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!!! :)

170 baby!! I'm at 160 now and it's the lowest I've ever been. It's SOOO worth it!!

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 :(

Hey Lydia! Also see you are into the Digital Media - so cool! Me too!

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 :lol: )

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

I will feel better at 165
I will be happy at 155
I will be joyous at 145
I will be Delirious at 135

Thin again????? That would give the impression I was ever thin to begin with. :p

Well, I don't have an "again" weight but although goal is 130, I think when I hit about 160 I'll feel thin or at least not fat.

The lowest I have ever been since age 15 was 180, so like you courtnie, holly and lydia I don't know what it's like to be thin! (I am 5' 1'' so 180 is still alot).. So now, although it will be a while, but I am really excited about going below 180.. I am not sure how will I look thin, since I have never been, that's why am targeting 130, which I think should put me in size 12, which to me would be great!

My thin weight is 160. I WAS down to 160 2 summers ago - and right now I'm at 172. Don't get me wrong, i'm MUCH happier here than had I gained back ALL my weight...but I just want 160 back. That's where I was happy. I was a size 9/10 and had no complaints. (now i'm a 12 again)

i'm with you, teahoney... I can't ever remember being thin before... I went from being a child to being FAT!:p

I think when I get down to even 170, I'm going to start to feel slim again. I started at 233, and after i lost 20 pounds, I kept thinking "when am i going to start to feel slimmer?" The good news is that I am starting to feel it now (at 195-196) My "skinny" jeans from my 15 pounds ago are starting to slide off my hips all the time, so I've had to buy new clothes! I'm starting to notice it myself, which is GREAT!

I too, have naturally broad shoulders, so I think I'd look a bit strange less than 150. That also goes along well with my current lean body mass, which I'm trying desperately to keep. Skinny may not really be an option for me, but healthy and well-toned is, so that's what I'm aiming for.

My thin weight seem unobtainable. I, like many of you, am pretty short and currently 166. My highest was 180 but my health range is 98-128. 98 seems way to far away to think about so maybe 100-115. I have got to focus on little steps though. First my journey to 155!

I didn't realize that there were so many short gals like me! I'm 5' and am currently at 169. My cardiologist wants me at 125, but all the charts say between 100 - 117. I did get down to 117 seven years ago, but, (don't mean to sound gross) I quit having bowel movements. The doctor said that was to light for my frame, but dang, I loved wearing a size 4! Right now I'm in a 14 and I REALLY don't like it. I think I might start feeling thinner around 140. I found out that my paternal grandmother (I was adopted) was 5' and weighed about 250. Thanks for the genes, grandma! HE HE HE!

once I hit 149....I can feel my hip bones.....and if I'm toned, it's a solid size 8 in pants/skirts. (im 5/5" small frame) thankfully, my boobs usually hang around, but the backfat shrinks so my 36-Cs are on the smallest hook

For me it would be around 160, but I'm shooting for 140 since I'm only 5'3"

Sherri :carrot:

I think for me it's 130-135. I am almost 5'3" and don't have an overly large frame probably a little on the smaller side but not tiny either. I know for a fact that I would be looking REALLy good at that weight. That's why I have made my goal weight 135

well i'm like 5'3 1/2", built very small ( like i need small or extra small tops) and i basically gained weight on the bottom and thats where i want to lose it, like ontop its really gross cuz my ribs like show through my skin but i have all this flab on my thighs, hips and but. but i dont have a weight that i want to get to i just want to look good and be healthier, but maybe between 105 and 115, cuz i dont want to be underweight.

Well...150 is the "before I had kids" weight...very excited to get to that...

130 is the "before I got married" weight...that will be...I don't have the words to say what that will be. That will make me pee my pants happy!!

So 128 is the ultimate goal...which is 8 pounds heavier than my lightest adult weight but still do-able I think.

I think at 140 I will feel pretty thin again. I know I still felt a bit heavy at 150 and I was actually trying to lose weight when I got pregnant.

criminey, I think I'll feel thin if I can just get to 180! I haven't weighed that little since early college! Perhaps I'll change my mind when I get there, but by then I will have lost 115 pounds and would like to reassess.

Imagine that, ladies, I can't even imagine being the weight most of you are now, much less your goals!!!

I think I was thin in high school at 160 BUT I would love 175

"My thin again" weight will be 130-135 that would be around a size 4 and being 5'8 a size 4 will be thin for me. I can't wait to buy some size 4 clothes ( I am in a size 8 now)

Not sure I was ever "thin" but I remember being about 165-170 and was reasonably happy. I'll be thrilled when I get there! However, I'm pushing for around 150 which is kinda in the middle of the so called "healthy weight" for my height.

I am so right there with you TJac!!! I was 160-165 on my wedding day and that is my favorite picture of me. I looked fit and happy. :cloud9:

I was 155 "before kids"; 165 after last baby was born, so 165 would be my "ideal" thin weight, but realistically 170. I am 5'10", large framed woman, so if I can get to size 14 pants, what ever my weight is at that point will be good for me.

I think 175 would be a place to start. My lowest adult weight was 214. Im not to far off now. I have a friend with the same body shape and height she's at 160 and looks pretty good. Im aiming for 175 and if I feel ok I'll stay otherwise I'll shoot for less.

Kristine....Im a large frame 5' 9" I thought I was the only tall person here. Good to know! LOL.

In my teens and early 20's I was always around 120-125. But now that I'm a little older, I think that would be too thin. In fact, when I was 120-something, people DID tell me I was too thin. So I think 130 would be a good weight for me.

Mine's a physical thing. I want to lose the small chunk of fat I have on my LOWER inner thighs. I assume it's cellulite. Not sure exactly what cellulite looks like, but it's definitely a small bulge. Once those go, or flatten out, I can wear shorts and skirts. I will be sooo happy.

Mine's 135 - the high end of the healthy range for my height (5'2") - since I have one of those "yes my Eastern European ancestors passed on those built-for-really-cold-weather genes" bodies, anything below about 128 is pretty near impossible. I should be about a size 8 there, so I'll be pretty happy.

159 or less is my thin weight. This is where my BMI is 25 and I finally fall into the "normal" weight range. My doctor set my goal at 150 and I am trying to get to 145, but feel it would be easiest for me to maintain at 155. I am 5'7 and have a pretty large frame.

160 here, I am 5-7 with a medium frame, I am not concentrating on a goal weight, but I bet that at 160 I feel skinny,, ONEderland will just be a thrill
