    I'm trying to get down to 120. I hope to maintain around 125 but we'll see. Let's be real. ...I'd be happy with anything below 150.

    I'm at 159 and actually pretty happy. There are still wobbly bits, and my original goal was closer to 150, but I'm taking a break for maintenance because it's taken me just over a year to get this far. I may pick up in the new year for a push to get rid of those last 10 pounds. I'm over the moon to have come from a size 18/20 down to an 8/10 and don't really need to go much further.

    I'm 116lb at 5"7, I wouldn't want to be any lighter as I'm happy at this weight, but to be fitter is the goal!

    Right now my goal is 150. I'll re-evaluate once I get there (at 166 now).

    You don't sound creepy at all. Lol. And thank you! My bmi is a big concern for me considering my dad needed a knee replacement.

    It's interesting to hear everyone's goals for the same height! I was as low as 125 before but I lived a very active lifestyle and now I'm sedentary (sad face).

    I'm 5'7 and anything below 150 and I have ribs and hip bones sticking out unattractively. But I'm bigger boned and I couldn't pull off the lower weight. Plus I think my hubby would cry if I lost that much lol

    My goal right now is to reach 150. Once I reach that goal, I'll reassess and see where I want to go. Ultimately, I'd like to look into recomping, but that could be a couple years down the road.

    I don't have a firm number because I'm more interested in what I see in the mirror. That being said, my guess is that I will end up in the 137-142 range.

    I'm hovering around 130 and goal weight is 120. Started the year at 150. I'm fairly comfortable anywhere under 135.

    Healthy bmi is my goal for now, about 13 lbs to get there.

    Then the mirror will be my guide. I suspect I'm going to still have quite a ways to go to be where I want to be. But I 'm finally starting to like what I see in the mirror, how my body is starting to take form and come together.
    For a long while my body was looking kind of a mess from the effects of weight loss.

    My initial goal is 140 but ideally would like get down to 133. I'm currently 147 and holding all excess weight on my mid section.

    I'm not sure. I'm in the clothes I wanted to wear again, but the last time I wore them I was about 15 lbs lighter. So I'm at my goal size, but not weight. My BF% is in the healthy range, but I think I'd like to lose another 10 or so.

    Edit: I'm 160ish now and original goal was 145

    My goal was 145, and I'm 134 now without trying to get lower. But now, after a few months, it's much easier to gain weight, so I'm having to watch my calories again.

    I have a large (wide) frame and carry muscle in my legs. 145 looked nice on me. 134 just got rid of more abdominal fat layer, so I was lucky that that's where those last lbs wanted to come from! Miraculously, I didn't lose breast inches since about 150-155 lbs. I don't mind smaller breasts at all, but my skin elasticity isn't what it used to be for real (I just turned 45).

    My goal used to be 135, but right now I'd just be happy to be below 150 (and at a healthy BMI). I have a pretty large build, so I'm thinking I probably won't drop below 140.

    I'll reevaluate once I get closer and see what my body fat % is :) I'd rather be 145 lbs and a size 6 than 135lbs and a size 8!

    1st goal is to make it to 150 lbs
    2nd goal, I think I have decided on right smack in the middle of normal range which is 135 lbs.
