I am 5'8 and fluctuate between 140-145. My goal is 128-132.0

I'm 188 right now and my goal is currently 170. I'll see how I look and feel then, and decide if I want to try for another 10-20. I can't imagine what I would look like at 140 or 145, or if that's even sustainable.0

Wow, you're all much lower that what I thought mine should be. I appreciate all of your responses!
I am aiming for 160/165, which is 35/30 lbs lower than where I started at in January. We'll see where I feel best at, and who knows, maybe I'll push for lower or find my "happy place" somewhere higher.0 -
I am 5' 8" and my goal weight is 155. I have lifted weights for years and I look pretty lean at this weight

I'm about 5'8.5" and have been as high as 155 and low as 119. I'm 134.5 right now, and hoping to get into the low 120s.0

I'm 5'8" and shooting for 140. I don't have a tiny build and I'm very athletic-looking, so anything under 140 and I might now look so good.0

It's so interesting how much all of our goals vary!! I used to be 170 lbs... and I LOVED the way I looked. So that's my ultimate goal, at 170, I was a size 10 and was physically fit.0

Your goal should be base on your own BMI etc not anyone elses. Your body frame age and metabolism also play a large part . Whatever you and your doctor feel is a healthy weight should be your number........160 is not unreasonable or "high" especially for the over 40 crowd !0

Cripes. I might want to revise my goal... My goal is way higher than what others are aiming at. Maybe 160 isn't a goal but another step in not being a chubby housewife & working mom.0

I am aiming for 160 right now... we'll see how I feel when I get there.0

Currently 143 and looking to get back to 134 or so. At the same time I'm hoping to increase lean mass so I guess that might mean I settle higher than this.
At 143 I look 'skinny fat' and I hate it! I'm very envious of ladies of a similar weight with a lower bf%! To be honest I couldn't care less what the scale says as long as I look good, lol.0 -
I am 5'7 and I would love to be at 170-175. That was what I was at about a year after my little boy was born. And I was a size 14-16 comfortably. I started at 259 in Oct. and am down to 236. Once I get down to 175, I can re-evaluate. But 175 and fit would tickle me! :bigsmile:
Good luck to all of you'uns and your weight goals. :-)0 -
I am about 209 would like to weigth 160 for my height. 5'7 and 3 quarters. lol I used to be down below 120 but at 45 i dotn think that is a good weight for me anymore.what is bad is i dont look like im 209 at all but i want my BMI to go down and I am trying to force myself to eat more calories Im not a terrible eater but i dotn always like to eat breakfast and somedays ill go all day till dinner without eating and now I am paying for it because my metabolism has quit but i am working on getting ti working again I am working out and watching what I eat. im slowly starting to enjoy food again and my friends have been so supportive.0

I'm currently 190 lbs. I have a thick bone structure & look pretty slim right now. My body fat is at 32% right now so I'm aiming for 25-30% body fat & 175 on the scale. Some of ya'll are scaring me with these 120's & 130's although I understand your bone structure may be small. I really couldn't see myself there I would be skeletal.0

I started at 165, today I'm 155. I'll be happy as a toned 145, but if I can get to 135 that's cool too. Mostly I'm aiming to feel good in my body again, rather than a specific number on the scale. I can retain and lose a few pounds and inches of water/inflammation in a single day, so the scale is not nearly as accurate for me as how my clothes fit. When I was 140, my abdominal inflammation was much easier to mask without looking 6 months pregnant on a bad day, so that's probably the number I'll be happiest at.0

5'7 (close enough) my first goal was 180 which I am almost at, I will reassess when I hit that but I have 145 in my head.0

I am 5'8 and going for 163pds!0

I'm 5'8" and I'm trying to be 105-115. I don't want to be any higher that 1250
-
I'm 5'8" and my starting weight was 240 lbs, currently at 213.8 lbs and want to get to 195 lbs, but depending on how I look at 195 lbs I may go just a little lower. But my goal for now is 195.0
