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.

    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! :)

    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!

    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!

    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%

    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!!

    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.

    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 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!
