Right now I'm @ 146 lbs and going for 125-130... Also what is your time frame for your weight loss?
I'm trying to reach my goal by September...

    I'm 5'4" and currently 118 (and have maintained for a year) but I've got a small frame and am considering dropping another five or so before summer just to see what it looks like.

    5'5" and my "ideal" weight is 125. I use quotation marks because my weight has never been so low in my adult life :) I was once 129, and it was FANTASTIC.

    I'd say 4 months is reasonable to drop 15-20 pounds. That's 3.8-5 pounds a month, which is around 1 lb/week. Very sensible. Don't forget to maintain your muscle!

    I'm 5'5" and aiming for 135 at the moment. I weighed around 130-135 in high school and loved how I looked. I don't really have a time frame for when I want to reach it because I don't want to stress about having to lose x number of pounds in x number of days, but hopefully in the next 2-3 months!

    I am currently 172 @28% bodyfat so my calculator says I will be at 155 at 20% body fat. So, I guess that's my ideal weight.

    My goal number is 140, but I care more about fitting into my goal pant size which is a 6 (cant go smaller, I brused my hip bones on a size 4 once in highschool).

    I lift heavy weights so my weight isnt as much as a concern for me because I know that I could LOOK smaller than someone my height who may be 10 pounds lighter than me.

    I'm thinking somewhere between 55 and 60 kilos should be ok for me.

    125 is my ideal weight. I was that size about five years ago and it was comfortable. For a minute I got down to 117 but I looked sickly. I have a medium build, right now I'm 136 abs in size 4 pants.

    I am 5'5" and 147 right now. I would love to get down to 125. The closest I ever got once after my 2nd child was 127 and I know I still wanted to lose a tad more. I think I would be happy at 125 but if not I can't think any less than 120. As for time frame, I have been at it for 85 days so far (so roughly 3 months) and I would just like to see what the next 90 days brings me. I would love it if I could go to maintenance. :)

    Seeing these weights that people post here makes me depressed XD
    I'm 5'5 and goal weight right now is 142-145. The *lowest* I've been was 130 and I just looked ill, so I have no interest in going back to the 130s. I'll just probably stay on the higher range of the "healthy" weights, but it matches my body I think (or I hope)

    I'm currently 175ish but my goal is somewhere between 135-145. I don't have a set time frame and I'm more concerned about how I feel in and about my body as a goal than the number.

    My thoughts exactly. I am 5'6 and my goal weight is between 150-160. At 153lbs I was happily in a size 8 and felt fantastic. I have a medium frame, but I definitely am satisfied with a higher weight than most of these people are starting out with! Oy!

    I'm currently 234 and I don't have a goal weight. I do have a goal size/look/feeling though. I'll know it when I get to it. For me it's about how I look, feel and how fit I am, not a number on a scale.

    In high school I was 151 and looked great but 162 was more my "average" weight. I will truly be satisfied if I get down to 165/size 10

    I am 5'4" right now my goal is around 130 but that will change as I get closer, it may be more or less. I am going to go on how I look/feel when I get there. I am not set on a specific number.

    I would like to be at my goal by Christmas.

    I'm 5'5" and currently 134-136 which I have maintained for a year. My goal weight is 120-125 but I will be thrilled to get below 130 by the end of this year.

    I'm 5"5 and the smallest I have been since highschool was 148lbs. I am aiming for 150, but ideally, I'd be happy with anywhere from 145-160. My ultimate goal is to fit into a dress I wore a few years ago that I absolutely love. I'll never be below a size 9/10 in jeans becuase of my butt. Even when I was 125 in highschool I had to wear that size! My a** never dissappears! =)

    I'm a little taller than 5'5"...5'5.5" but my current weight is 155 and I'm a size 10. Ideally I'd like to weigh 135-140 which would probably be a 6 or an 8.
