Currently 300-ish lbs. Once I hit 285 lbs, where I haven't been in at least 5 years, I'll know I'm starting something. Until then, It's kinda been there / done that to be honest. What is your THAT WEIGHT?

    180 is my number because that will be as low as I was leaving elementary school, so it's been a long time, and it doesn't even seem possible right now.

    200 lb. Then it's all downhill (metaphorically speaking) from there.

    When I lost my first 10 pounds I knew I was doing something right. So for me, it was 170. My ultimate goal is 140.

    160. That's how much I weighed when my husband passed away over five years ago. Only 21 more pounds to go before I hit that number and set another goal weight.

    Mine is 199 I have never weighed that are below that in such a long time so when I get to 199 that will be like a big break through for me. Then from there on it will be a big success because that means I have followed through on a LIFE style goal, that in the past I never would stick with.

    155 which I'm finally at, but I won't shed any tears if I hit 150.

    it's not really hitting a weight it's staying at a good weight..

    I have yo yo'd so many times between 165 and 205 in the last 20 years I know how to lose weight...it's keeping it off for longer than 6 months...so once I've been at maitenance for 6 months that will be my day....so right around my birthday...imagine that.

    I started at 244 and 189 was 'That Weight' for me . . . the 190's felt as long as the 90's so I was still unsure!

    While I was happy to be out of the 200's I was still not completely sold that it would really happen until I got to the 180's.

    Just getting under 200 would be the first one. Then it's 180. Then 160. 160 is the ultimate dream for me at this point. It's the weight I said I would never go over when I was in High School.

    150 is THAT number for me. I'll get there someday.

    140lbs which I recently hit. I recollect some time in highschool being around there when stepping on a scale at some point but I wasn't concentrating on weight at all. Now anything more lost is new territory as far as I'm concerned I dont ever recall weighing less as a grown person.

    I think it's been about 11 years since I've seen anything lower than 170 on a scale... I've been stuck at 178 or so for the past 2 months and would really like to see it dip again!

    Ultimately, I'd love to see what I look like at 140... not sure if I see a need to get below that! Although I guess 135 would get me into "healthy" range on the stupid BMI chart... so who knows!

    220, what I weighed when I got married in 1989. Four kids and 25 years later I am here, currently at 267. When I get to 220, I'll believe my GW is possible. Until then, I simply plug away day by day trying my hardest to make the wise choices.

    My initial goal was 200 (i started at 260). Now I just keep lowering it as I reach it (current goal 170).

    I think 160. I haven't been that since my freshman year of college, I don't think. I would love to reach my high school weight of 140, but it seems so difficult.

    170. I got down to 170 about 5 years ago and never could go lower than that no matter how much I played with my calories and exercise. Got pregnant, gained it all back, and now here I am....sitting at 170 again, playing with my calories and exercise...and nothing's happening again. I'm starting to think I'm just never gonna weigh less than this, even though I'm still a size 10-12 at this weight :(

    For me right now I am still shocked to be under 180 (even by 3 lb currently) because that was just a fantasy to me when I started using MFP at 262 lb.

    180 has been my "ultimate goal" for a very long time and it's always kind of been the magical weight in my mind because that's what I weighed in 8th grade when at 5'8" I was definitely overweight and curvy but I didn't feel huge.

    After being over 200 lb for twenty plus years it's weird to be at 177.

    My highest weight was 307.

    For me, it was 128 until I got there! I kept going to 122 which is my new "THAT WEIGHT," and now that I'm here, I refuse to give it up!

    125. I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 153.4. I was 125 when I met my husband 6 years ago. And that's where I am the happiest and most comfortable.

    120. Don't know if I've ever been that weight as an adult.

    It's where I'm aiming for before assessing what are the next health milestones for me, and I'm going to buy myself a decent winter coat while I'm at it.

    I thought that too at 165...then kazam...I was 160...now 152...it can be done.

    careful logging, weighing solids, measuring liquids...that's it right there.

    Now at 150 lbs. Seeing I topped out at 185 when I was 9 months preggo, losing 35 lbs in 4 months is a pretty huge deal for me.

    BUT, I am still fat. So I will continue to work my butt off till I hit 130.
