    I'm 20 and 5'8''

    SW: 251 (Although I'm sure it was much higher as I avoided a scale for a year!)
    CW: 240
    GW: 130

    My mom is my height and 130lbs. and she is perfect, it suits her body type which is mine too so I made it my goal! (She is also a huge inspiration because she used to weigh over 200lbs as well)

    age: 32
    height: 5'6"
    sw: 172
    cw:166
    gw:145

    I am also a pear shape. I have been as low as 130, but when I was at my fittest, (running 400m in 56sec) I was around 145. I'd rather be 145, muscular and fit, than 130 and weak.

    You should chek out mybodygallery.com. You plug in a weight, height and body shape and real women have sent in pix of what they look like...it has really helped me envision my goal along the way.

    Good luck to you!

    GW: 165 (for now)

    My main goal now is to keep moving and to eat healthy food instead of low-calorie junk. I have no fashion sense, so it's hard for me to use appearance or clothes as a goal (I'm pretty sure that I could weigh 135 pounds and I'd STILL head straight for the mom jeans, sweatshirts, and white tennis shoes). At 165 I'd still need to be just active enough to meet my activity goal, so that's what I'm shooting for. :-)

    Oh, I should add that the reason I have an activity goal is that my mother, grandmother, and probably great-grandmother all developed diabetes in their 50s and dementia fairly early, possibly related to their diabetes. I think staying active might help me to not follow the family tradition. :-)

    Hi! I had quite a similar SW to you, im 5"8

    SW 180ish
    CW 142
    GW 130-135?
    BF: 23%ish

    My goal weight keeps decreasing as my weight does! Everytime I get close I realise I'm not where I want to be yet, but that is much more about body composition rather than actual weight! I would like my body fat to be below 20%, even 19.9% haha!

    Before losing weight people used to say I was one of those people who was "never going to be really skinny", and I agreed, thought I had a large frame but as I have lost weight I see the real me, and in fact I have got quite a small frame under the fat!

    Basically what I am saying is, your goal weight and your objectives can change as you lose weight, you will know when you are happy and it won't be because of a number on the scale, but because of how you feel when you look in the mirror! Just keep going, you will be there before you know it!! x

    I'm just over 5'7...my goal weight is 180lbs.
    SW 253lbs
    cw 218lbs
    GW 180lbs

    Seems high but I think I have a lot of muscle...I can't imagine myself being less then 170lbs. In my early 20's I was 175lbs and solid muscle (was a firefighter and worked out for about 2 hrs a day). I think 180lbs will be a good weight for me.

    Gw-160
    Height - 5'8"

    I am very muscular when working out (iget lots of muscle, fast) a previous trainer said there was no way I should be under 160.Mi think he's right.

    I'm in a similar situation.
    35 yo
    Height almost 5'8"
    SW 250
    CW 224
    GW- 170ish

    160-170 is about a size 10 for me. Less than this just doesn't look right on me as I have a large frame and am pretty muscular. It's nice to know I'm not alone in this way, its not all in my head and that I'm not selling myself short by setting my goal weight at what some ladies have as their starting weight.

    GW-185

    I know I should be proud of where I am, but it seems like I have been here FOREVER!!! I think I need to start mixing things up to get over this hump.

    I have no goal date in mind, but I would like to get close by next year at his time :)

    I chose 164 because it's in the "normal" range for my height and a normal BMI.

    I am in the same boat as you ladies. I'm glad to see there are more of us out there. I hate the sound of 164 (my goal weight), but it looks better on me than anything lower than that.
