What is your "ideal" weight?

I'm 5'6 and currently weigh 9st 3lbs (129lbs). Would like to get down to 9st or see an 8 on the scale so would like to hit 125lbs eventually! My bother in law is a PT and measured my body fat percentage at around 16% so try not to worry about the scales too much but it's a force of habit!!

5ft5 and a half, and 120lbs, although I'd be happy at 126lbs I think!

I'm 5'1.5" (156cm) & my ideal weight is between 100-105 although I don't see myself getting there because I have a lot of muscle haha. If I like how I look at 110 that's fine too, as long as I'm under 115 and never reach 118-119 again. (I'm more for going by measurements than the scale anyway ^_^)
edit: currently 114.8 ^_^

5'2", and since I think BMI is bull, I'll actually be going 150! Hell, I'll be ecstatic if I reach 160.

I am 5'5 and my ideal weight would be 115. I haven't weighed that much since three years ago and I just want to feel myself again

5FT 8 and my ideal weight would be 133lbs so around 9 and a half stone. Im currently 139lbs but still cant fit into any of my clothes from 2 years ago.. we shall see what happens when i get there .. i might go a few more lbs.

At the end of the day its not about the weight , its about loving myself again!

I'm 5'5" as well, I want to be between 140 - 160 because that sounds healthy to me. Per the BMI chart it says I should be '120 - 140'', but I don' think that's right.

I'm 5'8" and 160 and I'm on here.... You may want to aim lower...

This!^

Did I say something wrong? I don't know what ^ means. Sorry if I did, no offence intended :-(

^ just means they agree with the post right above in the quote.

That said, I disagree and think they're going for a great weight goal. Just because you're taller and want 160, doesn't mean because they're shorter they should go lower. What weight a person feels awesome at varies for everyone

I just realised, you think I want 160, no, I already am 160... Another 20 pounds to go...

I haven't been near my "ideal" weight in years and years so I thought long and hard about what I wanted my goal weight to be. I'm 5'4" tall so my normal weight according to BMI is 107-145 lbs. I'm aiming for 145 which would be at the highest point of normal. When I was in my 20's I weighed 115-120 and I think I could get there. The thing is I doubt I could maintain it.

I'm 5'1 and I would like to get back between 105-110 since that's the weight I was after high school. I'm pretty small framed and I'm overweight right now by about 20 pounds and you can tell completely.

I can't even fit my old clothes. :[

Im 5'5'' and currently 142. My original goal was 140 but seeing I still have a long way to go to get my ideal body I've changed it to 130. In reality I'd be fine with 135 if I could get rid of this belly and lower my overall body fat.

I'm 5'-5.5", female, and medium frame so the "experts" say I should weigh 130-144 lbs.

I'm going for 142 - it's on the upper end of that range & I think it is realistic for me.

I am 5'7", larger frame, large boobs. I would love to be 150, but I might end up settling for 155. I'm feeling pretty good at my current weight actually, which is 158.

Weight isn't a good measurement really, its best to go off size - so for me I'd like to be a size 4 or 27, depending on the jean brand and be tight and toned. Muscle weighs more than fat, so its hard to go by weight, but i'd say that would be about 135 for me, at 5'5. Started at a size 12/32 and 160lbs in May 2012, and am down to 141 and a size 6. Still working on the progress, and getting so close!

Ideally my happy number would be 130-132. I WAS that size, but at least 4 months of off and on binges, sloppy eating spurts, and some drinking have not helped. Time to re-lose the weight I had already lost. 8-10lbs worth. AGAIN!

I know the scale shouldn't be the be all, end all. And it's truly not a huge indicator of health but I felt good at my number. It made me happy. I have more to go, tighten and tone. My journey definitely took a steer towards health when I was seeing good results. It's still about health in the long run. I want to stop the binges, I was to stop the loss of control feelings, eating for reasons I do not know why I am eating, wasting calories on some drinks because that never feels good, and the constant beating myself up lately, day in and day out really feeling bad about me, etc.

I will get there ... again. I think once I see my number again it will be a huge motivation to truly make the change to stay with it. I have to realize goal weight or maintain, you can't let it make you careless with choices, that as much as it sucks and feels daunting, this has to be a lifestyle thing, a lifelong thing. I will only make it if I choose to. I really want to make it.

Luckily I didn't slack off on exercise at all or I would definitely be in a worse spot right now! :embarassed:

I don't have a goal weight.

I would just like to be under BMI of 25 and be able to fit all the nice clothes I bought last year.
