    I'm 5'9" and my goal is 145. Right now I'm just shooting for 150 with 22% body fat.

    I'm 5' 9" and want to be 150 but not so worried about it. I am lifting heavy and am more impressed with the inches flying off! Loving how muscles look and my new strength. Keep on keeping on! CW is 161 and I am in a size 8 pants, so pretty cool!

    Same for me pretty much. Just over 5'9", CW is 155. Want to be 150 but not really terribly worried about it - also lifting heavy and right now I figure I can lift more than ever before and am wearing smaller clothes. I'd rather focus on lowering my body fat % a couple points.

    As several people have already mentioned, your specific body type will make a huge difference in what's best and healthy for you. I thought I'd want to shoot for the lower end of the healthy range, but when I was at 150 a couple of years ago, my body was really happy and I was solidly in a size 10. I am currently 189 and have a goal of 150. Once I get there, I can reevaluate and see how my body is responding.

    Good luck!

    AT 5'7", I am currently 155, which is a healthy weight for me. But I'd like to get to 145 so I can wear the clothes in my closet!

    I'm 5'8' (34 years old) and my first goal is around 155. Once I get there I will have to reevaluate and see how I look/feel. I've never been that "small" before so I can't really predict how I will wear my weight :)

    I was thinking along the same lines, 147. What was your starting weight and where are you now? I've just joined today weighing 217 so I have a hell of a lot to lose and want to lose it as quick as possible - so sick of being fat!

    Well done for the weight loss! How long did it take you and what did you do? I'm just starting and need to lose about 60-70lbs. A lot I know but it's got to come off!

    I have the exact same stats. Would love to be 140 but would be happy with 145. I need to stop snacking constantly after I get home from work. Good luck to you, twin!

    I am 5'9" and would like to be at 180. I was actually down to 170 and the Dr. told me not to lose anymore I was too thin. I have been heavy my entire life so when I did get that low I had alot of extra skin, so who know really how much the extra skin weighed? I would be happy in a size 12 and look good in them..

    I'm 4'11.5" yes, I still count that half inch just because I'm petite. I weight 115 and my ideal weight would be 105. I fluctuate between 110-120 and since I'm directly in the middle and I've been able to control that for a few months. So I think if I can push for 105 and get their before the middle of February which I think is a good goal.

    I am close to 5'8 (really depends I've been told I am 5'6 :noway: and told I was 5'9 again :noway: so I figure I am 5'7 1/2 to 5'8 if I am standing up straight) My goal weight is 135-140

    I'm 5'10 and I'm longing for the scale to read 135. I have no real shape, and every extra pound ends up on my stomach and chin. :o) I just want to wear pants without a muffin top... :o)

    Was 130, then i decided to up it to 140, now that I'm 140 i'm thinking 135 so I have a little room for fluctuation.
