I'm 5'4" ish maybe 5'5"... Started 84kg / 185lb, currently about 79kg / 173lb, just aiming for about 70kg / 155lb overall.

Most tickers I see, people my height, or less, are aiming for 20-45lb less than this... With taller people often seeming to be going for the same sort of height-adjusted figure...

So, who else out here in MFP-land is just trying to be a bit less chunky, with no aim of being "slim"?

    hey.... Well, I am 5'7" and I started at 254 (omg!!) and I am currently 240 (still omg!!) I originally wanted to be 150 ish, but I have changed that dream!! I am shooting for 180, maybe 170. I will still be chubby at that weight, but at this point chubby sounds great!!
    I am beyong fat right now!!! i have set mini goals, my 1st one is 230 and Im hoping to reach it by Easter! then My goal is 200 and the 180. I think your goal is fine, dont worry about what other people are doing and set your own goals!! maybe when u get there, if u wanna lose more then fine. remember to do what YOU wanna do!! keep up the good work!!!

    dont want to be skinny or even thin - Im 5ft4in and will settle for 140. Having problems breaking the 150 mark at the moment though. Still who said it would be easy :):smile:

    I also aim to slim down a bit but I'm not aiming to be "thin". I am 5'5" and I started at 167 and my goal is 147. This will put me at a healthy BMI and a body type that I can feel good about. Once I hit that goal I may decide to keep going. Either way I will work to maintain my new healthy weight. I feel it is more about getting healthy and feeling better about yourself!

    Oh don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my goal... Just wondering if there were others out there in the same boat :bigsmile:

    I understand, I am the same way. I'm very into sports and athletics, so being suuuuper skinny has never really been an option for me. My goal is in the 150 range, hoping for a comfortable size 8 or 10.
