    I originally said 125 but I am beginning to think 130-135 :)

    I'm nearer to 5'7", but I'm aiming for 120. Anything below that is a bonus!

    Below 120 you would be considered underweight.

    I'd be comfortable at 150, anything lower will be a bonus!!!

    120/125

    Minimum weight is 150. Ultimate is 135..maybe even 130. Depends where I feel comfortable. What's your goal?

    Before my 6 year old was born I was 135 and VERY HAPPY!!! After she was born I had two more boys back to back and I ballooned up 245lbs by 4/09. At that point I had enough and worked my butt off 3 times a day, 6 days a week and lost 90lbs (155lbs) by November. At that point I was totally burned out on exercising and I slowly went back to my old ways. So here I am today just redoing all my hard work. (FACE/PALM) This time WILL be different. I don't plan to work as hard and if by chance I start to become burned out I WILL go into maintenance mode and NOT quit!!!

    My current goal is 155lbs, the weight I was at whenI quit on myself. Once I get there and see how I look and feel about it I may try for somewhere between 145 - 135.

    I'm 5' 5.5" - close enough ? hee hee

    I started this, my final journey, 2 years ago at 181lbs. I had been that
    weight most of my adult married life with the exception of a few short term
    fad diets where I lost some, only to gain it back. I was a confortable size 14.

    When I joined the gym and sat down with a trainer to discuss my goals,
    I decided on shooting for 150lbs and re-evaluating once I got there cuz for me,
    in the end it's not about the number on the scale, but how I feel about the image
    I see in the mirror. At age 42 with an hour glass figure, I worry more now about
    shrinking my inner thighs, reducing the "back fat", and doing away with my
    love handles than attaining a certain number on the scale.

    At 155lbs and size 10, I will revaluate at 5 lbs incremants. I can't imagine weighing
    any less than 140lbs, but it all depends on how I feel and how I look.

    My goal is 135lbs. Right now I'm at 144 and I'm okay with how I look, I just need to lose a little bit more fat and tone up my body a little bit more. I couldn't imagine being under 130lbs. That would probably be too skinny, I still want some shape ;)

    150, currently. That may change depending on how I look and feel as I get down there. The smallest I've ever been as an adult was 199, which is my next goal. :smile: I honestly have no idea what I'd look like lower than that, so it will be an adventure.

    I'm 5'6" and in high school I was 140-145 and looked pretty damn good. When I was 150 a couple years ago I liked the way I looked but still had some jiggly spots. Would love to get to 145 again and the see how I feel.

    Hi there I am 5'6.5 the half inch counts!! lol. I started out weighing 199 in January I am not 174 and my goal for the time being is to get to 160 in the next couple months but my long term goal is to weigh 130lbs :)

    Half inch totally counts. 175 is my first Major goal, 160 would be my ideal... for now

    Ideally I'd love to be around 105. I was there for about 4 years.

    When I started this journey, I thought my end goal was going to be 125. As I'm getting closer, however (I'm at 144 now), I think I may stop at 130. I don't want to go too skinny, because it may be too hard to maintain.

    150 for now and reevaulate like others have said.
    My lowest adult weight was 170 and I felt amazing! that is my first goal with 150 (high end of "normal" weight for height) as my actual goal. 130s sounds like a fantasy, i can't even imagine! but who knows, if I get on a roll, I might just decide I can actually get there : )

    I am 5'6" and my goal right now is 150. I started at 175 in April and was 161 yesterday morning. I was 140-145 in highschool and was an athlete... would love to get there again, but will see once I hit 150!! Right now I am in size 10's and feeling pretty comfortable compared to where I was a few months ago!

    Last time I weighed myself I was 160. Right now I am the skinniest I have been since grade school! So I'm not sure what a comfortable weight feels like in my adult body.

    I've been trading a lot of fat for muscle doing Insanity and P90X. When I noticed that the scale wasn't moving like I thought it should, but I was having to buy smaller clothing, I decided not to weigh myself anymore until I hit a point where I could look at my body and say, "yes, this is how I want to look." And then whatever that weight is will be my goal weight to maintain. Until then, I am going to use how my clothing as a gage for my weight loss.

    I'm 5' 6.5" and aiming for 130-5-ish, but mostly just want to get my BMI well out of the overweight zone, weight down to at least the mid-140s before I level off. I'm about a size 10 at 156, so that would put me at least at an 8, maybe 6? I'm not holding my breath for a specific size, I'm just grateful to be able to shop in normal stores again without the fear that there will be nothing my size on the racks.

    I'm 52, so I'm approaching my diet and exercise plan as a long-term lifestyle change, not a temporary phase, so I will have to re-evaluate goals depending on how the next 10 pounds go. I spent most of my adult life in the 125-135 range, including after babies, and didn't start major gain until about 6 years ago, so I'm hopeful.

    HW: 188
    CW: 156
    GW: 130?

    I'm a little over 5' 5 I am almost fifty and realistic so If I can get to 150 and fit I will be happy. I don't care about the BMI they say online because I know I have no health problems and getting tone and fit.

    140 would be an ultimate goal for me

    Minimum weight is 150. Ultimate is 135..maybe even 130. Depends where I feel comfortable. What's your goal?
