Default What's your "I'm thin again" weight?

I'm curious what everyone's "i'm thin again" weight? For me it's 157. I'm 5'3" with an athletic build. 157 generally means i'm a size 8/10. Once i break back into the 150s i know i'm almost there. Anything under 140 gets into the "i don't think i can maintain this" level of skinny for me.

See, i'm not greedy! I'm not looking for 120! Give me 157 and i'm happy!

How about you guys? When do you know you've made it back to thin(ish)?

my "i'm thin again" would definately be 130. 150 doesn't look bad on me...but 130 made me look slim. espeically in my face and my shoulders. i feel soooo broad now. i don't want to wear anything sleeveless or strappy or strapless because i feel like my back is amile across. so, i definately want to see 130 again!!!

That would be 120-122.

I have no clue what I weigh right now, but I think I might be about 7 lbs off of that. Dont get me wrong I am fine at what I am, but if I lost down to 120-122 I would be ecstatic. That would take me down a size. Plus I would have some leeway and not have to watch every single thing that goes in my mouth!!!

I am 5'2. I have Dr. appt on May 17th. I will know then what I weigh.

I dont know... I dont remember being any smaller then 170. At 170 I looked okay but was still heavy. I am aiming for 130 as that is a healthy weight for my short height of 5'2. But I don't want to be so skinny that I look sick. So I will kinda of play it be year. But I want to be at a healty weight.

It would definitely be in the 120's. According to BMI thingy, a healthy weight for someone 4'11" would be anywhere between 92 to 123 lbs, with the 'normal' weight at 107lbs.

92lbs sounds extreme, 107 sounds ok but perhaps a bit too optimistic, but I'll be happy at 120-something. I'm not going to push it.

I've never been thin and I'm really not looking to be. I just want to be healthy, you know? I think 130 will be a good weight for me. I haven't weighed that little since I was 11, which is pretty sad.

For me, it's below 160 because that puts me at a size 8 or 10. I hit 161 at the end of January and felt awesome but poor eating habits have caused me to go up to 170...

I figure if I get to around 157 I'll be pretty happy with that. Any lower and I'd look funny because my rib cage is pretty wide and I naturally have wide shoulders...don't want that upside down 'V' look

BTW - I'm 5'7 and have tree trunk thighs - lol

I don't even remember weighing 130... but it was probably around the age or 10 or 11. So I know how you feel

I've never been thin as an adult so I don't know what my "thin weight" will be. But when I was 16 I weighed 160, I remember I was still overweight but my stomach seemed a lot smaller than it is now. So I'm really looking forward to being 160-something.

i'm at a weight I kinda don't like because I'mm missing my boobs . I too would rather be a healthy weight than a thin weight, like Lydia and Courtnie mentioned.

Courtnie: The only reason I know is because I found an entry in an old diary that I'd written down my weight. One of my early attempts to lose weight that inevitably failed. But yeah, it really is sad that I started off so big. 130lbs at 4'9" is really bad. Really, really bad. If I'd just grown up tall I probably would've been fine Oh, how I wish it worked like that.

Yah - I KNOW that feeling. I keep thinking "maybe I will grow into it" and all I did was get fatter. BUT I blame not standing on the scale for that. For the longest time I was around the same weight. And then I blew up. And I really think it was because I stopped weighing myself. SO I WILL NOT let that happen again!

For me I'm looking forward to 165! That's the weight I was when I moved out of my parents house after high school, and at the time I thought I was horridly fat. (I had a whole nother thing coming to me )

Now I can't wait until I get back to 165...
