    It all depends on your body frame and how much muscle you have. You would never guess my weight in my profile pic and I am 5'6-5'7" ish. My weight loss goal is 175 maybe 170 but I was told by my trainer to not go too far below that.

    I'm right there with you! My short-term goal is 185 (I've put that on my ticker) but I'd like to maintain between 170-180 long term. I've always weighed more than I looked (and don't really ever remember being "slim" ...like, EVER), so I think I was comfortable around 170ish. Who knows, though. Once I get there, I'm sure I'll want t go further.

    My profile pic is of me at about 210. Today I'm 202.6.

    I think it definitely depends on your frame size. I have the bones of a child and I'm at 112-114, not looking to lose much more. BUT I do still have very soft fat rolls on my belly that I'm trying to get rid of. Hopefully I'll replace fat with muscle and not lose much more weight.

    I'm curious...what's the weight in your profile pic? I ask because people typically don't guess my weight correctly as well.

    I totally forgot to put the picture up but it's in my profile now. At the time, like I said I was 185, and I was 19 and hadn't had any children. I was hippy with nice thighs and a big butt--totally OK with me. At 266, that looks too small and I can't imagine being smaller than that so I'm going to get there and decide. I definitely don't want to be smaller than a 9/10.

    You look awesome here. I know it's supposed to be about the health and not just the weight; so I amend to say, "You look so healthy and fit here."

    Thanks much! I'll see what happens when I get there. I know for sure that I want to be out of my 200's :)

    Hey I'm 5" 6in and I'm aiming for 150 I'm 196 at the moment, I was at my happiest at 150, I am slim but still have some nice (small) curves. When I go below this I start to look drawn and skinny, that's just me but I like a few little curves!

    I'm going for 150 - 140, anything less than that and I look too skinny. That should put me in a size 6 or 8.

    I'm 5'6" and shooting for 150. Six years ago, I was maintaining at 140 and I felt great, but I'm taking into account that I'm older now and don't have as much time to spend working out.

    I was actually looking at some great pictures and scrolled over to this post. I am 5' 5.5" and my ideal weight is back around 135 lbs. I remember being that just a few short years ago and I loved it, clothes were easy to find and always seemed to fit and for me I have a very small frame so that weight just fits for me.

    I'm 5'6 and 177 I really want to be 150 for a short term goal and my long term goal is 130. I tend to carry my weight in my butt and thighs so im doing a LOT of cardio, to slim that area down along with some strength training.

    my goal is 152, right at the top of my healthy BMI. i have a very large frame, so i'm thinking that even at the top of my healthy BMI, i might be too skinny. for now, i'm gonna shoot for 175 and see how i feel at that weight :)

    I'm 5'5", close enough right? My current goal is 160/to be a size 10, but I should probably shoot for 150. I'm curvy, big hips and boobs, so I realized I'm always on the higher side weight wise.

    I'm 5'6" and I'm shooting for 150. I haven't been that small in years -- my son is 4 and my pre-pregancy weight was 161. I went back to that within 2 months of having him, but I have gained a ton since then. I figure if I can manage to get to smaller than I was when I got pregnant with him, then I'll be good.

    I weighed 135 when I got married and was really happy with that, but I don't know if I could ever get that small again. My smallest ever was 125 just after high school and looking at pictures, I was WAY too skinny.

    I am 5'6"

    When I got to the healthy range...I stayed at 145ish.

    Now I am aiming for a 130 to 33 maintenance range but keep fluctuating.

    I'm 5'6", and currently at 125. It fluctuates between 120-125. My low point was 112 (wayyyyy too much personal stuff going on then, and it might have been less, but I hadn't weighed myself in a while... it took a looonnnnggg time to get that weight back).

    Since I started working out early this year, I temporarily dropped to 118, which caused a minor panic, but now I've been holding between 120-125. Think it's around 125 right now, and the gain is all muscle, which is a pleasantly new thing for me. I have problems keeping weight *on*, always have, and am very slim and gangly. The muscle is helping with the stick figure look. LOL!

    I'm 5'6 and my goal weight (for now) is 125. At my last weigh in I was 155 and that is too heavy for my frame, which is I guess medium sized? :)

    At my thinnest I was 118+/- and I was told by a doctor that I needed to gain weight in order to be considered healthy. Thus I'm trying to keep it in the 120 range.
