I'm 5'6" and 135lbs right now, but I'm thinking about dropping my goal weight to 120-125lbs.
What's your goal weight? what feels best?

    Right now, my goal weight is 135. That's subject to change though, depending on how I feel/how I look when I get closer to it. I have a larger frame so it might look sickly and I might stick to 145 but I've never been below 155 so I don't know yet! Haha

    Right now, I'm 139 (without fluctuations). I have my tracker set to 130, but really, I'll see how I feel about myself when I get there.

    120-125 was always good for me... But, that was before I had a kid. So, I don't know if I'll be able to get back there without looking... Off.

    My goal was originally 115, but I'm at 118-120 and fine with that. I'm not really trying to lose anymore, but may go for the extra 3lbs come bikini season.

    I started at 135 and set a goal for 125, but then my body slowly kept losing until I leveled out around 119-121. I have a small frame and feel like this is good for me. I do feel a bit "squishy" though so I want to focus more on strength training.

    I started at 231. My goal is 154. I would love 140 but I'm just trying to keep myself in reality.

    Already hit it - 148lb...and it's only that low to stay in a weight class...otherwise, low 150's (at the same BF% as I currently am at 148lb).

    You all look brilliant!! It's kind of amazing how we can be the same height, and all carry weight so differently.

    I'm 5'5.5", and my goal weight is 152 lbs. I started at 237 lbs. I am currently at 179 lbs. A doctor at a weight loss clinic told me my goal weight should be in the 150 lbs range. I recently purchased a scale that measures body fat, too. My current BF % is about 41; I hope to get it down to 33% or less. Had the doctor not told me otherwise, I'd have probably set my goal at around 130 lbs.

    130-135 is my goal weight. Now that I have a lot more muscle than I used to, I seem to be heavier. There's a site, incidentally, where you can see what different people look like at the same weight and height as you. It's mybodygallery.com. I think there's another one, too. Good luck and go for whatever size feels healthy and happy to you! :drinker:

    I am 5,6 and right now my goal is 160 but I will adjust when i reach it. The thinnest I have been in my adult life is 148 and I would love to be there again but it was hard to maintain. With he help of Mfp I am hoping maintenance will be easier. Long way to go still!!

    I started in the 170s. I'm in the 150 to 155 range now. I seem to be gaining muscle and not losing a lot of weight right now. My original goal was around 140. I'm not sure if I need to go that low now. It just depends how my *kitten* shapes up and if my belly gets a little flatter. I carry weight low on my body (pear) and I don't want to get skinny at all. I think 130s is too low for me.

    It's looking like it will be about 147-148 or so. I'm large framed and like muscle, so I'm not tiny but solid at that weight :)

    Before having my two children 118lbs was a comfortable weight for me. I'm 5'6 in height.

    I have a few pounds to go but feel happy with my appearance so may never shed those last few pounds..

    I don't have a goal weight, just a bf% goal, which is the low 20's. If I continue to lift and can hold onto (or gain, pretty please?!) my LBM, then I can hopefully have that at a weight in the 140's. My size range I'm shooting for is 4-6. So, as heavy as I can be at a bf% in the low 20's. I'm 5'3, so a bit shorter than you guys :flowerforyou:

    I feel better when I weigh 125-130. Anything less than that for me is too thin. Having hard time around holiday!

    My goal weight is 170. I wanna lose as much body fat as I can and pack on some muscle.
    I wanna sprint hard, and lift harder. I wanna have muscles that show and actually enjoy taking my shirt off.

    ....Sadly I'm INCREDIBLY far from that body. Sometimes I wonder if I'll even see it in the mirror someday. I worry often that age will catch up to me. Or that I'll spend the rest of my years never once feeling attractive, desirable and worthwhile.

    Guess I should get in my pills car and take a drive on Welbutrin street. :laugh: :laugh: :cry:
