      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

      170. I carry I lot of muscle. BUt I want to focus on BF% I'd love to get down to 20%
      So which ever comes first.

      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.

      148 - that will be in the Healthy BMI and 50 lbs lost! On my way...

      My goal is to get to 145 ,,then maybe 140..see how it goes:)

      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!

      135ish

      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.

      140lbs suits me

      I'm 244 at 5'5. my goal weight is 155.

      I agree with you girl. My goal is actually 180. I have booty hips and NO STOMACH. I wanna keep the curves. LOL. I'm a down south chick! :)

      I am 5'5" and I would love to be 135-140

      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 goal weight is 175. I was 165 when I got married and think I looked like a stringbean!

      I'm 47 this May and 5' 5 1/2" and my goal is 150-160...I have a long way to go!

      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.
