    I think 140 is a great goal. I decided once I hit 140 I wanted to lose a little more, and due to some other things lost a little more than I wanted, so currently working on getting back to between 132-135. Good Luck!

    CW: 280.2 (yesterday it was 277.8 and I was SO proud! BUT it's TOM, so....)
    GW: 220 for now. I'd really like to hit ONE-derland, but don't want to lose my curves, either, so I'll reassess at 220.

    I know my goal weight is pretty high, but I have a very large bone structure with lots of curves and 5 years ago when I was at 220 I felt the best I had in years. But my fitness level sucked, too, so maybe that will change!

    Three years ago my weight fluctuated between 190 and 185. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I changed my diet I was always physically active so I kept that up I intially lost 30 lbs then another 15 lbs. I maintained a weight of 145 for two years. I slacked off and gained 20 lbs. So here I am started in January and so far have lost 6 lbs. My first goal is to get back to 145 lbs; then reach my final goal weight of 135 lbs.

    I have been 163 before and looked sickly! I wasn't exercising at all just eating right so I think this time with my exercise and muscle tone I will look much different at 160 so I want to see how I feel. If I feel eh then I will try for ten or twenty more :)

    I started this journey over a year ago and reached my goal weight. I was in the best shape of my life and felt amazing. Then I moved to Tucson and things just went so awry. I managed to undo every bit of hard work in 8 months. I'm beyond upset with myself and could just cry.

    Today I said to myself that I would let go of the past and the fact that I was my goal weight, and the fact that I undid everything, and just start again. I did it once so I can do it again. Starting right this second.

    I believe 150-160 is the high end of healthy, but I still want a bit of a belly and I want to keep my curves when I'm done. If I wanted to be lower, the lowest I'd probably go is 130, but of course a lot of it is personal preference. How you want to look, how good you feel at certain weights, etc.

    Always been an emotional eater. Celebration, Anger, Worry.....You name it, I ate for it. Then I never worked out because I was too full from eating. UGH!!

    Even though I've only lost a few pounds, I feel that I look a lot better. So my goal weight may change a bit. As long as I'm healthy and not gaining, im happy.

    5'7" around 130 now

    looking to be 120, hopefully back to 115 :) I have a thin build, so that extra 10-15 pounds doesn't look right!
