Hey, I was 160 and I really wanted to be 140. Then I got there was not happy. Now I'm at 130 pounds and I feel like I need to lose 10 more pounds. The ideal weight for ladies our height is 130 but I know it all depends on your build and where you carry your weight. I have some fat on my hips, so I want to lose more. Then, I plan to gain muscle weight. What about you?

    I don't have a goal weight. When I started I thought I should be 135 at 5'3, now I am about 150 and pretty happy with my body. If I could get my body fat% down a bit more, that'd be great, but I don't want to lose any muscle while doing so.

    I'm 5'4". The lowest I've weighed as an adult was between 130-140. It bounced around a lot in that range while I was maintaining so I was never just 130 or 135. I think about 135 is my ultimate goal, but I also think I could be very happy and feel good at 145. We'll see when I get there.

    My goal is 130, but once I am 130 I will see how I feel. I feel that I am pretty close to being happy with my weight and I am 141. I have a bit of fat left on my belly and inner thighs that I want to lose, so chances are I will be happy at 130.

    I'm 5'5 and 130 right now, still not happy. It really depends on your body composition. I would look a lot better at this weight if I had more muscle. So my main goal right now is lowering bf% and not worrying so much about the number on the scale.

    My goal when I joined was to get to 125. I've been stalled in the mid 140's since July, mostly my own doing. I don't think I'll ever get to 125 but I know I have more weight to lose. I think I'd rather concentrate on building muscle and reducing my body fat. I've being doing Chalean Extreme for 3 months and not lost much weight but definitely built muscle and lost fat.

    My goal is to get somewhere around 160 and go from there. Before gaining all the weight I was 145lb size 6. Always built with more muscle than those I was around. I know I will be different now so I have no idea what weight I want to be in. I will be thrilled if I can just get to a size 10.

    At the moment I am aiming for 135. From there I will see if I want to take it down to 130. I don't want to be too skinny.

    My goal is 170, so I can be under the BMI's obese category

    I'm 5'3 1/2 so I'm close enough ahah

    My goal was 140, then I dropped it to 135.
    I am now at 158 (yahoo!!), and I don't know if I'll get to 135. I may stick with 140.

    My opinion would be to ditch the scale goal and go with a mirror goal. If you feel like you need to get a little smaller, pick up some weights and go! You'll be stronger AND smaller by losing body fat.

    (and honestly, I think it's hard for many women to truly be satisfied with their bodies, regardless of weight goals. We're naturally hard on ourselves)

    I started at 190, I'm at 169.6 currently with a goal weight of 140, which should put me somewhere near an ideal body fat range. The weight will be a bonus but the body fat percentage is really what I'm going for. I've lost 12 lbs of fat and gained 5 pounds of muscle over the past few months, its slow going but worth it!

    In to read others' comments...

    My goal years and years ago was 140 - only because that was considered "normal" per BMI for my height (5'3"-5'4" range). I got down to 163 in the spring and actually started wondering if I was done (my lowest adult weight ever - but anything since 220 has been my lowest lol) - ideally I'd like to drop more bodyfat than that (keeping my current muscle, of course). I've since put on a few lbs, so my short-term goal is to get back to where I had been.

    I'm 5'4" and my goal weight was 145lbs. However, I'm finding that I'm not "done" , so I've adjusted it down to 140lbs.

    150 was always my magic number, but now that I'm close to it I think I still have another 15-20 to go. Weights I never even dreamed of :)

    I started at 225lbs.. my goal is between 150-160lbs. I have a larger frame, though. Ultimately, I'm looking to feel better, be stronger, and get my figure back, haha. ;)
