    I'm 5'7.5 and am currently happy with the number on the scale (132), but ideally would like to be 128 just because I know that when I am really trying to be healthy, that is where I have been before. Mostly I just want to be more toned then I am currently.

    I'm 5'8" and I'm currently 164 lbs....I started with MFP at 177 lbs and my goal is to get back to at least 135 lbs. which was my regular weight before I had 3 kids....And to think I thought I was fat back when I weighed 135! Good luck on your journey!

    I'm 5' 8 and I weigh 243 now . I have lost almost 100 pounds . My goal weight is 160 . Once I'm there if I need to lose more I will . When I was 16 and 160 I wore a sz 8 . I would be happy with that again .

    Currently I'm at 148, my goal is 135. That is where I've always liked my weight.

    It was 150 but I think I decided not to care for a while.

    I'm 5 ft 8 inches and my goal weight is 160lbs. I think that's perfect for me. :smile: Good luck!

    I'm 5' 8" and in my current profile picture I'm 142. Goal weight is 135 which is probably the lowest I'll go. I've been happy in the past with anywhere from 148 to 135. (highest weight was 190)

    I'm roughly 5 foot 8 and a half and my goal is somewhere in the 165-175 lb region. between 75/80 kg.

    In this pic (on the right) i am 85 kg (187 lb) so for me 140 or so would be far too low i think.

    Current goal is 160. That would probably put me into a size 6 so I might up it. I'm at 171 now so we'll see. :)

    5'8 here, and I am 155 now. I started at 185. My first main goal is 145. I was there before and I think being 140-145 is realistic and sustainable for me. Now when I get there, I may decide to go down to 135 But no lower than that.

    My goal is 125, but it’s a soft 125 since when I get to 135 I will reevaluate and decide if I need to continue to lose weight or just tone more.

    suppose it depends how hard you want to try to maintain your weight once you are there. I am 5ft 8 and have been down to 10 st 2, and although I thought I looked great it ruled my life, at 10 st 8 felt happier and could have the odd treat and still maintain, so was much happier. Suppose it also depends on your build.

    My goal is 150. That would put me around 23% BF if I retain most of my muscle mass.

    This might sound really, well, rather mean, but... this thread has really affected me. I mean, I'm 5'8" and 165 pounds and I've always felt so TERRIBLE about myself and my proportions. Reading these posts has really put things into perspective for me, that maybe I shouldn't be so keen on reaching such a low weight at my height. Especially since I'm so well-endowed in the chest area. And have a very curvy shape in general. But still! It almost implies a sort of normalcy, and that's something I've never felt I looked like in my life.

    But, before I get ahead of myself and think that I'm fine, let me just say I'm 21 and probably at the best shape of my life, so 165 is still kinda a downer for me. Still going to aim pretty low, but this does put things into a bit of a newer light.
