    5'8
    SW: 228 - size 18
    CW: 186 - size 12
    GW: 160

    I picked 160 out of the air....I have no idea what I will look like at that point as I probably haven't weighed that since I was 12. But I know as I get further down I'll be concentrating more on BF%. I don't mind being thicker, as long as it is lean mean muscles that lets me run, jump, crawl, climb and do all sorts of crazy stuff. I prefer the athletic build to the skinny model look. Personal preference.

    Yay taller ladiessss
    I'm 5'8
    SW 155
    CW 137
    GW 125
    I used to weigh 115 back before the college drinking days hah, so I think 125 is a healthy target for me. The first ten pounds were so easy! I'm starting to slow down now though, and I've been lazy about my running..

    I was 150 before my last baby. Currently 170, I would like to be back at 150 and go from there...140 would be nice.

    We are similar. I'm 5'9", currently 170 and goal of 155.

    I'm 5'8" and currently 151 ish. Goal is maybe 145. I am a 6/8 and have a good bit of muscle. I don't think I'd ever get down much below that without losing a lot of muscle.

    ^^ this

    i was an athlete for years back in school and while i've managed to gather some fluff in recent years, i feel like i've held onto a fairly solid frame. i feel good around 140-145 and i think trying to go lower is going to take a TON of work for me to do and maintain. also, i figure i'm healthy where i am i just want to feel leaner and stronger so not getting too worked up over it

    absolutely! sure, i've thought about what it might be like to be under 140. i was between 135-140 as a high school athlete and then bulked up to about 160 my freshman year of college. after my days as a competitive athlete came to an end, i settled back down around 145, which has looked both lean and not so lean on me depending on how i am eating and taking care of myself. if i'm a healthy, lean 145 i feel pretty good, but might shoot for 140 to see if i can get a little more definition and depending if i start to fall between sizes which gets to be a pain. i've felt good at 160 (as an athlete, not how i was carrying it when i decided i had to start losing) but i was putting a lot of work into that

    Was 165 I'm now 161 and trying to achieve maintenance

    As always with these threads I'm happy a good 10-20lbs above the 'norm' ..but I'm a US 6 at 165lb and still have my D-cups and some curves

    I wouldn't panic if I dropped a little more but this is my range

    SW: 243
    CW: 236
    GW: 143

    (Or: SW 110kg, CW 107kg, GW 65kg. To look at the amount I have lost is better in pounds - yay I've lost seven pounds! - but to look at how far I have to go is far less demoralising in kilos.)

    5'8" SW:210 CW:197 GW:160

    I think 160 is the lowest I've ever been. I can't imagine I'd look good at anything under 150-155. Lol.

    I'm 5'8.5''
    SW 235lbs - size uk18-20
    CW 204lbs - size uk14

    I was about 140lbs when I was 18 and I looked unhealthy at that weight.
