    I don't know, i've never been happy with my weight, wasn't exactly fat as a teenager but still quite chubby.

    I've done everything I can to get as much water off as possible but weight won't go lower than 147lbs... so how do I know if thats the weight my body wants to stop at? ... if its decided its comfy there how do I get past it cos I want to lose another 18lb and 2lb of them before xmas day?

    so what happens if your body's ideal weight is not the one you want to be?

    LOL OP, You are exactly my ideal weight. :D I am same height, you are at my goal weight. My ultimate possible goal weight (being my muscular self would be pretty incredible) is the same as yours. 150! Crazy I think :D You look amazing.

    I'm 5' with a small frame. I'm 117 and my goal is 105 right now. I'm happy with a higher weight if I'm heavier from muscle and leaner. I was about 95 when I graduated from HS with minimal muscle (no athletics for me then) and no hips. Lol, I remember wanting hips. Sigh. So, I believe 105 may be a reasonable goal.

    I am 5'3" and my ideael weight is 125. 9lb to go! I could go for 120 but think that may be too much.
  • Hi, I am 5ft4" (163cm) and my starting weight was 95kg (209.43pounds)... My current weight is 89.9kg (198.19pounds) but my goal weight is 65kg (143.30pounds). Once I get there (or close to) I will reconsider what my goal weight is Maybe even be a bit heavier due to muscle!!! =D I can't wait =D

    5'4 with a 120-125 goal weight. Its right in the middle of the healthy range. I reached my first goal of 135 and I feel like I still have some work. My belly is still here so I'm focusing on strength training to build muscle definition and burn this fat. My bmi is still about 20% and id like to be closer to 15%

    My ideal weight is 136lbs, I'm 5'7" and a half, small frame, always look like I weight less than I actually do...

    I want to look curvy ala Kim Kardashian but a bit smaller in the hips and booty area (I don't have what she has there...wish I did)...its very realistic for my body. I'm already at a healthy weight and bmi so I 136 would put me where ever it put me.
  • I'm 5'4 and my start weight was 243. I'm currently at 221. My goal is to get down to a regular 16...So I believe i would have to weight between 165-170 but I want to keep my curves....especially my butt that I just got by numerous Squad and hours on the elliptical...;)
  • height 5'8" I would love to be 160

    I'm 5'10 and currently weight 196. At my heaviest (after having my children) I was 224ish. I started MFP at 219. I would love to be at 180. I felt healthy and good about my body then. I think that 170, maybe 165 would be perfect for me, but I haven't been that thin since 1997 - in college. Now that I have had children, my body has changed a lot and though I will never be super thin (I was 145 when I graduated high school) I think that I could learn to love my body at 180 and feel good about myself.
  • Im 5'7 i started this site weighing 183, now weight 176.5, my ideal weight would be 160, 155.

    I'm 4'11, ideal weight is between 100-103 lbs and lose the belly hehehe i am almost there!
  • Right now, my ideal weight is 160, but I have a feeling that wont be the end of it. Every time I say any number smaller than that, people remind me how sickly I'd probably look. I'm 5'6. I may gun for 140 even.. I just don't want to look like a blowpop sucker.(fat head on a slim body).
  • Hey I'm 5ft 6" and weigh 144lbs. My goal weight is 119lbs but I would be happy between 119lbs and 126lbs. Just want to keep my weight between those and I think that is realistic for my height and activity level x

    My goal is very similar to this. I'm 5'6, started at 154lbs and want to get down to between 120lbs and 126lbs, so i think 123lbs is a happy medium i am for.
    Saying this though, i'd rather lose more inches instead and weigh around 130 mark if my body fat was nearer the 20% mark.

    We can do it :D
  • I'm pretty much 6'. I'd like to be 130, but that is unrealistic.

    I'll settle for 140. I still have curves and a nice round butt.
  • I'm 5'10 almost 5'11

    I'm hoping for the 150-145 range. We'll see when I get there.
  • i'm 5'6 and i'd like to be 125ish!
  • 5'1" :)
    My ideal weight range is anywhere from 95-110 lbs
    I'm currently 109.6lbs & trying to get to 102 though! After I reach that, I'll decide whether or not to go lower.

    Honestly I'm not worried about my curves because my butt has gotten bigger since I started losing weight/getting in shape & my boobs haven't changed at all really!
