    5'6", currently 161, and right now I just want to get to healthy/normal bmi. Which is 6-7 lbs away.

    Though dropping 5 lbs is actually making a very noticeable difference now, unlike when I was much heavier, so I don't know what kind of impact that losing another 6-7 lbs will have. I dropped almost 5 lbs last month and it seems just from that small drop that now my ribcage is really visible on my chest. And my shoulders have a lot of definition that is now suddenly showing.

    So I really don't know how much further I'll need to go, since 5 lbs seems to be accomplishing more than I've been used to.

    I am 5'7 1/2 and at the dr's office last week I was finally forced to face my actual weight which I knew had been increasing significantly over past year but without going on a scale I didn't know just how bad: 278lbs. This is absolutely an all time high for me. My goal weight is 160lbs.

    Only 118lbs to lose. Wow. I have a lot of work to do.

    1 pound at a time and you'll get there! Start with mini goals and celebrate them! Peruse the boards and you'll find a lot of people in your same situation and a lot of people who were in your situation who have had some amazing losses. You can absolutely do this.

    5'7 Age 57.
    SW 183
    CW 137
    BMI middle of weight range. Size 8.
    Was trying to lose to fit into a size 6. Decided that was ridiculous.
    Feeling good is not about a size number.

    I'm 5'6'' and went from 165 and am currently at 132. Pretty spot on to what you were thinking! I'm happy at this weight, but I think I might go down to 125 just so I can have a range of comfortable weight.

    I,m 5ft 6 , would love to be 125-130 like I was in my twenties but now will settle for a livable weight , horrified when I started going up above the 200 line but weight was not coming off and staying off , just aiming to get to 175 and not gaining for a while, then try to lose weight again . I have to reset my weight end point slowly , which is hard as I am not a patient person

    5'7 here! My original goal was 140lbs which is right in the middle of a healthy BMI, but I'm 143lbs right now and think I might go down to 135lbs. No lower than that, though.

    My goal was once 147lbs but I decided to go lower after reaching 157lbs and not feeling like my body was making much of a difference :#
