    what is all this stone stuff? I'm so confused!

    In UK we mostly measure by stones. 1 stone = 14 lbs.

    When I first joined MFP my goal was 147 lbs. I'm there now so next goal is 140 as I just don't know how I will look and feel as the pounds drop,20 years ago 126 lbs was my happy weight and it suited me, I'll just see how it goes from here

    Curious what others about the same height set as your goal. I set mine between 135 - 140 .

    At 5'5, my goal weight is 135. My racing weight is 125.

    Mine is 145-150. I have big hips and big tatas. If I lost any more I'd just look funny. Plus I have a lot of extra skin on my stomach from pregnancy so if I lost any more that would just hang there. Once I get my tummy tuck at 30, I'd like to be about 135.

    Mine would be about 165-175. I think that would go with my body shape. I have a curvaceous body, and these hips, thighs, and booty aren't going anywere lol

    142 -- that's the point where mom says, "you're looking thin" with a worried frown.

    I've found if I pick a weight, I tend to be much smaller than I am comfortable... I'd rather pick a clothing size I like my body at and shoot for that.... then adjust my weight within that. Just me though .

    I'm 5' 5.5'' and my goal weight is 147lbs, I'm currently 188lbs and cannot remember being any less than 159lbs so not sure how I'll look.
    I have a really big head though so will probably need to re-evaluate later on! :)

    I'm 5'5" and I'm aiming for 145, but will take anything less - When I graduated high school I was 110. I'm not sure I can get down that low again, or if I even want to. I think for my age, I'm 36, 140 or 145 and muscular will be fine :smile:

    My goal right now is about 130-135ish. I start to look too thin if I weigh less than that. But we'll see once I get there, I haven't been that small in 7 years & I'm sure lots has changed!

    150ish. Even though right now I'd love to see under 200. Almost there!

    I'm shooting for 125lbs. 120 would be great. I gain ALL of my weight in the front of my stomach, so when I turn sideways, I look pregnant.

    Ending goal will be 150, from there I'll see if I want to go further :)

    This is a great article about how to calculate your ideal weight based on body fat % rather than a general age/height chart: http://www.builtlean.com/2010/05/04/ideal-body-weight-formula-how-to-calculate-your-ideal-weight/

    150. If I get much under that, I look sickly.

    My goal is 115. My body is stubborn and stores all my fat on my 'pooch belly'. I started at 130 and I'm almost halfway there!

    Who needs scales when we've got our moms? :heart:

    My current goal is 150. Mainly because at my age and stage of life I don't know if I want to do what will probably be necessary to drop me lower. I'll re-evaluate when I get there.

    I'm 5' 5 1/2" and I don't want to go below 140lbs. I'm not unhappy with my current weight, I just want to shed some fat. I want to see the muscle I've worked so hard to build.
