Ht. 5'5", Start: 180 lb, Today: 140 lb (BMI %tile: 79), Goal: 120 lb - My doctor said I was really obese and that I was a risk of diabetes. I lost a lot of weight and I felt proud. I got a lot of attention from everyone and finally got those solos at dance. But then my mom said I looked to awfully skinny and my doctor said I need to gain 'some' weight.But I don't know how much. At first losing weight was so hard, but then I changed my lifestyle and got the hang of it and it was easier. Now I feel like I can control my weight. All of you out there don't give up cause in the end you will feel proud of yourself!

Gain some weight? Seems to me like you're at a perfect weight right now, but I guess it really depends on body type and other factors. Congrats on losing 40 lbs, that's a huge accomplishment!
