    I honestly think it's all about your body type. I am 5'6 and my goal is 145-155. My high school weight was 145 and I was very thin. I just had a lot of muscles in my legs. I really just go by measurements and body fat percentage.

    I am 5'8" and currently 194. My ticker shows a goal of 180 which I definitely plan to hit but after that I am not sure. Probably somewhere between 160-175.

    5'6", 25 years old, start weight (a little over) 145, goal weight 135

    As I'm approaching 135 though, I think I'm going to lower it to 130…

    My goal is 175. I don't know why, that seems like a good weight right now. That'll be 99 pounds overall. If I get to that point and am happy, I'll stop. But if I feel like I can lose more, I will. I have a very large frame for a woman, there's nothing small, narrow, or dainty about me. So I don't think a low weight will look good on me. I'm not going to torture myself just to fit in a specific size, you know?

    I am 6'0" and aiming for a final goal of 180. I'm take it every 5 pounds at a time as a mini goal. I'm almost at goal #2, 18 more mini goals to go. :)

    I'm 5'8" and at 164 I was fitting into all my clothes and very close to loving all parts of my body. I would love to get to 159 to see what that looks like. But I'm more concentrating on how my clothes fit, than the number on the scale.

    My goal is to get my body fat below obese % numbers :)

    But in regards to weight, I'm 5'6" and my goal is 145. I'd be happy there :)

    I too am 5'4. I weigh 140 and am really happy with the way I look and feel. I want to be 139, it's just my own personal hangup.

    5'5 and currently 213lbs. now.
    Hoping to work towards 150lbs
    I always look smaller than what i really weigh so getting into a size 8 jeans/medium shirt would be nice :)
    ...Another goal, is to get my body fat % from 40.5% to 20%

    I'm 5'6" and my goal right now is to just cross the threshold into a "normal" BMI which is 154. So that's my goal for now.

    100% agree with MsSouthernBell- I am 5'6 almost 5'7 and the 150's look good on me. My body has a lot of musle as per my trainers, so if I got down to 127 I would look sickly, that is actually my body size with just the organs, bones, and skin. I would look like death. I want to be 155 or so with a variance of about 5 lbs.


    CW: 175-178 depends on when I weigh myself
    GW: 155

    Come on 20lbs! :drinker:

    I'm 5'4. Starting weight was ~200 (Stopped getting on the scale somewhere around 195) Original goal weight was 140, and I looked like a flabby mess...UGW was 125, but I looked like a somewhat less flabby mess. Currently at 119-120, and aiming for 115. I think I'd like to be closer to 110, and have my maintenance range be 110-115, but we'll see. I have a very small frame and a high BFP. (At 120, BFP is still 28%).

    I am almost 5'1'' (154cm) and right now I'm 110lbs. I'd like to get to 104lbs but most importantly to drop another 2 or 3% in body fat (currently at 23%).
    Hit a pretty bad plateau after quitting the pill and being in hormone-nightmare for over 6 months, now I'm back to the pill and hoping to go back to "normal"...
