    I'm 5"8 and goal weight is 143lbs, currently 148-150lbs. I got down to my GW last year, and admittedly it took all of my strength and will power to stay there. Staying at the weight i am now is pretty effortless, so if i get back down to 143, good, and if i don't I'm fine with that too.

    I'm 5'3 and my goal is 135-125. I've never actually reached 125lbs but I felt confident at 135. Biggest was 190 and I've been back and forth. This year and a half I've been at a steady healthy weight but I just have vanity lbs to lose now and that's what made me start this app bc I've learned how to eat healthy already I just needed to know exactly where I was going wrong for the home stretch!

    5'9" here 60 y.o. Grandma here. I'm hovering between 144 and a high of 148 if I carb load.

    I'm down over 60 pounds since July30, 2015. I wanted to get to 140 just for round numbers but I get stalled at 141 and change..... It's unsustainable for me. I've been struggling to stay down there since mid April. I'm coming to the realization that 148 will have to be my upper limit and anything below that is a bonus.

    At that weight, I'm pretty happy with how I look in my clothes and can wear just about anything comfortably. I'm in a size small top and either 6 or 8 pants, depending on the style.

    If I try to get lower, I'm hungry, cranky and lack energy. It's not worth the misery for myself or my husband. ;)

    Starting weight 245
    Current weight 195
    Goal weight 190. I might drop to 185 but I'm pretty happy with how I look now - and all my clothes fit me!

    I'm 36 years old, 5'7", highest non pregnant weight was 216, currently 144. My goal range is 138-145 (middle of "normal" per bmi). Right now I'm working on regaining some of the strength and muscle I've lost over the years, so I expect to gain a bit, then I'll cut again. Honestly I'm not so much worried about the number on the scale; I've been within my goal range for some time now... I look good in clothes, now I'm shooting for looking good nekkid :D

    I'm 5'7 I want to get down to 180lbs, that being said I generally have a lot of muscle mass and intend to gain more to replace the fat. So at 180lbs I will be a size 4-6.

    I'm 5'6" and weighing 239 my highest was 273. Right now I think my goal weight will be around 165 as I have a lot of muscle on me :)

    I'm 148cm tall (4'10"). I started out at about 56-57kg (123-126lbs; the reason for the inexactness is that I didn't own a scale then, haha), and have got down to 53kg (117lbs) so far. The "goal weight" I've set in my profile is 45kg (99lbs), which would make a BMI of 20, but I'd be pretty happy to stabilise a bit higher so long as I can fit my thighs into (Aus) size 8 pants :wink:

    I am 6'5" with a goal weight of 170. I've made it to 179, but my binge eating disorder kicked in and I gained back 50 pounds to 230. I am now down to 217, so I will get there this time since I am on medication to control the binges. I was about 185 in my profile picture.

    5'5.5" Heaviest weight ever was around 245 in 2014. Starting weight on MFP was 222 on July 25 2016. Current weight 210. First goal is 180, which was my weight about 10 years ago and I felt great. Once I get to 180 I will evaluate where I am size-wise and muscle-wise. My ultimate goal would probably be 150. It sounds heavy for my height but I have a LOT of muscle at 44 years old that I did not have at 18 years old and 125 lbs. If I got to 125 with my current muscle mass, Sally Struthers would probably feel compelled to start some kind of charity campaign for me!

    Can I help you with the binge eating in any fashion? Answer questions or offer support?

    I'm 6'0" and my ultimate goal weight is 188, though right now I'm setting smaller goals which should be easier to follow [currently aiming for 250 pounds].

    I'm 5'7.5" and my goal weight is 135-140. But I'm trying to focus more on the mirror because I've built a lot of muscle and look vastly different than I did when I started my journey. Before I had kids, I was 127, which was the very bottom of healthy weight range. For me that seems unachievable and unrealistic to maintain. Also, I had no muscle mass then. I have about the same percentage of body fat now as I did then, with 14 more lbs of muscle on my frame now than I did before kids. I don't want to lose that muscle either. So I'll mostly go by the mirror although it would be nice to lose 15-20 more lbs (currently sitting at 157).

    I'm 5'10 and my goal is 140. I also get the "too skinny" comments but I am still a healthy BMI and feel good.

    I'm 5'5" tall and my initial goal was an arbitrary 163. I just wanted to lose 60 lbs. Well, I'm at 164.4 now and I've decided to lower my goal to 145-150 range...who knows if I'll be satisfied there either. I've never been thin my entire adult life, so hopefully I'll know where I'm comfortable when I get there, lol. I just have no reference point, I don't think I've been this low of a weight since grade school.

    I've been getting the skinny comments for awhile now. I'm not even close to skinny yet, but I live far away from my family so when I visit the difference is very obvious and drastic to them. We see ourselves in the mirror everyday so the changes aren't so obvious as they are to others. Loved ones will eventually get used to seeing us this way and hopefully the comments will stop.

    Good luck to everyone on all their goals!!

    I'm 5"2 (If any one of you lovely people want to send some HEIGHT my way, I'd be grateful).

    I started off at around 157 lbs. I managed to get down to around 118. This was not maintainable for me because I absolutely love food - I'm now back up to 138 lbs and hoping to lose around 7-10 pounds to feel comfortable again! :)

    5'1, my UGW is 100 lbs- currently plateauing at 104 right now (it doesn't help that I had a bunch of sweets the last week lol) but since starting MFP, my starting weight was 151. The heaviest I ever got was 161! >_<

    5'2 and my goal weight is set at 125. But I might decide I've reached my goal before then... I've added a LOT of muscle, so if at 130 I feel like I am fitting into the clothes I want, I don't know that I'll push it further. I was 122 10 years ago, before having kids, so 125 with lots of lean muscle might be asking a lot.

    I weigh 4lbs more than I did when I got married, pre kids, 16 years ago

    My wedding dress is too big for me

    Height: 5'6.5"
    SW: 182
    CW: 140
    GW: 130-133

    I hit 133 for awhile but I was exercising a lot. I cut back the exercise and have found it very easy to maintain 138-140 and eat what I want. It's just hard to get my head around not hitting those goal numbers.

    Not sure I'll make the Height goal, but I'm killing the weight one for sure!
