    Im 5'5 and my goal is to make it to 150 and stay there or lose a few more. I normally make it to 155 and then gain it back. Im confident ill keep it off this time!

    It's been so long since I weighed under 200,but I think 150 would be a good number for me and a blessing. 5'5 ,218lbs now . Start weight 248 in Nov 2012

    I'm shooting for 130....haven't been that low in my adult life and have no idea what I'd look like.
    I know what 140 looks like, and I'd like to be a little smaller

    I maintain 13-133 pretty easily put I'm trying to get my bodyfat down to 17% or so which would be about 126. I'm 129 right now. Slow and steady :-)

    I'm 5'6 and my goal weight is 120-125 lbs. I weighed 218 when I joined MFP, and now weigh 200 on the nose. I've still got a long way to go :sad:

    I haven't decided a concrete amount yet but I think it's going to be in the range of 125-135. For now, I've set my ticker goal to 128. It's going to be a case of seeing as I go once I get close to it & figuring out a weight that will be realistic for me to maintain.

    I'm 5'6" and currently aiming for 126 lbs (9 stone), but will probably want to go lower if I ever get there!

    It all has to do with frame size. I'm 5'5" - 5'6" and if I hit 125 pounds, I'd look scary skinny (IMO) because I have such a large frame. At 145 pounds, I'd be a size 10. At 125, I'll be a 6 with my hip bones sticking out. So for me, it's most realistic to aim for around 135 and still be a healthy size 8.

    I'm 5'6", currently 117. Goal is between 118 and 122...the more muscle, the better!

    I am 5'4.5" and my goal weight is 135-140. I wouldn't mind going to 125-130, but I know everyone will tell me I am too thin even though just before I had children I was 123lbs. But our bodies do change as we get older so as long as I look and feel good in a pair of jeans and a bathing suit I will be happy.:smile:

    I'm closer to the 5'6" range, but I'm looking for somewhere between 130-140, it will depend once i get down there how I feel... I was 136 before and told I was looking too thin. :S

    Im 5'3'' and my goal weight is 128, again its just a number. Im at 134 with 6lbs left to loose, now I'm toning and gaining muscle now. When i was buff i was 135-138 and in a size five. My Levis are a size 4, go ahead try on Levis they made there numbers smaller so you feel better wearing them,….it works. Everything else is usually a size 6, except Levis. :bigsmile:

    Cheers!:drinker:

    145lbs. But I'm 42, have a medium frame, am curvacious, don't want to look skinny and gaunt so I will start assessing via the mirror once I get to 150lbs.

    5'5" and 140. At 140 I'm an 8 with amazing curves, and it works well for me. I've gotten down to 120 before and looked great but it's really hard to maintain and may not be realistic long-term.

    I'm more curvy at 130 than I was at 150, if you go by hip to waist ratio.

    Female 36. 5'5.5" large frame
    CW 156 with 33% BF
    GW 139 with 24% BF
    Should be a size 6/8 and S/M top

    At this point, I'd rather see that BF% change than the drop in weight.

    I'm shooting for 140. But, I lose inches more than weight. So I may weigh more but look small. I'll take what I can get!

    Hey, did anyone notice it was actually a male that started this topic?

    Just from scanning names/pics I don't think a single one of the replies was from another male, but I could be wrong on that.

    I would guess we haven't helped him much, ladies.
