    I don't stress the scales. My results and feel good body is in progress so that's what matters.

    I don't really have a goal weight, in terms of a set number. MY goal weight is getting below the "overweight" index category, and then losing until I'm happy with my body fat amount/distribution, which is mostly based on aesthetics for me.

    I don't have a goal weight, at the moment everything is about my performance in the gym. I will do a cut a bit later in the year - but not yet :p

    I don't have a goal weight. I have way too much awesomeness to do in life to even think about some number on a scale.

    On paper I have one. In reality, I'll know when I know! My BMI is 23.9 but my bf% is on the high side of normal so I'm thinking lose a few more lbs of fat and doing a slow recomp. I'm more concerned with feeling comfortable and fit.

    Not really a long term weight goal. I'm sticking with smaller short term goals. After each goal I kinda know what the next one will be, but I'm not thinking about winning the war, just the next battle!

    I have another 3lbs to reach pre-first-pregnancy weight. Then another 7lbs to reach the weight I was after my second pregnancy when me and baby were sick. Then another 7lbs to the weight when I moved in with my husband. 7lbs after that will bring be to "healthy BMI" range. Then another 7lbs takes me to the weight I was before I stopped smoking. My goals are flexible and forever changing with no definite goal weight at the end.

    For my height and build a healthy weight is between 150 to 155lbs. Last weigh in on Friday shows I am @ 161lbs. So I am very close. I have started the strong lifts 5x5 program last week so now I am more focused on building lean muscle & not all that concerned about weight. I do however want to lose the lingering belly fat & then I will be happy... :)

    I only have a vague idea of what scale range is my goal weight, 135-140 lbs. But I'm not stressed at all about meeting any particular goal. Right now I just focus on how I feel and how my clothes fit.

    No real goal weight, just goal physique.

    According to the BMI charts and strictly height and weight, I will be overweight instead of obese at 174. So, that is my first goal weight.

    No firm goal weight here. I'm 5'4" and last time on this carousel I got as low as 135. That was too low - turned out to be impossible for me to maintain. Now I'm focusing on healthy intake and a good level of activity and not sweating the numbers on the scale. I suspect I'll be happy with how I look and feel around 145, which would put me at the very top of the "healthy" BMI range, but I don't really care about either weight or BMI.

    Yesterday, I learned that my mom had the dress I wore to my sister's wedding in 2001. I was at a good weight then, but don't remember the exact number. Am curious to see what I will weigh when I can fit into it again. I'm guessing I need to drop 20 pounds for that.
