    My current goal is 130 (right in the middle of "healthy" BMI). My true goal is to comfortably fit into those too-tight jeans from early high school again.

    I say 125, but I have no idea what that even looks like! I'm medium build but I don't remember the last time I was happy with my figure and what my weight was at that time (its been that long!)
    I'm about 140 right now and a size 6. I'd love to be more toned and lose some inches and I'd be thrilled if I wore a size 4 but I ultimately want to be strong, healthy. I'd like to be leaner, but not "skinny".
    Just wondering... what would it take to be a size 2?

    I'm aiming for 150 and will re-evaluate once I get there. I have a large frame and broad shoulders. The last time I weighed 150 was when I was about 21. My hips didn't broaden until I was about 24. So I'm hoping I can still fit into a 12 at 150 this time. I'm currently in a 16 at 185.

    I'm at 150 and a size 10. My coworkers keep telling me not to lose any more but my goal weight is 130 so that I'm more in the middle of the healthy range. I don't like the feeling that I'm one doughnut away from overweight and diabetes. I have plenty to lose in belly fat and junk out of my trunk.

    Don't let co-workers determined your goals. Everyone thought, when I lost my first 20lbs that I looked great and didn't have anymore to lose. I lost 10 more lbs - but I also started working out harder and lost 4 more sizes - I went from size 12 to a size 0 but my weight isn't that much lower than when I started - 35lbs total. But the weight wasn't the issue, it was the sizes that made the difference. Hope that makes sense.

    5'5 and my goal is 130lbs.....120lbs is too thin for me, I was 120 on my wedding day and think I looked sick.

    5'4", and I weighed 138 when I was 25 many years ago and was skin and bones. I'm pretty dense with a large frame. I plan on checking my bodyfat and BMI when I get close to see what's healthy.

    I'm 5'5" and my goal weight is 130. I feel like this is a healthy weight for me. I tend to carry my weight in my hips and butt area. I would like to be a size 4, but I'm currently wearing size 6-8. I know the size doesn't matter, its more about the fit. I'm working towards the healthy 130:) Good luck to you!!
  • i'm 5'6" and my goal weight is 122-125.

    I'm 5'5 and my goal is 105.. I'm small-ish framed and am110 now but I want to tone up and lose the flab, so whatever number makes me look toned I'll take it, even if it's not at my goal!

    Same here. I have been down to 127ish, and got way to many comments about losing too much. Even though, I still felt like I could have stood to lose more. Right now, I'm at 150 and would be thrilled to be at 135.
  • 5'5 checking in my goal weight is 135!

    I just want to get down to 147. At that point I will be at a healthy BMI and a body shape that I'm comfortable with. Plus I'm hoping that it wont be too difficult to maintain.

    When I was my healthiest (size 6-8) and working out I weighed 135. I've been as low as 118 but was skeletal/anorexic looking at that weight (size 0-2).

    My goal right now is 145. Once I hit that I will re-evalutate. However, I'm pretty proportional (168ish lbs and a size 8 currently), so we'll see.

    I'm just under 5'4" and my goal weight is 120lbs. I wouldn't mind pushing for 115lbs, but if I can hit 120, I'd be happy. I looked my best then.

    I'm 5'5.5" and I'm striving for 140-145.. never been that small as an adult so it'll be interesting to see what happens!
  • My goal weight is 115 lbs, but I'd like to reach 120 lbs at most.

    Speaking of which, how are you guys losing weight? I haven't been able to lose weight in a really long time... :(

    I am 5'5" and I will be so happy once I hit 150 but my ultimate goal will be somewhere between 125-140. Haven't been normal weight since having kids so I am not sure what will look/feel good.

    I'd be happy at 140, what I was in high school, right before my battle with bulimia started.
    My "healthy" goal is 125.
    My dream goal is 100.

    Mine is 125-130. I figure if I look and feel good at 130 there is no need to lose anymore.
