    im 5'8 and my goal is 165lbs, I havent been under 200 for 10 years and have always been big, When I did get down to 180 I was a size 10 so not really sure what size id be at 165, I dont want to be thin, just healthy.

    5'9 and 140-145ish, i stopped weighing and started paying attention top body fat %. I'm 21-22 % right now, and want to get to 19 or 20. I was warned not to go much lower than that for my build and training demands.

    i have a medium build and am a size 6, if that helps.

    I'm 5'9 and am currently 181lbs, looking to shimmy down to 140lbs. I think I'd be pretty happy around there but we'll see :)

    I'm 5'8" and I don't think I could ever weigh under 150 (though I'm not against it!), but I've always been very busty, even when I was a size 6 I had DD cups. I shouldn't complain - but any time I lose weight, my chest doesn't change much so I feel a little disproptionate when I'm around 150, and I'm most comfortable at 160-165.

    I'm 5ft 8 and just hit 134lb. I still have a lot of belly fat and am not sure if I should still be thinking about the scale or if it's down to bf% now. I am having a really hard time not focusing on the scale though. I realise my weight seems lowish for my height but i still have so much fat on my stomach. No where else though!

    Wow, some low weight goals here - you girls must be built pretty differently from me. I'm just shy of 5'8" and aiming for 170-175-ish, currently bobbing back and forth between 192 and 196. I doubt my body will let me go much lower - maybe 165 as an absolute lowest. Like Berry, my main goals now revolve around inches and Body Fat % rather than weight as such.

    so glad i'm not the only one thinking like this, i'm 5'10 and sitting at 207 with a goal of 175, the lowest i've ever been in my life is 150 and i was looking sickly

    I'm 5'8" and weigh 153 pounds. This is essentially my goal weight. I have 16% body fat, which is the number that I focus on. I have tried to lose more weight in the past but always end up having to give up some of my athleticism, which I am not willing to negotiate on anymore. I climb mountains, run, and cycle. I usually have 1 8-12 hour activity on a weekend day and do cross training 5x per week for an hour a day.

    This is close to my goals, though I may have to stop at 160-162 with 18% body fat after my hydrostatic body analysis reported that I have 134 pounds of lean body mass. I need that for getting myself up and over mountains (either on foot or bike)! =)

    I'm 5'9" and 137. I've always weighed between 130-140, but I have a really small frame. (Plus, I'm a pear and carry everything in my hips.)

    I'm doing this to eat healthier and get stronger, not lose weight.

    The goal weight really should depend on the individual. I'd be happy to get a few pounds in my boobs, but I never gain there....just in my belly and butt. :tongue:

    I'm 5'9" and 136 - trying to get down to 130, and lose 5% body fat... Though, right now, I'm kinda stuck. I work out 4x a week, both cardio & weight training.

    I'm 5'9, currently 158, start weight 184. My goal is 155, give or take a few lbs.

    I am more concerned with getting my BF% down a little lower and build muscle/lose fat, sitting around 26% right now.

    Exactly this, except that I haven't been under 200 in about 15 years. 165 is my goal because it puts me at a healthy BMI. I can't possibly imagine myself weighing less than that since I'm big boned but kudos to all of you who can maintain it!

    So glad I'm not alone! I feel too top heavy! But at the end of the day I just want to focus on health.

    I'm 5'9, and the weight crept up to 172 as I hit 35. Currently 152-157, and aiming for 140 or under. I find lifting weight helps to maintain weight and shape, even if I do still overindulge on the food side. I'm aiming to shift a good few pounds before the end of May (my sisters wedding - those family photos will be around a looong time!) Good luck to everyone!

    I'm 5ft 8 and at 123 pounds, trying to get to 105-ish by late September. (I do ballet, so I have to be pretty thin) I just started this program yesterday, and I'm super excited! Good luck, everyone!
