    My goal wait entirely depends on how I feel and look when I get down to around 140ish. I've never been skinny, so I don't know how I'll look, but I'll know. If I feel I have more weight to lose, I will. And when I get around 130 I'll be completely fine, especially since that means losing over 100lbs. I know it'll take time, but I've already lost 11, so I've only got 99 to go :)

    5'5 I've changed my goals to focus on inches/size vs. weight- since I've never "looked my weight" so to speak.

    SW: 225 - Size 16
    CW: 175 - Size 10
    GW: 155 - I'm guessing size 6/8 - Planning to lose three more inches around my mid-section, and try to maintain my hips as I go.

    All goals now revolve around inches and not pounds.

    Edited because autocorrect.

    I will see how I feel when I hit this current goal weight. I feel good where I am right now and honestly would be fine maintaining. I do not have a small frame and even in high school when I was at peak fitness I was 135-140 and in a size 6 jeans. I am almost down to a size 6 now but my body composition is completely different so we'll see. It's really fascinating to see the wide range of goal weights here!

    I want to be healthy. I am struggling with a sugar addiction and an I don't want to attitude. Another words I dont want to change anything I am doing but the weight to just come off. I realize this is unrealistic thinking. I currently as of today just want to pray and ask God to help me overcome the sugar addiction, and anytime I am craving to motivate me to either get into His word, Or get moving, or drink water. Really want Him to help me so I can give Him all the Glory as to Him changing me from the inside out. My heart is just wanting to be so disobedient and eat what I want. I have done this whole fitness pal thing before. I start and I stop and I start and I stop. I have seen some real encouraging things though. I would love to be faithful enough in my keeping track that I log in for 180 days straight. I would really like to get this extra weight off. Just to feel better. I have continued the walking and exercise, that is a positive.

    CW: 165 and a size 8
    GW: 145-150 and a size ?

    Most important I want to preserve my lean mass. Right now that's 117 pounds of me.
    So if I could get down to a solid 145-150 I think that's a good goal.

    I had hit 129 a while back and felt amazing...however, when I look back I realize I was substituting so many meals for smoothies and was only happy if I were falling asleep with a growling tummy. I am much happier now, even if the scale isn't 128. I am not just working on leaning out and eating as clean as possible. If I hit that GW, awesome. If not, it's all good =) Good luck on your journey! Always remember, it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change.

    I'm a guy; however, my awesome wife is 5' 5.5" and weighs 123 currently. Her goal weight is 118-120 because she's had four kids and wants to lose the extra tummy skin. She's already in great shape... she's just trying to tone and lose that little flappage :)

    5'6 with a goal weight of 145-150. I am working on weight training too though so I am not worried about my weight as much since I will have muscle mass.

    I personally think 115 is a bit much for someone your height. When I was 128 I was too skinny. You're life, do what you want.

    She might be small-framed though. I'm at 128 and still have some junk to lose!

    I still have some jiggle in the lower half, so I'm *trying* to get down to 120. Easier said than done though!

    SW 175 30% fat with 112 lbs of lean body mass
    CW 170
    GW 22% fat which will probably bring me to around 135-140 lbs.

    It's cool to see such ranges. I know girls my height who are easily 115 lbs. I am 112 lbs of lean body mass (organs, bones, muscles etc...) so I could never, ever be 115 lbs (I'd be dead) And at the same body fat percentage as a girl who is my height and 115 lbs, I am actually more like 135 lbs!

    It's an important note for us women who have a lot of natural muscle mass & enjoy weight lifting.

    same boat Leslie. I was 160-165 at my fighting weight and am like 30-31% fat at 176. and at 5'4.

    I had a stressful year and it lead to very bad eating habits. I gained over 15 lbs. I look and feel better under 130lbs. But the main goal is getting back to working out 3-4 times a week. I just started using my fitness pal and love all the tracking and accountability.

    I have a smaller frame, so 115 looks better on me. I was 115 before I got pregnant with my 4th child. It has been harder to lose weight this time around. I think my hormones changed when I hit 30. :)

    I set my goal weight at 125 because I was this weight consistently for 15 years. Any more I feel blah,,any less I look a little sickly.
