    5'11. I have a near-term goal of 165, and then I'm going to assess from there. I'm thinking ultimate goal of 150, but I'm not positive. I have a heck of a lot more muscle than the last time I weighed 150, so I'm not sure if I want to go that low.

    I'm 5'10" Maybe 160? I'm in my late 40s and I've had a couple of kids. I don't have an expectation that I will get as thin as I was before I had kids. I just want to be a healthy weight really. :)

    I am 5'9", medium frame. I give myself a weight range, a 5 pound window so to speak. This morning the scale said 156. I look lean and fit.

    I'm 5'11", I'm aiming to get under 179 but I don't have a definite final goal yet.

    I'm 5'10" and 188 pounds. You can see what that looks like on my profile pic. My ultimate goal is 174 so I can say I am at normal BMI, but I am struggling to stick to a deficit at the moment and have been maintaining my weight for the last 5-6 weeks.

    I didn't realize I hit maintenance until a few weeks passed. I'm maintaining 188 with MFP set for 1/2 lb lost per week plus the majority of my Fitbit calories (set to dominant hand, worn on non-dominant, was accurate in the past going by data/loss rate). I weigh everything and am a meticulous logger. I set my calorie goal to 2 pounds per week as of today (assuming that Fitbit cals really mean 1.5 or 1 lb per week since I will continue eating them). For today, with 8.5k steps so far and no real exercise, that puts my goal at about 1,600.

    I'm 5'11'' and currently 145lbs. I'm aiming for 140, then will switch to maintenance for a goal range of 140-145.

    6'0", my goal has always been 168 since that will be a total loss of 200lbs. Seeing everyone else having so much lower goals makes me wonder if I'll be happy at that weight whenever I make it there.

    Hi there! I'm 5'10" and currently at 158 after losing 53 lbs. My first goal was 180, then I revised down to 165. Now I'm shooting for 155, but taking it very slowly as I think 155-160 is probably about right for me. I actually have my calories set at maintenance now because I was training for a half marathon and needed to take a bit of a break. I want to work on strength now too. I can't even believe I've made it into the 150's. I don't think I've been there since my early teens.

    I'm 5'10" and currently 141. My end goal is 128, but my next "mini-goal" is 135. The hope is to hit 135 by Thanksgiving.

    I'm just under 5'10. Started at 284. Currently 190. My next mini goal is 170. Will evaluate then - have been weight training to build muscle, too, and I already am looking much more slim!

    5'10" and I am currently about 185. When I was skinny fat I was 150. I guess 160 is realistic if I want to be slim with some muscle. My calories are set at 1350 but that seems a little aggressive.

    5'9" here, was 5'11" at 13 so it averages out, right? I'm at 166, down from 270 and waffling daily about an ultimate goal between 165 - 155.

    My tolerance for further deprivation has dropped to nearly nil. I'm getting an average of 14,500 steps a day, and losing at about 0.5 lb/week on 1850 calories.

    176 cm (5 foot 9 and a half)
    61.5 kg (135.5 lbs)
    Age 49
    Started at 98.9 kg.

    My first goal weight was 75 kg, but after I got there, I'd fallen in love with running, and things were still bouncing and weighing me down, so I kept going till I was at "Runner's BMI" (20).

    Been maintaining since April, and very healthy and happy, and have run 3 half marathons since June.
