    i would like to be under 165 so bmi health calculators cannot call me "overweight."
    as of now my bmi is 30.4, which down right sucks.

    Great thread to read others thoughts... I don't have a definite weight, OK well maybe I do, it used to be 135 (um...yea I've been told that's unrealistic but that number has always stuck in my head for whatever reason) but I think if I had to pick one it'd be more like 150?

    That still sounds heavy to me but I know it's mental so please no one be offended because that's not my intention in the slightest.

    I think what I've decided is seeing how my body likes 160 or so and go from there. It's hard to NOT pick a number but I also want to be realistic and am doing this to be healthy not to be a certain clothing size.

    For me it will likely come down to body fat % since I don't think #'s mean that much regarding lbs. We're all built so very differently and I don't want to stall my progress by holding fast to a particular #.

    I don't have a goal *weight*. I just want to get to my 'happy place'... I gauge my success on how look and feel.

    I'm 5'8.5", large-framed hourglass. I have always been buxon and curvy.

    Not long after I was diagnosed with PCOS and hypothyroidism, I was at my highest weight: around 250lbs and wearing a size 18/20. Today I'm in a comfortable 16. I still would like to tone up more and lose another dress size or two. (My goal is a size 12/14.) I realize that, even when I reach my goal size, I'll still be considered "plus sized"... I don't really care as long as I'm healthy and happy with the way I look. :-)

    I disregard the scale and only weigh myself once every few months to make sure I'm eating enough for my weight, and to keep my HRM measurements accurate. I run and Zumba 4-5 times a week, eat back my exercise calories, and am getting stronger and healthier by the day! YAY!

    I'm 5'8 exactly but I appear longer and taller. My goal was 125 but at 129 I started to look super skinny and I prefer a more toned muscular look. So my new goal is unknown. But I'm thinking 131-134lbs depending on my body fat and definition.

    I'm 5'8" and my current weight is 112 pounds, but I'm hoping to maybe get to 120 eventually with muscle gain, though the thought of that scares me right now, I know it would be the healthiest thing to do.

    I am either 5'7" or 5'8"

    SW: at least 265
    CW: 149
    LW: 144
    GW: 130-140 (probably 135)

    I apparently have a huge rib cage.
    My body tends to hover around 150.

    I am smaller now than what I was in high school.
    Probably even middle school.

    Honestly, I would be happy with 145-150 if I could drop this remaining stupid body fat.

    5'8 Goal 120 pounds. I have a small frame. Anything over 130 and I look chubby. Current 152. I know a girl my height who was 115 and she looks perfect so I think I'll look amazing at 120.

    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", 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!
