    Ha! You did grow!

    My goal is set to 145 but really it's to lose as body fat as it takes to actually be happy with my thighs. Not sure at what weight that'll happen.

    wow! I wonder if i'm actually taller than I say I am, I've been saying 5'7" for years haha.

    My goal is around 135, but I'll probably not even go that low...I'm pretty curvy, I don't have a small frame like you! But you look great, I say at this point, just maintain!

    Btw, did you ever talk to the BF's ex girlfriend about MFP!? I kept meaning to follow up with that!

    Hey tall girls! I'd LOVE to get down to about 135-140....IF my body looks good like that! Husband says he wouldn't like it, but I think he'll change his mind ;) My only worry is if my boobs will look disproportionate!

    The "healthy" BMI range for someone your height (5 8 1/2) is 123.5 - 166.9. That's quite a range, huh? I'm 5 foot 8 inches. I just want to get INTO the healthy BMI category! I'm shooting for somewhere between 160 and 165. I was there 14 years ago and felt great!

    This topic makes me the happiest ever. 5'8.5 is the best height ever, amirite?

    But seriously, my goal weight is 145. I think I'll probably want to knock off another 5 lbs once I get there, whatever it takes to get to 19-22% body fat. :)

    I'd love to get to 135. I started at 150 and weighed in at 148 this morning. I was around 127-130 before I had my son 12yrs ago and i was too thin in my opinion but about 135 would be just right and thats if I tone up too, thats the worst part!!

    I'm right at 5'8"

    I am 5'9 and I am aiming for 150, I had a baby back in January and am about 37lbs away from that 150 goal. I think 150 will be good for me as I have more of a pear shaped curvy frame and I don't want to lose my curves.

    You might find thi information in this link helpful too. Since you know what your body fat % is, it helps to figure out what a realistic weight would be. No reason to lose muscle! It's the FAT that we want to get rid of!

    Mine was 127 and I hit it!

    Now i just need to hit the gym more to build some muscle tone.

    I think it depends on the person's build. I am a small slender frame.

    I would love to get to 130, but I'd be thrilled/ecstatic to go a little lower than that. 130 is the base goal right now, though-- I'm currently 140 lbs. at 5'9", so 10 lbs to go!

    Hey!! I'm 5'8.5'' and my current goal is in the middle of the healthy bmi range at 146 pounds. I'll probably drop down to 135 but I'm more worried about muscle tone!

    My goal weight right now is 150 (I'm 7 lbs away), but I think I want to get down to 140. And who knows after that, I'm just going by how I look and feel. I've got pretty wide hips so I don't know how I would look at 130.

    I'm the same height as you, aiming for 140. I'll never be able to maintain any lower (having previously been 129)

    I just want to get to 139 to say I lost half my weight from pregnancy, haha. Really, I wouldn't mind being 140-145 as long as I'm toned. The picture in my profile in the red sweatshirt is 140. I think it's a decent weight for me as I have huge hips.

    I'm 5'8" and I'm only going for 155-160. I'm happy there, otherwise I feel like a stick.

    I started at 220

    Goal is 140-145ish.. I havent' weighed that since High School which was in 1992. If I reach it I'll pass out.

    I'm 5'8" and went from 156 to 131 but I think I want to aim for 125ish. I pretty much just want to lose a little more in my thighs and stomach and I'll be happy (although I already am!)

    I'm 5'8/5'9(I don't really know!) and currently my goal weight is 150.. my ultimate goal weight is 140. My range though is from 169-125.. and I don't think I could ever get to 125 with out looking like a stick.

    I'm 5'8" and my goal is 160. Anything less, and I'm afraid it'll be a major pain to maintain. It's still a healthy weight, and I have a large frame, so it works. Plus, I got close to this one time and was pretty happy.

    I'm 5'8" and my goal is 140 lbs. I was that weight before and it suited me, but if I get to a healthy weight again at all I'll be happy, even if it is higher or lower than my goal.

    I'm exactly 5'8.5" and right now I'm 150. I was 162 about 2 weeks ago though so yay!
    My ultimate goal is 135 though I'll be happy to be 145 in the short term.

    I'm exactly 5'8.5'' too! I'm glad I foung this because I was wondering what others' goal weight were!

    I'm glad everyone has given examples based on frame size too! :)

    For now my goal is just to lose, I'll know my UGW when I get there I guess. haha
