    It might go down once I reach 160 but I have to make it there first.

    Currently 146
    At least: 135 - which I think would be ideal for me and I would look best at, and it's easy to find clothes that fit
    Aiming for 125 - not sure it's reasonable for me to get there, but it's 5 lbs. above the min. healthy wt. for 5'7"
    Really 130 - is what I'm trying to get below because that's when my husband started complaining I looked heavy

    I figure IF I can get down to 125, then it will give me a few lbs. of leeway to stay below where my husband thought I looked heavy.
    I think that below 125, my face looks gaunt...

    I'm currently 143. Hoping to get between 130 and 135. I'm doing P90x right now and building muscle. I want to be that sexy fit, not skinny fat. :)

    I'm 58 yrs old and large framed.

    HW 269

    SW 220

    CW 203

    GW 180

    UGW 160

    I weighed 160, when I got married (39 yrs ago) and I looked good, but I've shrunk almost 2" since then (arthritis) so I think that between 180 - 160. Definitely not lower than that. My goal is to be healthier not skinny and my husband doesn't like "skinny women". I guess that's lucky for me.
    I'm just calorie counting and eating healthy foods and walking. I know I'll get there with God's help and your support.:bigsmile:

    I have never been under 199 as an adult. I honestly dont know how 155 would look on my. I was in a size 14 at 199 and i have a larger frame. So i am jusy going to go till i cant lose anymore and maintain. Setting little goals as i go.

    I'm shooting for 154 the same as I was twenty years ago but if I fit in my UK size 14 wedding dress with a 29inch waist by July next year I don't care what the scales say!

    I'm currently UK size 16 and have a 35 inch waist. I'm dropping about a pound a week now.

    I'm going for 140 right now (currently 188). I have no idea if I'm a big or small framed person as is mentioned a lot on here. When I look through mybodygallery.com, girls look so different at 5'7. So I have no idea what I will look like when I lose more! I just want to lose my stomach fat and I'm worried that I won't lose it until under 140.

    I am fairly muscular so a lot of this is just fat that's ready to melt away. If anyone has gone through the journey of 190 - 140 (and below), I'd love to hear your story. I don't want to end up with any plateaus due to eating too many or too few calories given my workouts, etc - I'd rather just learn from others and do it right the first time! Please message/friend me if you're in a similar boat or want to share about your success!

    I'm currently aiming for 120lbs. I have a small bone structure though and have never been close to that weight at this height, so once I reach that weight I'm going to reevaluate.

    I'm 5'6 1/2" I started out at 145 lbs in Aug 2012 with no real idea of where I wanted to end up. At the beginning of Dec 2013 I found myself at 117 lbs. I knew this was much lower than I should be and have been reassessing over the last couple of months where I really want to be. I'm thinking now that I would be better off at closer to 126 lbs.

    So now I find myself in the position of having to gain weight again, which is strangely harder than I thought. My grocery shop this week has included many more calorie dense foods. If I'm going to be putting on weight I want to try and do it in a healthy fashion :-)
