    My current goal is 145, and I'm losing weight quite reasonably - and not feeling too deprived - so I may revise that and shoot for 140. When I was in my late teens, I bottomed out at 107 pounds (after surgery on my throat and couldn't eat for a month) and I looked just awful. It took a lot of eating to gain up to 120 pounds where I looked healthier.

    But in my mid-forties, I think 140 is probably more realistic than 120.... :ohwell:

    I'm 5'6, my goal weight is 145. I'm at 147 and some people are commenting that i've lost too much - I don't agree with them - I feel good and the clothes are fitting nicely. I carry a lot of muscle weight - so I guess I may look lighter than I am.

    Originally my goal was 120. I met that goal 3 years ago. Now I'm trying to get down to 115.
    That might be tough to maintain. I'm 5'6" and I don't know that I could maintain that.

    That's downright unhealthy for someone of that height.

    I'd like to be 145 but my body seems to stop losing weight once / hit 160 so we'll see.

    I, like everyone else, have a goal weight of 145-150. Also pear shaped. I just take it one pound at a time. Who knows, I may get to 155 and completely love the way I lookd

    No, you're wrong. Sorry. I weigh 120 and am the healthiest person I know. Never sick, extremely active lifestyle with lots of exercise (cardio and strength), sleep like a baby, can work circles around people half my age. :-) Thin does NOT necessarily mean unhealthy. No matter what heavier people like to tell themselves. :-)

    I'm 5'8 and my goal weight is 125, although I'd be happy with anything under 130.

    Hi there! I'm 5'3" so not your preferred answerer, but I calculated my goal weight from what my healthy body fat % should be, using the calculator from fat2fit. Google it, it has quite a few different calculators depending on what answers you need.
    Mine is supposed to be around 120lb., which seems low to me but I remember feeling pretty good at that weight, ten years and two babies ago.

    I'm 5'6" and my goal is 135. I am presently 141. I have been stuck on a plateau between 139-141 for a couple of months. I am a size 8, but would like to lower my body fat %.
