I am 5'6.5-5'7 (I think I am taller though, since last time I measured) and currently am 276 pounds. What 's your goal weight?

    I started at about 230 lb (105 kg) and I'm 174 cm tall (5 foot 8 ish)

    I'm currently about 171 lb (at the low swing of my fluctuations) and still the same height :)

    Goal weight is 165 lb / 75 kg

    I'm 5' 7. I started at 220 pounds and I'm now 167 pounds.
    My goal weight is 157 pounds or anything around 155 pounds.

    I am 5'7 and started off 271 3 months ago. I have lost 40 pounds and am now 228. My goal is to be 150. Still have a long way to go but I am determined to make it! :)

    5 10 and muscular. Started with original goal of 180 lbs (at 230) but have since decided to aim for 170. I'll reassess when I get there.

    I'm a tad shorter at 5'6", and my goal weight is 150. Well, pretty much anything above 135 and up to 150 or so, because I think it all looks good in different ways for me :) I'm not very picky about it, so I think 150 is great so I can eat the most out of my choices of goal weight!

    I'm 5'8" as well. I'm looking at a GW of somewhere between 150 lbs and 160 lbs. I've never been that thin at this height, so it's hard to say exactly where I want to be until I get there!

    5'6 here.
    SW: 235 at my heaviest
    CW: 153

    I'm about 2 months into a lifting program and starting to see little changes which are making me happy ;) I originally thought 135 for a goal weight as I have been there before and was pretty happy with the way that I looked but I was also a lot less muscular the first time around so it will probably be very close to 145 but I will be more basing it on what I see in the mirror as opposed to the number on the scale.

    I'm 5'10" and my goal weight is around 150.

    However, as I begin to reshape my body and get closer, that number might actually come up a little bit. I am currently 189. I got down to 176 at one point and thought I was still a little chunky then but I bet 160 toned would be just fine for me!

    I'm 5' 7" and I'm currently at my highest weight ever, which is 242. I'm medium frame and I carry my weight mostly in my stomach. My goal weight is ideally 150 lbs. I have read in numerous locations that my height/frame ideal weight is between 150-170 lbs.

    Hi! I'm 5'7.5. SW was 242, my CW is 230, and my GW is 165.

    The lowest my weight has ever been was 173, but I blew up like a blowfish when I was pregnant! Ha! I had my baby earlier this year and would love to be that size again.

    I am 5'8" and have been 307, but started MFP in March at 262 lb. Right now I'm 211 and definitely want to get to 180, but I have no idea yet if I'll stop there or go to 165-170. 165 sounds crazy to me. I have not been that size since I was 12.

    5'9.5 here, started at 250 (including my pregnancy weight), and have fluctuated between 190-210 for the last couple of years (currently at 210)

    Short-term goal- about 190 so that my work clothes fit better

    Medium-term goal is 175-180 (weight when I got married and gets me to a "healthy" BMI.)

    Long-term maintenance goal is 155-160 (my weight in graduate school, when I was very fit/muscular, and is reasonable for my frame).

    I have my calories set at 1lb/week weight loss, plus I am working out several times a week to build muscle and tone my body (cardio, weights, stretching).

    I'm just over 5'10" and have an initial goal of 165. If you believe in BMI, normal for me will begin once I hit 174, but I know I will feel better a bit below that, where I was in college. I don't want to be married to a number, though, because I run and am going to start strength training next week, and I don't want to feel upset over muscle gain just because it keeps the scale from dropping as quickly.

    I am 5'9 and started MFP at 272. I am now at 263. I have a long journey but planned on stopping about 150. I have been told by physicians that I have a large bone structure so I will see how I look at 180 and re-evaluate.

    I'm 5'6 and at my heasviest was 230. Currently i'm 200 (on the dot). My first goal was under 200. Each consecutive goal is 10lbs less than 200 unitl I hit 230. However once i get around 150 -140 I may decide that 130 is not right for my frame.
