    5'6.5" goal weight is 145. That's a nice low (not extreme) bodyfat % for me at typical levels of muscle.

    Currently 218, working with some exercise restrictions - so lots of low-impact cardio (knees won't permit running until below 200). Have been doing weights and LOVE and rec lifting, but am backing off for a bit, as I can't do a balanced workout. So lots more isometric & yoga-ish things...but not my 1st choice.

    I'm 5'8" and 135lbs, aiming to mostly just tone and slim, around 130lbs or so! I run on my tread mill and like to do squats and leg toning exercises c:

    I'm about 5'8' and my goal weight is 145lbs!

    Currently I at 165lbs. I've been in the 157-165lbs range for months now because I can't stop myself from overindulging in late night desserts >.<

    Besides that I weight train 3 times a week for 30-45 minutes and do cardio 5-6 days a week for about 30-70 minutes

    For me it's about 145. 145 and lifting regularly for more than a couple of months would be perfect:)

    Im 5'7" and weigh 132 right now. I'm pretty much at my goal weight - I've stopped weighing myself and don't focus on my weight anymore. I would like to be more toned in the tummy area before I'm 100% satisfied with my body. I run and attend fitness classes at my gym (Bodypump, insanity, tabata).

    5'7" and my goal is around 140, possibly more depending on how much muscle I gain. I'm shooting for something I know I can maintain.

    Currently 154.

    I was at 130 for awhile but with major life stresses going on over the last two years, I lost my focus on 'me'.

    Now I am back at it.

    I am a cardio queen and working at incorporating weights. Just joined a gym and researching plans to follow. Just read NROLFW which was a good read but the plan is overwhelming to me.

    I have more of a goal range than a goal weight...I'm currently at 125 lbs at 5'7 and am happy with anything between there and 130. That being said, as I do more strength training I won't be freaking out if my weight goes up from building muscle :)

    Started this journey in 2009. Four years later I have gone from 238 to 178.7lb, however I recently re-gained 10 lb. Getting back on the wagon. Hoping to get to 155 lb. What a terrible time of year to start....

    I'm 5'8", and my goal weight is 150 for now. I'm at 170 currently. I would eventually like to get down to 135-140 though.

    Right now, I am not training or working out regularly. I do practice a lot of yoga and pilates at home though.

    I'm 5'7" and have a very narrow frame. My ultimate goal weight right now is 135, but like others, I will aim for a range of between 130 and 140. I'm currently at 157. It's within the healthy weight range for my height, but still too much on my very small frame. I mostly only count calories, though I walk a few times a week for an hour/ hour and a half, and run 2-3 times a week for half an hour. I don't do much strength training yet.

    I'm 5'8 and I'd like to get down to 150 or so, or whatever would be about 20% bodyfat. I strength train (the big 4) 5 days a week, do LISS cardio on off days, and eat roughly 1800 calories per day (losing about 1lb/week).

    I'm 5'8" with a goal weight of 140. I'd really like to get closer to 130, but don't think that is realistic. My lowest weight was 122, but I was "underweight" at that weight. Plus, with getting older, it is hard to get back down to your 20s weight.
