    I'm 5'8, 368lb. I would be out of my mind happy if i can get under 200lb. 199lb would be just fine with me.

    I am only 5'4.5" - I would LOVE to be 5'8" - but no matter what I do, I won't grow :tongue: Guess I will have to stick to heels. Oh, and just hit 127lbs - and now, concentrating on toning! OH YA!!!

    160 at 5'8 doesnt sound that "big"

    I'm 5'3"--not tall but not "tiny" either. My goal is 150 and then re-evaluate from there. I'm really don't think I'll ever be in the 110-120 range. I don't want that. My sister is 5'4" and got down to 112 and she looked terrible. Keep in mind--I am 55 and sis is 51 so the wrinkles show more when we lose weight and we end up looking tired all the time. Seriously, there are many of us here that do not have really low goals. Hang in there!

    I'm 5' 2" and am currently 200bs. I know I will never be 125 (there is just no way with my shoulders) so I am aiming between 150-155 :D

    I have huge hands and feet, bigger than most men. I'm certainly not petite. Big is definitely the word.

    I am 5'5 and 190 lbs... post baby... but that excuse is growing old cuz my baby is 2 1/2 years old :) im not sure my body would look right at 110 to 120 lbs so i am trying for 140 lbs... however, i have always hovered around 150 lbs and have been happy with the way i looked at that weight (except sometimes when im feeling blue of course)...

    I'm 5'8" and about 220 now. Working for the magic day when my weight start with a "1"__. My goal is 170. Made me feel good to read all the other posts from women who are trying to get healthy. Im not sure skinny has ever been in my DNA. But feeling good and being a healthy weight is! That's my goal, a day at a time.

    I'm 5'5.5" and my goal is to get somewhere between 125 and 140, depending on my body composition.

    I know what you mean about some of the goal weights - some people on here have got really small frames but there are quite a few of us statuesque types lurking on here! I'm 5'8" and my goal weight is your current weight - I've got broad shoulders, large chesticles and big hips and I know what weight suits me having been there before - curvy is just the way I'm built!

    Chesticles, lololol. Me too.

    I'm 5' 10" started at 223 and my current goal is 180, but at 190 I want to spring for a professional to do a body comp test so I can see if I should shift my goal from there :P
