I think my ultimate goal for my body isn't so much about being a certain weight, but is more so about being a size 10/12 and healthy enough that my weight doesn't get in the way of me living my life.
I'm a very pronounced pear-shape with a waist-to-hip ratio of .69 and I honestly think I'd be perfectly happy remaining "voluptuous" or "chubby." My current goal weight is 162 pounds, but I really wouldn't be opposed to dropping down to 152lb - 157lb, either; I have a pretty average sized frame, but I want to make my goal weight one that I know I can maintain long-term and I really feel as though I could maintain in the 160s or 150s, even though I'd still be somewhere between 7lbs - 17lbs overweight based on the BMI scale, depending on where I decide to stop losing and start to maintain.
I'm 5'8, currently varying between 134-138 these last few weeks (trying to 'settle' in maintenance, after reaching my original goal of 140 last October).
I wear a size 8 exactly, neither tight nor loose -- so not super skinny, no.
I would describe myself as looking "thin" and "fit" in most clothing. Occasionally I am surprised to see that I can look skinny-skinny (in some clothing) as well as voluptuous (in other certain clothing, in a bathing suit or naked).
I'm not going to lie, my goal is to be thin. I'd love to be superskinny, but my body isn't built that way, and I know it'll never happen. I like my curves, but I know that fat isn't what's making them, and even if I drop a bunch of weight I'll still have bigger hips than my waist and big boobs... but that doesn't mean I can't also be thin.
Im not looking to be super skinny, I dont want any bones sticking out! I just dont want any fat rolls! Id like to keep my curves but not be chunky or on the verge of fat.
I am a true hourglass. At 5'5 and 176 pounds, my measurements are 42/32/42. I wear a size 14/16 in pants and a medium/large in tops. I wear a size 38D bra. I'm naturally muscular and I got some curves. Even at 176 (ew, ew, ew!) I only look like I weight about 160. Thank my Hispanic heritage. However, blessed or not, I'm nowhere near satisfied.
My goal weight is 140. I've been there before (when I was 14; I'm 16 now) and although at that point I hadn't stopped growing and developing, I was still curvaceous all over. Booty, hips, thighs, and a substantial chest for a 14-year-old. Somehow, even after I get the weight off, I don't see my curves going away.
I don't want to be rail-thin, although there are certainly some very beautiful women out there who are. But that isn't even going to be me. I just want to be healthy and fit. I want to be able to wear a bathing suit, a fitted top, and cute jeans or shorts without feeling self-conscious.
I just wanna be slim and healthy. Anything less than 130 lbs on me and I start to look a little weird in the face. And I like my butt (as does the bf), and I'm sad that my chest is the first area to decrease in size when my weight drops.
I'm an hourglass shape right now, and I know my hips won't be going anywhere even when I get to goal. I want to keep my curves but just have them toned and tight. My husband said he absolutely does not want to see any bones, and that's fine by me too. Lol!
My goal is 120 and that was a pretty good weight for me. I have always been hourglass shaped want to be at a weight where I can still be curvy. My goal is to be a size 4 because I wore that in highschool but for most of my life before that I was a 6 and was fine with that.
thank you. You're a real inspiration to me!
