    I am 5'6 and have lost 50...want to lose 20 or so more.

    Here is a question for you gals, based on our height, what is your ideal goal weight?
    Mine is 125. That's how much I weighed in high school but back then I was "skinny fat" so this time I want to be more toned. It's just a bench mark though, really I just want to get back into a (US) size 2. It's only been a couple years so I think it's a pretty reasonable goal for me. Though my current goal is 135 because it's reasonable for the amount of time that I have until my birthday and that's when my first goal date is.

    I'm 5"6. Currently weigh 192 (was 197 so lost 5 lb - a start!) I'm aiming for 150 lb. Would be fabulous to make that by next August, but at my current slow rate, that is unlikely. Please do add me - perhaps it will help us both!

    I'm 5' 6.5" (I list 5' 7") and I want to lose 50--is that close enough? I'm at 190.5 right now (having lost about 12 pounds in the last 6 weeks).

    188ish, 5'6'' and wanting to get down to 145lbs. I have 43 lbs to loose. Trying to loose it by June.

    Weve got exactly the same goal and starting weight! Except ive got 2 more months to lose it! we can have a competition to see who loses what each week!

    A little competition is good - add me if you like.

    We should make a group for all people who want to lose this much and we could post weighins and tips etc each week,

    Ive not made a group on mfp yet, does anyone know how to make one?

    I'm 32 yo, 5'5 3/4 and have about 22 or so more pounds to lose to hit my initial goal weight. I'm really more interested in hitting a goal feeling than a weight though. Strength training may increase or decrease my goal weight depending upon how it goes. We'll see.

    The group creator says that we need three people to start, and a name as well.
