    My SW weight was 231
    my CW is 206
    my GW is 145

    I remember being that weight, at the time I felt big but when I look back at those pictures I looked good

    Since I'm almost 50, when I get closer to that weight I'll reevaluate that GW though

    I'm 5"5" and 42 years old

    SW 163 (74Kg)
    CW 141 (64Kg)
    GW 132 (60Kg)

    I'm aiming to fit into UK size 10 and get body fat down to maybe 23%.

    Not worrying too much about the scale at the moment.

    I am 5'5" and my sw was 154 - my cw is 141...

    Years ago, I was at 125 after a battle with weight loss - and I look back at pictures and as much as I'd like to look like that again.. it's unrealistic and I didn't really LIVE life (i was a little toooooo skinny some say)... I was too concerned with what I was eating and etc... the gym was my social life...

    I'd like to be ideally 130 - but I would be ECSTATIC to be 135 by my birthday on May 25th!

    I'm inbetween 5'4"-5'5" and my goal is 140lbs.
    I got my BF% calculated at the gym which led me to figure out my lean body mass, 117lbs. I multiplied that by 20% which is the recommended BF% for women (the trainer suggested) and came to right around 140.
    I would suggest getting your BF% calculated to find what is healthiest for you. :)

    I'm 5'4 and my current weight is 131lbs... my ultimate goal weight is 119 - 116. Is that too extreme?! After reading most of these posts I feel like it is :/

    It sounds aa bit skinny to me. Try seeing how you feel when you get to say .. 125?

    Hi All- I'm 5'5 and I'm 46 years old. When I was in my 20's and 30's I was 120-125. After 38 it has been a struggle and I jumped up to 140-145. I have lost a few time back down to about 135. So setting my goal at 130 seem reasonable. I just hit that and now I've readjusted to 125 like when I was younger. Why not. I think goal weight is individual based on many factors, starting weight, average lifetime weight,body frame and bone structure. If you have a lot of weight to lose, I think it is important to set smaller goals to see success and reset them at each increment.

    I so agree with the above poster that goal weight is based on many factors - especially body frame and bone structure. I will be 50 this year and my goal weight is 130, although I was 120-125 earlier in life. As I have gotten older, it was so easy to jump up towards and a little above 150, but I was eating anything and everything, especially late evening. I say use common sense and set your goal to whatever makes you feel good.

    I'm 5'5", 34 years old, CW is 120lbs, current BF is 20% and I wear a size 2 or 4 depending on brand. I still would like to lose 2lbs more with an UGW of 118, mainly so when I fluctuate my "highs" will be around 120. I'm a distance runner so lighter/leaner is good for me. I'm currently eating 2500+ calories a day at maintenance until after my marathon in June.

    I have just started my journey after several years of "not being ready" I am finally ready to kick it into gear! I'm 5'5 and not gonna go with my current number but I am doing Herbalife! The body analyzer said at my height and body build (which I have small but heavy bones) I should be skin and bones at 140. I'd like to be around 150-160 that would be fantastic!!!!!

    I don't think so....depending on your body type. I always thought that 125 was my goal weight until I got there and just didn't feel "done." Now at 120 I'm very happy with the way my body looks/clothes fit, etc. I think you just have to keep it flexible and be willing to re-evaluate as you get closer to your goal. At our height and a smaller weight, even a few pounds make a huge difference, so the change of 4-5lbs can be huge.

    I'm 5'6 and at the heaviest was 165.

    Right now I am somewhere between 136-138. That's my fluctuation radius.

    My goal is to be 128. I'm 25 and I have never been more than 122 until I came to USA and the boom.

    I did get evaluated by the doctor and with all the measurement she said I have large bone frame hence I have heavy bones. I never will be size 2 but would be happy to be solid 4 :). Right now I am 6.

    I'm 5'5 and 26 years old. My goal is 130-135. I don't know that I want to lose more than that, but we'll see how I feel when I get there. :) I'm currently 150 but was in the 180s when I started losing.

    5`5 here. My goalweight is 148 pounds. I am 44 years old.
    I started 2008 with 235.4 pounds. Now I am 196.9. I had a bit less 2011, gained a bit again, I just keep on and will succeed in the end.

    140!

    I've got quite the chest, so if I went smaller than that, I'd be wayy too skinny!
