What is your goal weight? How close are you to that number? Have any of you ever changed your goal after getting to the number you had originally aimed for?

    I'm 5'9" and my original goal was 136, as that was what I weighed in the 90's when I was doing Kung Fu. I was in amazing shape back then, but wasn't really watching what I was eating - I was relying on exercise alone.

    Fast forward almost 15 years, I joined Weight Watchers and started tracking my food for the first time after I passed the 200 lb mark. I switched over to maintenance once I reached that my goal weight 11 months later. The increased maintenance calories weren't enough, and I lost 10 more lbs. I'm now around 125 and find it pretty easy to maintain.

    I'm 5'9". My goal weight is 165, which I met on 2/15. In maintenance mode now. Thinking of trying to get to 159. We'll see!

    I'm 5'9" as well. I originally set my goal to 160, but since I'm there, and am kind of enjoying my new way of eating, I decided to drop it to 156. We'll see. It's been so many years since I've been below 160.

    I laugh when I remember being 130 in college and thinking I was fat!

    3 kids and 30 years later, 156 sounds pretty good to me!

    My goal weight is 125, however I don't mind weighing a bit more as long as I'm lean and muscle! I'm 133 right now. :)

    5'9" and 159 right now, aiming for 140 which is where I was before I got pregnant a year ago. Was 198 right before the birth of my daughter.

    5'10 and 138 but I have very low bodyfat % too, in spite of my higher weight.
    Last year, I was 125 and like a few others my height on this site at that weight, looked scrawny and older than my years. I also had more fat.
    I have no real intention of aiming lower now. Unless a person is that size naturally, they should not be striving to be that light.
    Find a weight you feel healthy at, and that is medically healthy.

    Goal is (hopefully!) to 125 lbs from 140, which is what I hit without trying when I lived in NYC and was walking everywhere. But also focusing on body recomposition and strength by doing kickboxing so weight loss is slow. After I reach it, plan is to continue to eat healthy, up calories a bit, and if I drop more, so it goes :)

    My goal is 160 and but I'll reevaluate as I get closer since there is such a range with how different bodies and heights look at certain weights. The number doesn't matter as much to me anymore as long as I feel good about where I am at. Right now I am 190 and although I love lifting and losing inches it would be lovely to get out of the range!

    I am 5'9", 44 years old. Currently 180, aiming for 160 during my weight loss phase. Once I hit 160, I will begin a progressive lifting program and figure if I end up 165, I will be more than delighted.

    Goal is 150, but I'm currently around 155.. which I don't mind.

    I would like to ultimately be 140-145, but we'll see when/if I get there!

    175 at the moment. I've never seen that weight as an adult, so it's a good spot to pause and reassess. I think I was 13 the last time I weighed that little.

    May go down further, since technically that's still overweight, but until I get there and see what I look like, I can't make that call.

    I've been at around 140# for the last couple months and would still like to drop about 5#. Been working on toning more than losing lately.

    5'9", 145-147 lbs. Not too concerned about weight, because I am trying to get leaner. 19% BF tested on 1/18, on a mission to get down to 17% by July. I want to be LEANER and MEANER! :wink:

    My original goal was 140lbs, when I got there and went onto maintenance it dropped to 135lbs, it now varies between 135-138lbs.

    I am smaller now then I was at 140lbs due to lifting : )

    I'm at 165 right now, hoping to get to 155. I'm pretty okay with how I look, just hoping to "firm up" a little more.

    Thanks, ladies. I am about 153 right now. My goal has been 145, but I am not sure it should be lower. I guess I can re-evaluate at 145.

    I am 5'8.5" and 210 lbs at the moment. My goal is to reach 160, which is 2 lbs over my high school weight. I might go lower since that is barely into the "healthy" BMI range, but I'm going to have to see when I get there.

    High weight: 280 lbs
    Current weight: 249 lbs
    1st Goal weight: 199 lbs
    2nd Goal Weight: 175 lbs
    Ultimate Goal weight: ???

    As an adult I've never been under 180 lbs but when I was 180ish I was very, very fit and exercised 2-3 hours daily. I liked the way I looked at that weight. Curvy and fit! It will be exciting though to see what 170 lbs or less looks like. Still got a long way to go though!

    Oh my, just had a look at your pics and you look incredible! 115 sounds so low for someone our height but I'd love to look like you... I'm 5.9.5" and also have a small frame... my current goal is 140 lbs but now I'm thinking I may need to set it lower! I'm at 151 lbs right now and nowhere near happy yet.
