    I'm almost 5'9". I was ill once and lost enough weight that I was down below 120. :( I looked horrible. I went from a C cup to an A, none of my clothes fit, and my bones protruded. So, no, no 120 goal weight for me. I like around 140 - 145.

    I'm 5'7 1/2 and about 119 lbs. I've always been thin. I gave birth to my son at 143 lbs.

    I'm 5'8" and started out at 260lbs. I spend most of my time at around 150-155 comfortably (with little effort from a food portion perspective). I'm a competitive bodybuilder and in my last competitive season I got down to 144 - giving me a hug was like cuddling a little bag of antlers. No Bueno!! I like the 155lb range for the steady state!!

    I am 5'8". I started at 225. My starter goal is 170. When I get close I will reevaluate.

    I'm slightly shorter at 5'7" and two years ago I started at 215 and got down to 140-142 and I didn't look too good. My hips and shoulders were sticking out quite a bit, kind of as if I was sucking all the time. I've since went back up to 189 and now I'm working on getting to about 150ish.

    This is me at 175 pounds, I think 15 less would look perfect, get rid of the last bits of flab, according to BMI, I could lose 50 pounds and still be healthy. 50 pounds??! That's like a huge bag of dog food, where would it even come off? Goes to show I guess, how different it is for everyone!

    Thank you for posting this! I am 5' 9" and my goal honestly is 185. And I'll see how I feel at that weight. Maybe then go to 175. But I could NEVER get down to 150 and maintain it. Ever. People are calling me "skinny" now and I'm not down to 185 at all.

    I'm 5'8" and currently happily maintaining at 82-85kg (180-187).

    I got down to 150lb, and it was too skinny for me. Bulked back up here with now zero intentions of cutting any weight. Other than shifting my range to 80-83kg, just cause water loading to make weight for meets sucks.

    I'm 5'8" and I want to be around 160-170. I was 170 in HS (Although I never looked my weight so people guessed 140) only for me to gain 30 pounds and be 200. (Although people assumed I'm 170ish). I can tell the difference though severely in my body and would love to go back down to my original weight.

    I'm closer to 5'9" and my goal is to stay around 130lb, more specifically goal is to have waist at 28" and that's about it, really, more than the pounds; if I can gain some muscle in my butt then bigger hip measurement would be OK with me but not seeking to get bigger anywhere at this point.

    I am built streamlined and not curvy I guess, and historically have looked best when pretty light, 125-130. But at 125lb I had 20% bodyfat and was 33-28-35, with 18" thighs; made an effort to gain fitness and muscle (bulk) now at 135lb I am 20% bodyfat and 35-29-37 with thighs at least 21" so think I gained appx. 8lb muscle and 2lb fat, and am not sure I can drop much without losing healthy body mass. So goal is changed to waist size not weight.

    Me too. If I was more hourglass shaped or even pear shaped I'd probably be happier with a higher weight. But I'm either apple or square shaped so a lighter weight suits me (unless I get butt and boob implants :smiley: lol)

    I'm 5'8" (42 yrs old) and have been maintaining around 138-140lbs for two years now. I lost about 15 lbs and feel like this is the perfect weight for me. Since I wasn't technically overweight it was not as much about losing weight, it was reducing my BF%.

    I want your stomach. <3 (I mean that in a super non-creepy way!) You look fab.

    Thank you!! I appreciate the compliment! :smile:

    I am 5'9 my SW was 163, and my CW is 145. I would love to lose the lower belly pudge, but I am fast losing the curves that my guy loves so I am stopping here for now. I am still very "healthy" looking at this weight though, not too skinny at all, at 163 my pants got too tight and I was tired of having to tuck my stomach under my waistband when I sat down :)

    I'm 5'8" (maybe a tiny bit taller) and I weigh 185 lbs currently.

    At my lowest I weighed 136 lbs. I wore a size 6, sometimes even a 4. I looked great! That was 13 years ago : )

    Now I would be ecstatic with 150. 160 wouldn't be bad either. I'd like to get into the "normal" BMI range - I'm currently towards the high end of the "overweight" range. At my heaviest I was in the lower part of the obese range.
