Now that I am in the healthy range I am starting to think about what my final destination will be for weight loss and when to start maintenance. I am about 154lbs now and feeling like I would love to see 140 but it may be a stretch. For those of you in maintenance where did you stop and for those still working, what are your thoughts?

    My dream weight is 150 pounds but I'd be happy with 170...who am I kidding I'd be happy with 190 right about now.

    I'm currently at 161 and dream of 154! My ultimate goal, though, is 147. I might shoot for a little lower after that depending on my body fat %, but probably not lower than 140.

    I started out at 190, I'm at 168 right now, and I'm shooting for 150. I'll reevaluate at that point if/when I get there, and maybe shoot for 140.

    Honestly - 180. I don't want to be tiny... and that 100 lbs is enough of a health incentive for me.

    150 - that's where I was all throughout high school ... and I was thin. My hope is to get down to 180 and then I'll work my way down from there, but I won't obsess over it

    I am 5'8 1/2", my goal is 145. I am 44 years old. Right now I can fit into a size 8 or 10 jeans depending on the brand.

    When I signed up I put 160 but but I'm still a long ways from that so I'll see when I get closer. 155 might achievable for my frame/build.

    I'm 5'7" 3/4... does that count? Hahaha!
    My goal is 128, mostly because I am a skittle shape (think bowling pin) and I carry my weight in my thighs.. so I'd love to be smaller there and I'm almost an XS on top but still a 27 waist and size 4/5 pants! It's almost weird to look at!

    My original goal was 155, but now that Im at 158, Im thinking I can/should get down to 150. The smallest Ive been in my adult life has been 150, and I really hope I can get there again!

    I would think depending on your body type 145ish would be good. thats what I used to be and what I'm aiming for now!

    When I started at 194 early this year, I wanted to lose 40 pounds. When I got to 154, I was THRILLED. And while I'd be happy to stay at 154, I feel like maybe I can get to 140. Or maybe even 135. So for me, 140 is my new goal, but I won't consider my weight loss journey a failure if I can't get there.

    The best I EVER looked as an adult, I was 130. I've had four kids since then, though, so I'm not sure that's possible.

    I'm 5'9", and I'm shooting for 135, the weight I was when I was a track runner in high school. I have a petite frame, and I'm lanky so being thin does work for me.

    Right now, I'm at 188, but started at 210.

    I'm 5'7" and my goal is 145.

    I take every day as it comes though, and every time I see a lower number it's a mini-victory.

    I'm almost 5'8 and my goal is 175-164lbs, nothing smaller 164lbs would have me in a normal BMI range. In high school i had a 28inch waist with 34DD bra size, Too thin would just bring more attention to my chest.

    I'm 5'8 and-a-half and at the moment, my goal is 199. I haven't been under 200 in many moons. LOL. Ideally, though, I'd like to weigh 160 or so.

    I'm in the 5'7 and 3/4"-but-I-say-I'm-5'8" group. I'm aiming for 140, which is what I was a couple of years ago. I definitely will always have my booty though! So I think it really depends on your body type.
