was not a smart idea. I need to jump back into where I was two years ago and really get back on track. Part of the problem is that I carry weight well, so it wasn't until recently that I really saw that I had put on weight.

I'm losing right now, and not really working on it, even though I need it.. Just got under 30 in BMI, and looking better every day. Only thing I've changed is that I didn't renew my monthly bus pass, so now I ride my bike everywhere, it's only 10 mins to uni and 20 mins uphill back home, but it really works wonders! Plus my day starts a little earlier and I feel refreshed when I come to uni, ready to hit the books! Love it <3

I've lost 37 pounds since October. For health reasons, I had to lose 20 pounds, but I wanted enough of a cushion that if I did gain some weight back, it wasn't to the unhealthy point again. I'm being closely watched by my doctor, and in my last visit, he said that I could slow it down. I have 13 pounds for my personal guide to go.

I'm in pretty good shape but would love to be about 105 lb. Right now I weigh 116 and I'm 5'3. I do Yoga about 5 times a week and just want lean muscle.

I've lost 8 lbs in a little less than a month! Go me! :WOOHOO: Produce, water, exercise!! Got another 20 or so to go. Technically I should lose about 35 to get to a normal BMI, but I'm with Smacks on the Latina body type... I got my white dad's height and my Tejana mama's curves! Best of both if you ask me, but it skews my BMI. When I get to the bottom edge of the overweight BMI I'll re-evaluate if I want to go the extra 10-15. I weighed in at the bottom of the overweight BMI for most of my late teens and docs all said I was super healthy, so I know #'s don't mean everything... "Can't do a pushup to save my life, but I can kick through a thick wooden door like a mule." ROFL! Me too!!

I've lost almost 25lbs since last year but I still have about 20 to go. I'm fighting through a plateau now.. and it's summer and gah the cold beer. Still, I'll keep trudging along. I'm not taking any classes summer quarter and plan to use that time to work out/play outside more. Also gonna try to get more into yoga.

i was dangeroously overweight but have since lost 24 lbs; i have 20 more to go until my weight is in a healthy/less dangerous zone. its important for me to get there safely and healthily and change my life in ways i can keep up even after the weight is gone. my family history puts me at very high risk for diabetes (all four of my grandparents, father is at risk) and also heart problems, as well as risks from the birth control pill i am on.

Trying to maintain... I should probably gain though. But I like the way I look now. Being tall (5'10") makes me feel big even though I'm not. ~120 pounds.

Wow, I can't believe 23 people are trying to gain weight. I am one of them, but I often feel quite alone in my predicament (overexercising... eating a good amount, but not enough for my physical activity level...) I know I don't get much sympathy, but it's harder than people think to gain... I'm sure you other 23 people know exactly what I'm talking about!

I'm 5'4. I would like to lose about 15lbs. Currently, I just want to get the first 5 off. When I can't fit into my jeans, then I know there's a problem. I would also like to tone up again. Because I was sick, I was on hiatus from working out all of April and apparently that meant i could eat whatever i wanted. . . nooo.

Same as most, its not all about the weight loss, id just like to tone and drop a size

Lilybeth84 4 years

I'm not so concerned about the number on the scale, but how I look. I'm focused on making myself stronger and toning up.

I've put on about 5-7 lbs over the last year or so and I'm trying to maintain it now. I think my body looks better with the extra weight on because I'm naturally a very muscular person. My family still thinks I'm too skinny, but I think that they think that because they remember me as being overweight. I lost about 90 lbs after I left for college, so I've been on both sides of the weight scale. I think my body's pretty happy at around 110, so I think I should maintain it.

I'm trying to gain some weight, since I lost some during intense work-outs.

I finally gained a dress size, so I'm in maintenance mode. This post is so timely, as I was just thinking about this recently. I really love the extra weight. It went to all the right places, and I feel so womanly.

I'm trying to gain about 10-15 pounds to my small frame but its hard for me as much as it is for others to lose weight. It really sucks when people think that this isn't a "big deal" or they roll their eyes as it so I just try to keep it to myself.

7 lbs to pre-baby weight. :p Not in a hurry to lose it, but somehow, I thought to myself, might as well do it this year so next year I'll have different goal for myself :D
