  • 125 :))
  • 145 which would give me a bodyfat of 20% if I maintain current muscle mass. Lets see!!!

    GW: 135

    I was 115 in high school and in the 120s in college, but that was just too skinny.

    My goal weight is 170. It's what I weighed in high school and I played tons of sports and was really active. It seems like the best and healthiest weight for me. I looked good! lol. I have a ways to go at 230 though.
    Good Luck Everyone! :)

  • Going for 160 on here, but headed for 180 and look at how I'm doing.

    I'm pretty large framed and my family does large breasts and big *kitten*, even when the rest of the body is toned, and my men appreciate the curves. So I'm not going to be anal about exact poundage on the low end unless I need to to get abdominoplasty done.

    Can I join you all?

    All through my 20's I was 120-130 (except for a few months when I was broke and lived on popcorn - went down to a scary 102!) The year I turned 30 was tumultuous and I gained 50 pounds and stopped stepping on the scale when it hit 180. I lost about half but for a decade now, I've been swinging from 150-175 depending on my mindset. I'm either right into fitness and health or right out of it.

    My goal this year before I turn 40 (next month0 was to get below 150 since I never saw a number that low at all in my 30's. I started off great losing 20 pounds so far this year but all summer I stayed around the 160-165 mark and here I am at a current weight of 163.

    I am an apple shape with my lower belly, muffin top and back fat being the bane of my existence! I have muscular arms and shoulders and am quite strong, but I call them my "french fry arms" because they're strong, but there's too many servings of french fries on top of the muscle to see... so they just look fat.

    I have a 32" inseam and wear size medium top now (yay!) and pants vary between size 8 and 10 depending on where I buy them. I'm thrilled with that, but still remember the days when I was wearing anywhere from size 3 to 6 (depending). I have small hips, no butt (gotta work on that), and toned legs. Like I said - it's my gut, back and arms that make me frown.

    So anyway, point is... I'm unsure if my goal weight of 145 is actually enough or if I should strive to be in the 130s? I guess I will get to 145 and see what I see in the mirror at that time. If my abs are still unsatisfactory, I may reevaluate and go for more, but as it stands...

    SW: 182

    I'd like to get to around 120-125lbs. I have a small frame!
  • Right now I'm 116. Ideally, I would like to be 110, but I'll be happy to maintain here as well.

    ~115. I guess I must have a small frame, because when I see photos of other girls that are 120 (my weight) at this height, they look borderline starved, whereas I've got chafing thighs and even a bit of a belly, and no muscle tone whatsoever in spite of regular strength training.

    GW: 145.
    CW: 171.

    I have always been overweight. I don't remember being under 160, but it was probably when I was 10 years old. I'm about a medium frame. Should I aim for a lower weight like 135?

    My goal weight is 165 lbs ( I generally say 150-165); CW: 235. I think I would look "ill" should I go under 150 lbs.
  • Im 5'7" and lowest weight 114lb but looked ill by all accounts GW now is 123lb not to skinny and felt much healthier!!

    I think anything under 145 would be too thin...we will see when I get there!!

    GW: 150-155 lbs, but ideally a size 10. I have a larger frame. Anythings smaller and I begin to look not well. I'm down almost 20 lbs since March of this year. I still have 30-35 lbs and I am going to make it happen in 2013!

    my, like, dream weight would be 135 probably but I think it would probably be really hard to maintain.. i don't know. i was 185 and my first goal was 165 and then 150....i'm at like 154 now... if it is going down i am happy.

    I went down from a size 13 pant size to a 9... so that's pretty sweet.. all my clothes are too effin' big.. and im fitting into medium sized tops instead of XL but i am not buying them because im self conscious and i feel like i have no right to be buying a size medium lol.. if it keeps going down i'll get more confident with it.

    My gw is 145, but I want to l get down one, maybe two sizes. I'm not sure exactly what weight that will be.

    I've passed that goal weight, my new one is 132.

    Dropping 2 sizes is awesome!! Embrace it and buy the smaller clothes!! You deserve it!

    I want to start with 150, since that's the lowest weight I ever remember being. But I'd love to be able to go down to 130.

    I'm aiming for 125, and I was just a couple pounds away the other day, but then I binged. :(
    Baby steps, but I'm currently aiming to be anything below 130, 120-125, and then moving towards 115.
