    I think realistically you need to be at the weight that you are most comfortable with. Hard to relate to those people who are a size 8 and want to be a 2???? Seriously it is all relative.

    Just be happy and eat healthy.

    I am 166cm and 62kg, quite comfy at this weight/size and find it easy to maintain at this level. I have pretty much stopped weighing myself regularly and judge myself by what I look like. I'm continuing to lift weights to improve my physique.

    Translated into imperial: 5'5" and 136lb

    Maintaining now at my ultimate goal weight of 130, +/- 2 or so. But I may let it go up a bit if I succeed in gaining some muscle mass.

    5'4" here~
    Goal was 130, got to 135 and changed my goal to 120!

    I always thought I was "large framed" and wouldn't look good being thin. Turns out I was just fat! There was a tiny person inside of all that mess the whole time! hahaha

    145-150. It's the least I have ever weighed as an adult and I had 6 pack abs at that weight. I tend to have a lot of muscle and when I have had body fat % testing done (hydrostatic, not just with calipers) it looked like that range would be what I could realistically get to without losing too much muscle.

    I'm at 219 right now. I think my first goal is to get to 149 to be at a "normal" BMI. Then, I think I'll shoot for 135. I was very very briefly at 128 and got so many negative comments about looking sickly. It really confused the heck out of me because I still wore a freaking size 12. Sorry to get off on that tangent!

    I have so very far to go that I picked a goal weight randomly. I figured that it really depends on what things look like when I get within 10 pounds give or take. Ideally my goal is more of a size than a number. Haven't worn a single digit size since 6th grade!

    HAHAHA I know the feeling. My mum got remarried when I was 9. I wore a size 10 then. LOL

    My goal is just to feel good. I have set myself many "GW" - Simply as mile markers.

    I am large build so I am going to aim for 140. Perhaps 130. As long as I still have my curves (not waves and squishy). I will be a happy girl.

    I'm currently set for 140, knowing that as I go into maintenance I'll probably put back on 5 or so (glycogen/water and such) - I'd be perfectly happy at 145-150. I know that's a little high for some people, but I like how I look at that weight (heck, I liked how I looked at 160 before I had kids), so as long as I'm healthy (which I should be) then that's good enough for me. However, if I get there and decide I want to go for a little more...no biggie, I just keep going. I figure as I get down towards 150 or so I'll see how I look/feel and go from there.

    The nice thing about weight loss is that you don't need to decide on a goal weight and stick to it. Go by the mirror and how your clothes fit and your fitness level - the scale is just one tool to measure progress and shouldn't be the sole basis for your ultimate goal.

    Anything less than 140 I think is too little. But I am built like an amazon woman.

    I am 5'5" and the last time I weighed myself I was 131. My best advice is get rid of your scale! I obsessed over number for the longest time and would feel defeated when I didn't get to this ideal number I had in my head. Once I quit relying on the scale to tell me how I felt I have much more body confidence. I workout every day, I lift heavy and I eat! As long as you feel great, you don't need a number to tell you your worth! :)

    between 178-153. i have no idea just yet because ive never even been close to that weight. i have no idea what will be best for my body. but i will find out.

    I went from 272 to 135 via gastric bypass about a dozen years ago, and when I started the upward trend that they fully expect will happen, I found that my body seemed strongest and happiest at 160-170. So, there's where my goal is set. To be that weight, but to have a strong and resilient body is the best combo I could think of. I plan to live in this body for a (hopefully) long time, and I want to make sure that I can enjoy it!

    I'm 5'5 and currently weigh 124 ( you can look at my pics).. I'm not necessarily trying to lose weight but really looking to tone up a little more in my thigh and love handle area... Wouldn't mind weighing 120 but I've had a difficult time getting weight off when i'm lifting weights etc. so now my goal is to tone:).. Hope this helps!!
