    My goal weight is 12 stone as that would be a massive reduction (nearly 7 stone). However my ideal is 10 and a half stone. I've not been below that since being an adult despite some pretty drastic dieting as a teenager.

    I'm about 5'8" and currently 191.5, down from 203.4 four months ago. My goal is to get to 160. Although back in the day before kids(14 yrs ago) I was always about 150 to 155. People say i carry my weight "well" whatever that means when I'm nearly 200 lbs but I guess its because I'm more of a medium build.

    I am 5'8" and have never had an acceptable weight so I do not have anything to really base my ultimate goal weight on. I basically just took the range that is acceptable for me and went for the middle, so my goal weight is 140. As I get closer to that value, I will see how I look and go from that.

    I'm 5'8 1/2 and weight in at 166.6 lol
    I would feel fantastic at 160, but my ultimate goal would be 150-155lbs. But that seems a little far fetched and I might loose my curves...so maybe 155 is more ideal. I love my booty :wink:

    I am older than you but I am 5' 7 1/2" and I have weighed as little as 117 at age 20 (too skinny) and as much as 204 at age 50 (too fat). I feel around 145-150 is slim enough for me. Right now I am at 156 and it feels great but I plan on getting down to 150 and checking that out. On me it is a size 10 and my doctor says with my frame I should be around size 10 no smaller than an 8.

    My ideal weight is 155-159. I got to my goal weight of 164, but I still have some more fat to lose - especially under my arms and in my middle. Currently balancing calorie intake with cardio and strength training to reduce my body fat.

    I'm 5'8 and currently weigh about 134 pounds, I'm aiming for 124, although for me it's just more about how I look and feel, then the actual number on the scale.

    I'm 5'8" currently at 168lbs but hoping to get to around 158-160lbs. Any lower than that I don't think would suit my body shape!

    I'm 5'9"...figure I'm close enough to 5'8" to reply =P. My ultimate goal is to get back down to 140ish. The calculator you posted put my medically ideal weight at 129-169. I was happiest with my weight/appearance at 140. 130 was just too skinny for me and 150 scared me, lol. Body type has a lot to do with the numbers on the scale, too.

    I am 5'8 and have been around 185 for the past little while (tried and failed "dieting" over and over)... I have five kids though so my body has taken a beating. My lowest was 142 and I looked VERY skinny and unhealthy. My Healthy looking weight is around 155lbs. That is my goal. ;) just joined this site.. and loving it so far.. very easy to use.
