    I'm 5' 6". My goal is 130 lbs. My goal was set by my cardiologist. He actually said that my heart may only be able to effectively support maybe 130 - 140 pounds maximum so I'm aiming for the lower end.

    I'm aiming for 115lbs. That's where I feel happiest at.

    Between 128lbs and 135 lbs. The weight I was several years ago. Given my build, I look emaciated when my weight drops below 125 lbs.

    132-145lbs - ( I think in kg so I just had to look up what that looks like in lbs). I was origially aiming for 70kg (154 lbs), but now I'm here I want to go a bit lower, so I'll continue to assess as I go. I've started weight training as well so now I want to focus more on shape than weight

    These goals make me feel enormous. :(
    I'm currently 154lbs, aiming for 145lbs which I'm sure is the lowest I can go without starving myself.

    My goal weight is 160. I have a lot of muscle for Irish dancing and I love my body at this weight. Based on my experience with my own body it would be almost impossible for me to get below 150 with out losing muscle. I've been maintaining 160 for about a year.

    I think I'll make you feel a bit better! haha.

    I'm also aiming for 145, I'm just a few lbs above you right now at 159. Below 145, it can start to get pretty creepy on my body; my current measurements are 35-29-41. I'm thinking we probably just have larger frames than the first few to comment. Don't worry!

    I'm maintaining for about 3 years between 110-112.

    My goal is 125 and 34-24-36 measurements :smile:
    I think a lot of it has to do with how your body handles weight and where it sits. I tend to have most of my weight on my stomach, so the lower side of a "good" weight for our height works for me.

    i love to see so many that are comfortable with realistic weights for themselves. I'm 5' 6" and, with a larger bone structure, I'm aiming for 140 ultimately. My initial goal is 150 (which looks pretty good on me) and maintain for a while to get comfortable with maintaining before the really hardwork of losing that last 10.

    I am aiming for better muscle tone and 123 kg. That's what I weighed when I was 40, and then in 2 years I suddenly went to 137. (Started working from home, for one thing) I don't mind being big (for much of my skinny youth I desperately wanted to be bigger), but I feel heavy in an unhealthy way now, and that's my reason for wanting to shed the pounds. I have a tummy for instance, which scares me about heart disease, and I have lost big amounts of muscle tone, which makes me feel weak. I have never exercised, except for Tai Chi and yoga - no cardio but I have recently begun cardio on a treadmill.

    I'm about 131 now, and I'd like to get to 125, maybe even a tiny bit less. That's the weight where I feel I look my best. I'm going to start working on body weight training though, so those goals may change.

    Well I identify as 5ft7 (170cm),I often lean onto my toes but am actually 168cm which is 5 ft 6... Still not a massive difference. I'm 75kg/165lb at the moment and I'm planning to reach my goal of 60kg/132lb by my Birthday 8th of October.
    Note I exercise 3 hours most days now which has meant me weight is dropping down without starving myself(12 weeks). I do high incline treadmill walking fast all three hours. In weeks I've been seeing the change and my partner has too. It is hard and 3 hours is a chunk of a day.
    However exercise and diet hand in hand wasn't how I lost weight the first time around I actually got where I am now through food logging pretty much alone. I gained a couple back when I moved house and couldn't get net for 3 months. Lol.

    I'm 5'6, pear-shaped. I'm thinking around 145, which looks good, but I wouldn't mind getting to 140 :-) only 20 pounds to go!

    That 12 weeks was until my birthday current date 14/07/15, birthday 08/10/1994.

    I hover between 5'6" and 5'7", and I would like to get back down to 135, which is what I weighed for a few years after reaching my final height. Then I got married and gained a bit of weight, and then got pregnant. Post-partum, I got into fitness and lifting, and I'm now around 140. I know I have more muscle than I used to, so if I never see 135 again, I think I'm okay with that. (I'm recently pregnant again, so any real weight goals would have to wait anyway. ;) )

    My adult weight has been about 175 but I've been at 165 and working toward that again. Once there, I'll try for lower since I'm getting older and it's hard for a body to carry extra weight (age 54). But when I work out consistently at 175 I'm fit and in size 10.

    I'm 5'6" and 148 lbs. I'm fine with my current weight but would like to carry less fat and more muscle. I'm maintaining and working on a recomp right now.

    I'm 5'6 and currently 156 to 160 due to being 17 weeks pregnant for the 3rd time (not sure on my exact weight, I don't own a scale and my next weigh in at docs us Thursday but 3.5 weeks ago I was 154), but prior to that my original goal weight was 153 then 153 came and gone and I reached 145. Personally I felt too slim at 145, I was used to being kinda thick in the thighs and butt, but still fit, and at 145 I felt too small, plus my boobs got too small for my liking as well. After I give birth, I think my new goal weight will be 150 lbs. That's in a healthy bmi range and I felt good at that weight.

    Very true. My body tends to gain weight mostly in my butt and thighs so the higher side of a "good" weight for our height works for me.

    5'6, too. I'd like to drop down to 115 - 117, somewere there, depending on my thighs, upper arms, and abs. I'm at ~120 now. I'll give it another month and then see how I feel about my body.I might drop to there and then try to bulk a little more but I quite like the emerging muscle definition already so i might just leave it at that.

    5'5.5" and goal weight is 135, but I think I would be happy anywhere from 135-145, as I have always had an athletic/muscular build.

    I'm about 5'6" and a 1/2. Hourglass shape. Have had a baby. 25 years old. My goal is around 145 - I was 135 at my lowest in college (125 at my lowest in highschool). That 135 was very skinny for me and hard to maintain. I want something that I can maintain fairly easily. I plan to have more kids, so I don't feel the need to get really small, work really hard at maintaining, and then gain again - just want to be in healthy shape.

    I don't think that having a certain build or shape necessarily means that you like one weight more than another. I think we just like what we like. I mean, I am not pear shaped or curvy or muscularly built but I'm fine with a weight in the 140s. And I think that you could be more curvy and like being 120. It's much more of a personal preference than a "this weight fits with this body shape" match up.

    Yikes! I'm 5'5, and 168 pounds. My butt and thighs could use a slim down and the back muffin top. I hate that. But I feel good -health wise, so no complaints really. And, I like the gym I go to, so I'm hoping to get down to 140 by my birthday in October.
