    all depends on what you want.
    lean,tooth pick,normal,tone,fit,build etc...

    There's so many goal, depending which one you want.

    for myself i'm shredding fat so I'm burning a lot...trying to go to 150 pounds..After that I will go back up with good muscles weight cause I want to be around 175lbs but fit and tone. So like I said...All depends.

    Be healthy, that's all :)

    My first goal is to get into the healthy weight range 163. My second goal, the one on my ticker is 100 pounds lost at 156. Then I will see where I feel the need to go from there. I want to feel thin(ok honestly I want to feel skinny) but it has to be maintainable for the rest of my life too. Right now I can't wrap my brain around the fact that I'm only 15 pounds above the healthy range!

    I am 5'7 and my goal weight is 180. This seem pretty high compared with most of the responders, but for me, right now at this moment in time, I see that as attainable. I remember feeling good at this weight my sophomore year of high school (I am a senior in college now). When the time comes, if I need to reevaluate my goals, I will do that, but right now, I don't even care if 180 is "unhealthy".

    I was getting told that a lot too, but the thing is you will look 'thin' looking on the way down, you're under eating. I went back up 10 pounds in the Summer and I looked much better and no one was saying anything, even tho they were saying I was getting skinny at the same weight on the way down. I was just fuller, but with less fat.

    I'm 5'8 1/2". My goal weight is between 150 and 160. Anything lower and I start getting the "crackhead" comments.

    I'm 5'9 with a large frame. Aiming for 150, but 160 would be just as good. I was 150 in high school, I'd love to go back to that weight!

    Everyone is different in regards to muscle/fat percentage but I'm 5'9" and weigh about 145 (give or take a 5 pounds)! I wear a size 6 and I think its a good weight. I was 138 last October but it took a lot of dieting to get there. 145 is a comfortable weight for me. I work out regularly and do weight training with a personal trainer...weight training gave me a flat stomach!

    edited for awful grammar! ha ha

    140 is about as low as I can go without looking ill.
    Right now, I'm 145, and I'm pretty thin, IMO. I've also gone from 26-21% bf too, so that makes a difference.

    I'm scared to get in the scale as went on a crazy food binge, but my goal is 135. I think that is realistic to maintain in middle -age. Need strength

I did the same made goals of 12 to 15 lbs, then changed as I lost it. Im doing the Vi-Shape powder shake diet. It's working great! ALso staying under 1200-1300 calories. You Can do it! So far I have lost 20lbs since July. Im close to the 180 mark now and am THRILLED! Even if dont loose anymore, Im happy loosing what I did! Best of luck to you! Lynn
