What is your goal weight?? How much weight have you lost?? And how far do you have to go?? Just curious about others around my size. Those of us with a higher starting weight obviously have further to go, and it can be frustrating sometimes! My goal weight is 190 pounds. (I'm 5'11). I have lost 91 pounds, and I have 83 to go!

Wait...are we twins? :bigsmile:
We are the same height, and sounds like I'm not too too far from your CW.
My goal weight is 180ish. I'm also 5'11'', and started at 318. I'm currently hovering around 282, hoping to break the 280s soon. The smallest I remember being was around the 180s-190s when I was 14 years old.
You've come so far, that's so awesome! Congratulations on your progress!! :drinker:0 -
At this point I will be happy once I get back into Onderland. It's been about 18 years since I have been down that low. Once I get back I will re-evaluate. I think I would like to get down to 150 but also don't know how I would look at that weight. So far I have lost 42 lbs.0

120 - 125 lbs (I'm 5'2)What is your goal weight??
About 12 lbs (weighing in and updating later this morning)How much weight have you lost??
A lot. lol 185 -190 I try not to look at the overall loss to go, and just break it down into smaller numbers.And how far do you have to go??0 -
My goal weight is 165. I am 5'10. I have a LONG way to go but I will get there.

6'2", current weight 363. Now that I'm on a "cutting" regimen, I'm going to see if I can hit the magic 300 before the end of the year.
After that, I'll go have a BodPod bodyfat test done to figure out what my % really is - calipers and tape tests have been giving me odd results for years, and I would love to have the truth. If I'm at 15-20%, I'm going to stop there - I don't need to be leaner than that.0 -
I'm 5'8 and started off at 350lbs. My current weight is 276 so I have lost 74 pounds so far. And hope to lose another 75 before the year is up(crazy right? but im super dedicated). I have a total of 126 more to go.0

Let's say 20 stone (280lbs or 127kg). I still have a very long way to go.0

My goal? Well, the BMI charts say I have to get down to at most 189 pounds (from my current ~445) in order to be "healthy".
To tell the truth, getting down to 299 (as in, under 300) would make me happy. 249 (under 250) would make me ecstatic!
But honestly, getting down to under 400 would SIGNIFICANTLY lower my risk of diabetes, improve my high blood pressure, etc. so that's what I 'm shooting for first.
Oh, and I've lost about 11 pound so far, from a starting point of 457 or there about. So even under 400# is still almost another 50, and 3-4 times that total before I'd consider myself "done" losing weight and starting to work on maintaining it.0 -
My highest was about 350. I lost about 50 after surgery last year, and was happy to be able to maintain that, much to my surprise. This year when I joined MFP I was 300, and have lost 20 lbs to date, for a total of about 70. I only show the MFP loss here, but I may update that when I am closer to goal, which for now is about 140. When I get there, I will reassess to see how I look and feel as I am pretty short and I think that's at the high end of the range for me.0

I would love to be under 200. I haven;t really lost any weight yet I just started on my diet and exercising again. I have about 150+ to go.
need to stay motivated here =(0 -
Highest: 430
Current: 347
Goal: 270
I know my goal seems ridiculous, but I just can't focus beyond that at this point. I hit 300 pounds at 14 and 400 pounds at 19. I haven't seen 270 pounds since I was 13. For me, getting out of 'threedom' is the ultimate goal right now. If I saw 299 on my scale, I'd be the happiest 299-pound person in the world.0 -
My goal weight by the BMI chart to be "normal" would be 150lbs at the high end for my height (5'7). I've lost 34.6lbs since I started March 17, and have 219 lbs to go. Honestly though I'm just thinking in short term goals, getting under 350 will be a big deal for me. Then under 300, etc. Thinking of the big picture is a little daunting.0

I like your approach! I've been taking my weight loss in 5% increments from my starting weight. My current goal is to make it out of the 300s. From there I'll be aiming to make it down 10% of my starting weight, then I believe down to 275 before 15% etc.
Keep up the great work!0 -
I'm 5'10 and current long term goal weight is 241 ( basically I wanted to get under 250 and then go from there based on how I felt). 241 is an odd number but it's 150 lbs less than my starting weight of 391. My first mini goal is to get under 350, and I'm celebrating milestones such as 25% of that mini goal.0

My highest was 489
current is 346
goal is under 280.
While I know that goal weight seems high, considering my highest weight, my average weight in high school was 220 being athletic and extremely active...I think 280 is a good starting goal weight. My lowest weight in the past few years was 300 and I was almost clothing size back to what I wore in high school. Funny how bodies change so much over the years.0 -

My goal weight, which puts me in the "normal" BMI range (I'm 5' 9", male), is 175lbs.
Long way to go.0 -
I don't really have a goal weight. I have a feeling I'll know it when I hit it, but I would like to be around 205-210 again. That was a comfortable weight and I had a waist and figure. I'm 5'7".
Highest weight (2011): 321
Current weight: 290
If I lose at my current rate, that means about June 2014, I should be around my goal weight.0 -
my highest: 352
current: 320
goal: 155
I'm 5'9 now (was at one point 5'10) and the wii says I should weigh 153.5 but my goal is 155 which is my high school graduation weight. I would be happy to be under 300 at this point!! I will definitely celebrate that day!0 -
I don't have a specific weight in mind, but I would like to be a UK size 16.0

I'm 5'5" SW 315.5 CW 245 GW 145-150
I was down to about 225, but was at a plateau for nearly a year, then slowly started to gain weight back. Finally losing again, and making my way back to 90 lost. The next goal I want to hit is 215.5 0 -
HW : 330
CW : 315
GW : 180
I would love to see 180. But if I could make it back to 250 which what I was before kids I would be thrilled. For the moment just focusing on getting under 300. I got down to 302 in March but gained back after I stopped using MFP.0 -
Goal is 140 lbs (Jr High weight).
My high wieght (low morale) point was 396. Currently at 312. When I hit 260 lbs it will be a wonderful mile stone (last time I was at this weight was age 36), as will 200 lbs (last seen at age 21).
Female 5' 7" Age 53
At this point, I can't even IMAGINE what it will be like at 140 lbs..., but it's my GOAL!!0 -
My ultimate goal is around 180 . . . I'm also 5'11", but I don't think I've weighed 180 pounds since before junior high. I'll be happy once I'm 240 or below; that's what's been on my driver's license since I first got them but I don't think it's ever been honest. I started out around 405, and I'm currently at 378 . . . Short term, I want to be solidly below 350 before the holiday season.0

i started in january of this year at 398. i am now at 326. my first goal is 298 which will be a weight loss of 100 lbs. then i'll shoot for 248 and then 198 (200 lbs lost). after that my head can't picture it because i weighed 185 when i graduated from high school 25 yrs ago, so being that skinny again just seems amazing. but by keeping my goals in 50 lb increments, i ensure that i don't get overwhelmed and have successes on a regular basis.0

I've used MFP on and off for years, but this time my starting weight was the heaviest I'd ever been.
I started at 355.6
My goal is to at least be able to fit into a size 16/18 UK, but as I don't know what weight that would be, I'm just aiming for the 150lbs that BMI dictates as healthy for my height (I'm 5'5"),
So far, since the 13th of last month I have lost 18lbs.0
