    I am 5'9". I currently weight 152. I would like to reach 145 then maintain a 145-149 range. I would estimate a medium frame.

    I'm 5'8" and the healthy range for us is between 129lbs and 160lbs. I'm looking to be around 140lbs.

    Though it depends when i get there. I'll probably be a bit heavier because i intend to build muscle.

    I'm 5'8" and aiming for 162 - 169. I have a large frame and used to have lots of muscle. Last time I was under 162, I was too skinny. I lost my butt and my curves and I don't want to do that again. I also would like more muscle this time so I don't really know where I will be at.

    I am 5'8.5" and based on my frame was shooting for 165. Anything lower than that and I look gaunt! Could not even imagine getting down to 140 like most of the comments on here. It must be about your frame, right? What is odd is if I do the wrist theory, I am small framed. But, I have never been able to stay in that weight range comfortably. I eat about 1200 calories everyday. I am 10 lbs away from my goal~ GOOD LUCK TO ALL :)

    I'm 5'8, started at 178, and now am at 153. I still feel ridiculously fat, so, I'd love another 15 to 20 pounds gone. So, around 135 or so. :)

    I'm 5'8", started at 215 and now I weight 173.8. My goal is set for 135, but once I get closer to that I might change that to 130 or to somewhere in the 140s-it all really depends on how I look and feel once I'm closer to my goal. :smile:

    I am currently in the mid to high 150's (prob about 155-157 at the moment).

    I have been about 130lbs at my thinnest.

    My goal is 125 lbs. But I would be happy also at 130.

    I'm 5'8", reached every goal I had set for myself and beyond, so now more interested in lowering body fat percentage.

    Started at 162 lbs and a size 10/12, lowest weight was 133.4 lbs back in March of this year, and got there eating 1800-2000 cals a day, size dropped to 2/4 depending on brand.

    Currently maintaining at around 2100 cals a day, weight fluctuates between 135-140 on a regular basis, but clothes fit the same, so no worries there. Kinda cruising through the holidays now, and will probably focus a little harder on lowering the body fat after New Years. :drinker:

    Diary is open, story is on my profile, feel free to check it out if you want.

    I'm 5'7.5 like many ladies on here. My goal is 170. I have a large frame and carry my weight in my hips, thighs and boobs. I look back at pics of me pre-babies at 175 and think I look awesome. That is my goal, 68 lbs from where I am now. Once I'm anywhere close I'll re-evaluate .

    Im 5 ft 9 and I think I currently weigh from 136 - 138.

    I think my aim at the moment is to get my body fat lower, I need to learn to not worry about the scale (As everyone keeps telling me) My goal for 2014 is to lose body fat and build lots of muscle, I am starting on my arms, then stomach, then thighs - Profile pic is of me now only just really starting to lift

    I'm in the "last 5-10" land where focusing on lowering body fat seems a more sustaining goal. Has anyone had success with yoga as a part of the pie?

    I'm 5'8" with a small frame...125 lbs./130 lbs. is most comfortable for me, so I'm aiming to get back down to that.

    I'm 5'8" and currently just under 160. My highest weight was around 190 and my lowest about 140. I'm gonna try to go even lower to about 120.

    I am just a little over 5'7'' and my goal weight is 130 lbs for now. Anything around 125 would be nice for summer as well. :)

    I'm just over 5ft 7 and I would be happy at 147 - 154lb.

    Some peoples goals seem very low - I know everyone has different body composition, but I was 126lb when I was 16 years old, but at that time I was rowing 6 days a week & burning huge amounts of calories. My mother thought I had an eating disorder, because I was very thin and I had lost any 'curves' I had. Even I felt too thin at that stage. I can't imagine my weight being even lower than 126lb

    I'm now 36 and although I want to slim down & tone up - I really hope I can hang on to some hips & boobs.

    Another vote for 160. I'd be way too skinny at 140!

    Ditto! I'm aiming for somewhere between 160 and 170, or a UK 12-14 (I think that's a US 8-10?). I'm built like a tank and build muscle comparatively easily for a girl, so my actual weight may be higher than it looks.

    Most people who are aiming for a relatively low goal are anywhere from 18 to 25.
    Of course when you get a little older it's normal that a higher weight is perfectly fine and healthy for you.
    But for me for example, I weigh 146 and my doctor tells me that I am still a little too fat and that I do need to lose weight.
    And I see that. I am way chubbier than other girls at my age and height.

    I also noticed that for example in America, the standard of being "thin" is way different than in many other countries.
    I studied a year abroad in America and there I was considered thin. I gained a good 10 pounds and when I came back to germany, I was simply considered FAT and unhealthy (and I mean by social standards as well as my doctors point of view).

    It is amazing how much we all vary in body shape and composition - I'm only trimming a few lbs to get my bf% down to a good level to start a slow lean bulk (5' 9" and aged 34, aiming for 126lb and currently 128lb from a max of 138) and while I may not ever have much in the way of boobage I've always had a substantial butt and hips. This was true even when I was at my lightest ever (about 107lbs) when I was suffering from a major depressive episode around the age of 20. I'm a pretty muscular mesomorph, so I'm a long way from being boney - I can see a few ribs but not much else, it's all hidden under muscle :tongue:
