    I am 5'9" and my body loved 150 (before children) now it seems to love 160, but I am not there yet. I would love to be at 145. I look and feel great at 145.

    My body's favourite weight is 140lbs or 10 stone. It takes EFFORT to get below. But once I'm there it takes a pregnancy to get me above it, so I suppose that's a good thing too.

    MY ideal weight on the other hand is 126lbs, or 9 stone. Any thinnner and I lose my boobs.

    I'm 5'4.

    I'm currenty 150lbs, so I'm guessing the next 10lbs will be tough, but do-able. After that, the next stone is going to be HARD!!

    I'm 5ft 4.5in, i am currently 151.6....my body is happiest at 137. I've been to 127 (before I let myself go) and that was actually too small for my hips. I feel like I look my best around 135.
    In my profile pic i was 2 months pregnant and 130ish.

    I am similar. 5'4" and my body is happiest at 138 or so. I was at 128 years ago and looking back at photos, I look a bit too skinny for my taste. My goal is 140. I have 38 pounds to go!

    I think my body liked 170 - I stayed there for 2 years until I broke my ankle... I will be happy when I get " back " to that.

    I'm 5'2 and I was between 110-115 for a long time not tracking or exercising etc. These days my body is happy at 131lbs. Ideally I'd like to stay between 115 And 120, at that weight my muffin top and extra face weight is gone but I still get to keep my bum and boobs so it's perfect!

    It used to be around 145. But recently I dropped some weight (well, like a year ago), gained a little back, and now it seems that my body loves 130.

    I'm 5'7, and my body loves 147 lbs. For the last 3 years, I gained weight during the winter and lost weight during the summer, and my annual doctor's appointment showed me I stayed at that same weight. Ever since I joined MFP at a weight of 152 I've been aiming for 130 :)

    Thanks for all your replies it appears that those ~10 extra lbs (body's favorite weight vs. your goal weight) are very difficult to come by especially after having kids. It's interesting to see how to attain or plan to get to it if you continue to push through to your goal. I hope everyone is able to get to their goal in a healthy manner and maintain. That's what I hope for as well!

    I'm 5'2" and should weigh 130 (top of the range) but my body loves 155- always has since I was a teenager. If I manage to get under that, I don't stay under for very long.

    5'5 and 148 is where i sit with normal eating and normal activity (no gym, no diets, no nothing) even when i do watch what i eat and work out my weight usually sticks around 145 and i just lose inches.

    late night binge eating got me to 155, but im working on breaking that habit now!
