What's your ideal weight?

RoyalLadySanders

I guess I'm just being a little nosy or let's just say I'm interested to know....What's your ideal weight? Please add the height along with it. Do you want to keep some curves? Are you not really concerned about the curves and just want to feel and look good? Do you just want to be skinny?

If you're not afraid.....please post!!

As for me, I am currently 5 ft 6 in and weigh roughly 165 lbs. I started at 172-173 and my ideal weight is 150-155....but I don't want to lose curves so I'll see as I progress if that changes.

My ideal weight is 150, im curvy to and i dont wanna lose my curves so i think that is a good weight.

I'm 5' 1" and my long-term goal is 120. 9 more pounds to go!

I should add that I started getting healthy almost exactly a year ago, at 193. Yuck.

I'm 5'6. My goal weight is 145. That would leave me with some curves.

Anything less has previously left me with a boyish shape. Not cool. Not cool at all.

Like you, I want to maintain a curvy frame. I'm 5'3" started at 215ish (eek!), but my goal weight is about 165. So far I'm having terrible luck losing, but hopefully that will change. Congrats on how far you've gotten!

If I could have it my way 115lbs . Would make me very happy. I use to be 105lbs and had two babies now I am 151lbs. But realisticly. 130lbs !

TheKitsune6

I'm 5'6" and would like to be around 130-140. Definitely want to keep my curves, I think soft women are sexy!

I would like to add that this is all speculation since even at my "fittest" I was 160. Fortunately I have been blessed with a small waist and feminine hips so I can be smaller and still be curvy

140

I gained 200lbs in the last 5 years but I was otherwise 140 the last time I felt fit!

cassieday

I am 5'2" and my ideal weight is 115. Right now i am at 121 and am pretty happy with it but at 115, i am rid of most of the rest of my jiggle. Any less than that though and i start getting into too-skinny danger zone

I am 5'9" and my ideal weight is 145-150. That would put me right in the middle of "healthy" on the BMI scale. I haven't been that weight since college! I have 20 lbs of baby weight left to go!

Natalie49

120 lbs! CANT WAIT.
Of course i want some curves. I want to feel confident, skinny and strong.
It's all I want at the moment.

UponThisRock

195-200, I think

Ashalena

I think you've got a great bod.


I'm 5'5'' currently 177lbs (down from 200lbs)
wow, this is actually the first time I've ever told anybody my weight.

Ideally I'd like to be 140. I do want some curves (hoping the form soon!!) so my ideal weight may change, once i see more transformations happening.

I don't have an ideal weight, but my ideal body fat is 6%, but would be happy with 8%

tannerjared

I am 6 feet tall. i started at 253 earlier this year before MFP. I am currently around 215 (haven't weighed in yet this week). My ideal weight is 175 but would be happy with anything as long as i am comfortable with how i look. I believe the way i feel about myself is so much more valuable than any number a scale can give me!!

AwesomelyAmber

I think I answered this on another forum :laugh:
I'm 5'3" and would like to be 160ish, I used to say 175 and a size 14 but now that I am there, I want just a little more...

CoryIda

I'm 5'10" with a large bone structure and a good amount of lean body mass (current body fat is 23%). My goal weight was 180, my ideal weight is probably right where I am, which fluctuates between 168-170. I would be healthy and happy a few pounds lighter or heavier. As long as I'm healthy, that's where I want to be.

honeysprinkles

I'm 5'6", somewhere around125lbs is my goal. But mostly I want to be toned. I used to weigh that a few years ago but I was "skinny fat" like they say, so I want to be that size again but more muscle and less fat, which might mean that I'll weigh a few pounds more but I don't care about that. I have a pear shape so even when I'm thinner, I still have some curve to me.

I'm 5'7" and want to be around 160. I love my curves and definitely want to keep them!

I'm not concerned over ideal WEIGHT so much as I am over clothing size or measurements. My priority right now is to be fit. I have fat to lose (I'm 5'9" and about 165lbs... and believe me, most of it ain't muscle), but I want to build some muscle and become stronger during the process of losing the weight. I'm at a size 10/12 (American) right now and would like to get down to an 8 again (or even a *gasp* 6!) One of my big goals is to have some space between my thighs because for as long as I can remember, they've been touching (even when I ran cross country and did track and field in high school). It's not all about the scale! Take measurements too!

AmyLRed

I am 5'1". My goal right now is 130, but i am guessing that ideally, for me to be fit, toned, and strong, it would be 120-130. Hard to say, i havent seen below 130 since high school, and even then, I wasnt a strong and fit as i hope to eventually be!!

Ephena

I am 5'4" and I started at 214lbs. I am currently 147.6lbs and my goal is 134lbs. Once I'm there I want to stay there for a while and see how I like it or see if I want to go down a little bit more. I don't want to loose too much curve but since my stomach and love handles are the last to lose inches and I'm most unhappy with them right now I figured to play it by ear.

jujuevins

I'm 5'6". I started at 154lbs and my first goal was 144lbs--which is where I'm at right now. But I feel like 2lb more will be the ideal weight for me. I feel so much better--it's easier to exercise, my clothes fit better than they have in years. So grateful to have such a great tool like MFP.

ninakir88

I'm 5'4 and I am actually at my goal weight! It was around 120-125, I am 121 right now. I don't want to get any smaller really. I started about 25 pounds heavier this time, but before that I was at 160.

csingleton92

im 5'5/5'6 I started at 191 and my goal weight is around 130. It might seem unrealistic but i would love to be skinny again! I am curvy and have never been a fan of it! i wouldnt mind to lose my curves!

cameralinds

I'm between 5' and 5'1", my goal would be to be around 118-120. I'm currently at 134 right now.

Anyone with similar goals feel free to send a request.

LeanMeanFitnessMachine

125lbs! But if I end up being 130 & ripped, I'll be okay with that too. My main goal is to gain alot of muscle & get down to about 10-15% body fat. The scale isn't as important to me.

Hayesgang

5'8' (female) 42 yrs old.

Started about 180 lbs - I originally thought it would be 135 but I just hit 140lbs and I'm done. I look great at this weigh - I'm lean and my muscles are defined.

thelovelyLIZ

Based on my frame size and height my ideal weight is between 114-127. I think I'm 126 right now (though I may be as high as 132, depending on the accuracy of scales). I for sure want to get to 120, and I'll go for 115 if I still feel I want to lose a little more. I'm also have about 25% body fat right now, and I'd like to get that down to 20%, maybe 18%. I'm trying to get the weight off before I work on toning too much though.

cpow81

I am 5'4" and my ideal weight is between 140-145. I am there (towards the high end though) and very happy with the way I look. Still have some curves but less "jiggle"!
