[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who is 5'7" and went to 147 - that is a great weight, and even 167 was not bad at all, so why is your goal now 135?So that you have some wiggle room? I am 5'8" and was super slim before we moved to US and now I am trying to desperately get back to my good old 165, from 185pds...When I hear that people think the proper number is 147pds for roughly my height, I am so discouraged since it was basically my high school weight. Unless you are a much younger person?  Anyway, congrats to you all ladies and guys moving to your goals....[/quote]

I just noticed you mentioned HS weight. I was 112 lbs in HS and through my 20s. I had not a lot of muscle, I guess I'm an "ectomorph" body type naturally?[/quote]

I have the reverse I’m only 7-10 lbs more than my high school weight but size wise it’s like 3 sizes. I was solid muscle in high school and college, long distance running and lap swimming in my 20s and 30s, tiny waist, flat abs, toned everywhere because I was so active. Now even though I have a normal weight and not insanely higher than my high school weight I look chubby or fat. My legs are still muscular but my core is a disaster. After kids I started carry weight in my middle. I’m short so 5 or 10 lbs make a difference but if you’re going for your younger body it will take diet and exercise. [/quote]

I posted on another thread about the value of body composition testing. I got mine done at Composition ID but there are other places that do it too. My weight is not much different from high school, but my muscle tone is awful and I feel soft all over. I am working on strength training, getting more protein, and increasing my calories to around 1400 (up from 1200). Despite the increase in calories, I’ve lost 7 lbs in 10 weeks.[/quote]
