Lovely 5'8ish ladies!

I'm just a hair shorter than 5'8" and have a "mesomorph"-type body (big shoulders, slightly more muscle mass than others). While anything below 160 lbs definitely looks "healthy," I'm shooting for anywhere from 140-150. In that range near 140 people start asking me how I'm feeling and offer me food (lol), so I guess that means trending toward 140 I'll have to adjust where necessary.

I am 5' 8", started out early June @ 220, cw 194, gw 165. Don't remember ever weighing less than 175. Mostly just want to be in healthy BMI range. Moving from obese to overweight was a great feeling!

I am 5' 8", at 179 now, and my goal is 165. i have a somewhat muscular build and have always weighed more than comparative friends, even though I was smaller. 165 feels comfortable, but when I get to 165, I will re-evaluate & might go to 145.

I'm 5'9 and shooting for 140. Just started so this seems like a daunting task, and right now I have set a small goal of 20 pounds in 10 weeks (I have a personal trainer 1x a week for the next 10 weeks).

I am 5'8" and turning 45 at the end of the month. When I was in my 20's I weighed under 120 lbs. A bag of bones. Then I discovered white bread, white rice and all the wrong carbs and I shot up to 160 lbs in the early 90's. I then got back down to 135 lbs. After having 5 children , little exercise, eating once again the wrong carbs I shot up to about 10 lbs. then another 10 and so on, so I am now 185 lbs. My goal is to to in a healthy body fat range, so if it happens that I am still 180, but healthy I will be very happy with that, but if I can be around 150 and a healthy body fat percentage I would be happy with that too. Anything under 150 for me would be too light. I like meat on my bones and I want to keep my real boobs!
