    I started almost two years ago at 148 and made my goal weight 135...I eventually got down to 125 after 5 months, and maintained that until recently. For some reason, I've been up 5 pounds since March, and it's getting incredibly frustrating, since I'm doing what I've done the past two years, and was able to maintain 125 for more than a year. ARGH! I don't know if it's hormones or what, but I'd really like to get back down to 125 and stay there:)

    I suppose it depends what your frame size is as mine is tiny and I'm carrying waaaay too much.

    If your frame is bigger a lower weight will just make you look emaciated!! Also really want to hang onto as much muscle as possible so we'll see how it turns out :bigsmile:

    I was 154lbs pre pregnancy, and a UK size 10/12 (US 6/8) and wanted to get to maybe 150lbs but mainly wanted to firm up my belly and thighs. I'll be happy to get back to the size I was.

    Anywhere between 130 and 145, most likely on the higher end of that range

    hello I am 5' 6"
    (actually, I just learned that I am 5' 6 1/2" and I am thrilled! LOL

    I am 43 years old, my SW was 166 (lost down to almost my goal, then gained back to 155, so my current starting weight is 155)

    CW is 149 and my goal weight is 120-125. right now, I am a size 4 to 6, depending on the brand of clothes. I have a size 7 shorts that I wear, and a size 4, and they both fit the same.

    I'm looking for 160lb, cw 170.
    I've not been lower than 157, I struggle with any less than that.

    GW - don't really care at this point, I just want to get stronger & fit. My old GW was between 140-145.

    I've been sustaining 148 for about 3 months and liking how I feel. I don't want to have to starve myself to get to a number that I can't sustain and be social. I've added weight lifting and I play field hockey, so don't want to become a twiglet (actually it's not doable for my body). I would like to lower my body fat. If I stay the same weight, but lose body fat then I will be happy.

    I'm at 155 now. My goal is likely 10-15 more pounds or whatever it takes to lose my stomach fat. If I woke up tomorrow at the same weight but no tummy I'd switch to maintenance pronto.

    I'm 5'6" and I think my goal weight is 155. That's the weight I was when quite active in high school, so I'm not sure any smaller would be realistic. We'll see! I'm about 80 lbs from that so I have a ways to go to figure it out.

    I'm currently 239 (HW of 284 this time around). My goal is 130 or 135, which might be too low. But I've seen from experience that because of my stomach, I always look a lot bigger than other women who are the same height as me. 8 or 9 years ago I got down to 199 or so, and looked a lot heavier because I carry my weight in my belly. I'd LOVE to weigh more and have plenty of muscle.
    I'm 5'7".

    My goal weight is 130, but I'm going to strive for 125 since that's the lower end of my healthy range. I was happy at 140, though, so I'll reassess things when I get to that weight! =)

    Height: 5'6"
    SW: 174 lbs.
    CW: 162 lbs.
    GW: 130 lbs.

    Nice! I'm at 127 right now and I am not sure if I will go down to 125 or further. I had a plate around 133 to 130 and now that I broke the plateau I dropped 3 lbs in a week

    My first goal is to get to 70kg (155lbs) though, after that we'll see how it goes.

    SW - 165 (a few lbs overweight)
    CW - 152 (high end of a healthy BMI)
    GW - 140 (near the middle of healthy BMI) OR 20% body fat (which should be about 144lbs).

    I have always been fairly muscular so carry a fair bit of weight in terms of muscle on arms and legs, plus I have large boobs. So 125 (the lowest weight that is healthy at this height) would be too low for me.

    Last time I went down to around 145 I was told I looked too thin and ill, but I think this was due to the reasons I lost weight (stress, working 2 jobs whilst studying, not having time to eat) rather than because that weight is actually too low for me.

    Started: 250 (size 22W)
    Current: 175 (size 12)
    Goal: 150 (size 8 or 10?)

    My goal is based on the fact this will put me in the upper range of the normal BMI. I might go lower eventually, but I actually like the way I look and feel right now, so I doubt I will go much lower. I have a larger frame and tend to carry my extra weight in a way that is spread out over my body but mostly concentrated in chest and hips/butt with a relatively smaller waist/belly. So it is a "curvy" appearance that I don't want to lose.

    5'6-5'7ish and GW is 160. CW is 167. SW was 200. According to my doctor and other people (probably just trying to make me feel better!), 160 is as low as I should go because otherwise I will "look like I came from Ethiopia." My frame is bigger, as is the rest of my family's, and my boobs are kinda big too.

    5'5.5" and my goal is between 115-125. I get so jealous of you ladies who can weigh 150+lbs and be a size 6. I weigh 147lbs and I teeter between a 10 and a 12.

    I started at 187lbs but didn't start MFP until I hit a plateau at 170lbs.

    This winter I am looking forward to strength training. At 147 my body fat % is still really high, like 30% high. I'd like to get it to 20%. I've had 3 kids so lots of opportunity to gain fat when I would gain 80+lbs with each pregnancy. I always lost it but still a lot of fat and no muscle.

    I'm 5'6, well slightly under that I think. I'm currently weighing in at 158 but feel far too big to stop yet. I'd love to get down to between 126 & 133 but I'd like to tone up as my main priority once I'm under 140.
