    Honestly If I were your weight that would be great. I am 5ft 7 and I dont want to go under 165-170. I am busty with wide hips. ANything under that makes me look hungry

    I agree :)

    I started at 215 and like many others,my goal weight is 150. I have a large frame so if I go anything below that I might look weird, but I guess I'll have to re-evaluate once i get closer to my goal.

    I'm so used to being the tall one (even though 5ft8 is not that tall :P) and it's so nice to see other girls that are my height :)

    Aim low girlies!!! I'm 5'7 1/2 and 126ish. 120 is too skinny but between there and 130 is a perfect healthy weight for me. Visible muscle tone, no boneyness. An athletic look, which I think is the sexiest.

    I'm 5'7 and i wanna be around 145-150. I think that's a healthy weight for my height. I just want to be the same size i was when I got married 4 years ago!

    I am aiming for 140 right now, but will re-evaluate as I get there. I have been that low before, but wasn't working out at the time. So, I am not sure how being more toned and in shape might change that bottom number.

    I'm 5'8.5" and my ultimate goal is around 130. I've gotten down to 140 before and still felt like I needed to lose a bit more weight. I have a pretty small build though, even if it is hidden by some fat (for now) :wink:

    5'8" and I would be very happy at 155. That's what I was at my top form as a fitness instructor ( pre kids). I got down to 145 once and looked sick, because I lost my boobs and butt almost completely:( Don't want to lose the girls again, lol.

    I origionally said 165 (but I was 390)..still at 205-207 depending on the scale...but I think I can be 150 and be super happy there..Mind you I'm super happy to be 205 from 390 but I can see the end goal now and I want to be that size 8-10

    I'm 5'8" and my goal (before I got pregnant ;) lol) was to be at 165. I hit 170 and felt pretty good.
    Now at just about 3 months into my pregnancy I'm about 176...hoping to only gain 20-25 and be able to lose it afterward!

    I'm 5'7 and weigh 137, trying to get down to 125-130 - per my doctor's suggestion. I know people have different body shapes and preferences on how they look but what is your waist circumference when you're at a higher weight? I know BMI isn't always the best calculation (especially for muscular men) but its pretty standard that your waist circumference should be under 35 inches for women. At the different weights mentioned are you still under 35 inches?

    5'8, small frame 140 lbs trying to get back to 130-135 that I was 2 years ago. Absolute ideal is 129 b/c that's a BMI of 19.5. It's like .99 cents, it just looks sooooooo much better than $1! :happy:

    5'7.5" and I'm currently oscillating between 147 and 150. I'm actually okay in the 140s. I get pissed off when I hit 150.

    My goal weight is 139/140 but realistically I'm healthy and happy at the weight I'm at so I'm just going to keep counting calories and working out and living this lifestyle because I'm happy doing it.

    I hope I'm not stepping on toes however, 89 pounds and 1 post sounds trollish.

    I started out at 195 lbs and my goal was 135 lbs. I did reach that and actually got down to 132 lbs but then we had a horrible thing happen in my family and my weight has gone back up a bit. But I would love to get back to 132 lbs, so that is my main goal!!!

    It's suitable for an anorexic, yeah. I'm actually not a troll. I understand that my goal weight is unreasonable but I am just being honest. I've been hospitalized four times for my eating disorder and am fully aware of what I am doing.

    Diskko - You keep this up you aren't going to be around very long. Don't you care about your family and friends? I mean what do you think you are doing to them? I hate seeing people giving up, that seems to be what you are doing. Please get help and take their advice.

    hi I am 5ft 8ins,
    Over the last 20 years I have been anything from 130lbs (too skinny for me) to 198 lbs (way too heavy for me)
    I would like to be anything from 140 to 147. Currently I am 168. I am med/large frame with large thighs!

    5'9" and aiming for 130lbs - I would consider myself to have quite a small frame. Once I get to 140lbs though I might change my mind...who knows, I've got a way to go yet lol!!

    I'm 5'9". My goal is 140, although I will reevaluate once I'm down to about 155.

    My freshman year of college I was 140 and that was super skinny for me. (I am somewhere between 5'8" and 5'9") my current goal is 160. Then I figure I will look in the mirror and make a call, I may go to 150, but no less than that.
