    I am 5'8" and am aiming for 165-170 as i have a bigger body type. I am not petite and will never be petite so i think this is a good goal for me.

    I'm 5'7 3/4" tall. I weigh 154.4 lbs. I'm trying to get to 150 lbs. When I was married in 1989 I weighed 145 lbs. In High School I weighed 135 lbs.

    Right now I wear Medium tops because I'm a 34 DD bust. On the bottom I wear some size 6 but mostly size 8.

    Back in 2007 I was 150 and very happy at that weight, that's why I would like to get there now.

    We will see!

    I'm 5'7.5" and I'm currently at 179. My goal is to be 145 but I'll be happy with 155. I think 155 is where my body stalls naturally & I look good at that weight, so if I go below great if not I'm ok with that.

    I'm 5'8" and my goal is between 160 and 170. I have a huge bone structure and lots of muscle, so if you are anything like me you will look emaciated anything lower than that. Feel free to add me and take a look at my pictures

    I'm a morbidly obese 5'9" and my ultimate goal is 180. I actually can't even imagine being smaller than that. I think I would look like a concentration camp victim.

    I'm 5' 8'' and 3/4, and I currently weight about 108 lbs. Seeing all of these posts I wonder if my goal should be higher. Right now I just want to step up to 112 or so... but should really probably reach for 118 or 120. It's hard to think about gaining weight, though, when everyone around you is so set on loosing it.

    i'm in that range-ish.
    165-170 is hard to maintain for me. i've gotten as low as 172 and it was tough!
    i'm happy at 175-180

    I am 51, I stand 5'8" tall and weighed 230 lbs mid-April, 2012. I am aiming for the Marilyn Monroe ideal (size 12) and that is 170-165 lbs. I am not a teenager (duh) and I don't aspire to weigh in at the very athletic 130 lbs I was at 17; I don't have the time to work out that much and no desire to fight my body or starve myself. I just want to be a healthy, curvy middle aged woman with gorgeous white hair and lovely skin to go with the personality. Good luck ladies. Remember that who we are isn't "forever 21" .

    I'm 5'8" and currently 152 lb. My goal is 140 and I've been having a hard time getting there once I hit 155. I'm hoping to rev things up with P90X and get to goal!

    125 is my weight goal. I keep my calories at 1200 and cant seem to drop any weight. Still stuck at 149! Any help would be much appreciated.

    Dang, lol. I'm shooting for like 180. It's technically above the "healthy" weight, but I'm built thick. When I get there, I'll re-evaluate and see if I want/need to go any smaller.

    This.
    I'm 5'7.5 and as an African American, I hate that BMI chart! How can they tell what ethnicity we are from our bones, but expect that all 5'8 women that are a certain age should weight the same!? Makes no sense.

    I'm very boob-heavy, so I'm shooting for 175, and then I'll decide if I want to lose more...shoot at this point, I'd take a %10 loss! Still struggling!

    I like to be 125 to 130. But I model so I have to be on the low end of the BMI scale.

    135...but if I look right I will stop at 140

    Me too. I *want* to be 135, but realistically 140 with 18-20% body fat would make me happy.

    I'm aiming for 150-155. I think if I went any lower it wouldn't look right on me, I have sturdy bones!

    I agree with you! I want to be about 170-175... I'm 5'8" and I can't see myself at 135.
