My goal is 150. I'm about a size 4 at that weight which is plenty small enough for me.

I'm 125 lbs ... and I'm a size 14.

I started at 200, down to 176 in 3 months. I would ideally like to go to 150-140 although my OBGYN says for my height 165 is okay.

Wow. I have never been a size 4. I'm a size 6 at 130 lbs.

My family run really dense. I don't know if we have super heavy bones or just a lot of muscles but we all usually weigh about 20-30lb more than someone would guess.

It could also depend on what brands you are looking at.

Currently 74 , goal is to loose at least 10 kgs or more

fitgirldc · July 2016

I'm 5'5.5" 130lbs. Vanity lbs here and there, but I've never been overweight...goal where I am most comfortable is between 126-128 lbs.

fireytiger · July 2016

I'm 5'7" so not quite 5'6 but only an inch taller.

Starting weight was 239, current weight is 226, and goal weight is 165. I'm stopping at 165 because at that point, I would rather focus on how I feel, how strong I am, and my other measurements instead of a scale number. Muscle is more dense than fat, so I may weigh the same but have more muscle, and i'm fine with that.

I'm about 5'5.5" (166 cm) so I'll count myself in this 5'6" club

When I was 132 (60 kg), my GW was 121 (55 kg). But then I dropped it to 118 when I reached 121. I'm now at 116-118 but mostly stable at 117. I was seriously considering lower that number of GW to 112-114, but now I just want my weight to be stable at around 116-117 and see how my diet and workout goes.
I guess I also need to accept the fact that my GW will never be that low if I want a body with relatively low body fat %, which means higher lean body mass. I do think it's quite reasonable though, especially for a flat-chested person like me

I'm just starting my weightloss journey. Currently 100kgs (220lbs). Would love to get down to 79kgs (174lbs) and from there I'll evaluate how much more I want to lose.

llbrixon · July 2016

5'6" SW 198, CW 160, Goal: 155-160. At 61 years old, I am happy with my weight loss. Being at a lower weight requires lots more exercise and I am not willing to put the extra effort to stay at a lower weight. I am happy now that I am able to eat the foods I love and have some treats once in awhile...and to eat out.

Well, first of all I'm in Australia and an Australian size 14 is the equivalent to a US size 10.

Secondly I have very muscular quads so finding pants to fit is difficult. If they fit my waist, I can't get a leg in. If they fit my legs, I need a belt to cinch up the waist.

And I've got wide hips and shoulders ... the bones are widely place. Even when I'm underweight, my hip bones and shoulders dictate the size of clothing I wear.

5'5.5". SW 169, GW 145. Now 146-148 and I'm happy here

jodieelol · July 2016

I started at 17 stone 3 pounds, I am currently 14 stone 3.5 pounds.
My original goal was to be 12 stone although I think once I reach that goal I'll be making a new one

jeebieheebies · July 2016

I am at 143lbs now. Lowest was 135lbs and was still too flabby in stomach/thighs/calves. So my goal is 120-125lbs. I am very not-muscular and am flat-chested (34A) so I think it will look best, and for being better at running, the lower the better.

Btw, everyone has the same bones. No "heavier bones" or "small bones". Google 'body fat scans' where you can see the skeleton.

tlc010283 · July 2016

My goal is to lose fat mainly but I'm currently 135 and would like to be 125 with less than 20% body fat. I was close to 130 in April when I had a few vacations back to back and fell off my training

mlinci · July 2016

I'm 1.66m tall - that's about 5 foot 5 and a half. Starting weight was 84kg - 185lbs. Current weight is just under 70kg (about 154lbs). Goal weight - maybe 65kg? I started as a large UK size 16, and I'm now a UK size 12, US size 8, with a waist of around 30 inches. My body shape is a bit funny - I am quite stocky, with short legs and a good hourglass figure - big hips and big breasts. I think I'd look even weirder if I went much lower in weight, and the hourglass is kind of the only thing I have going, so why ruin it?
