    My goal is 170 and then I'll see how I feel. I have 6 more to go! I was up to 235 and 10 years ago went on Medifast and got down to 168........but that recently crawled back up to 194. Not doing the 200s again!! My hubby gave me boobs for Christmas, so that was 3 lbs up. LOL!!! (the years of yo yo dieting took a terrible toll on them) I'm turning 55 next month, so I have a goal to look goooooood! :wink:

    My lowest weight ever was 219. I think I'd be very happy around 180, but honestly I'd be glad to get back to 219. I had had a goal of 165 in the past, but I don't know what it'd look or feel like. I have very large bones, wide hips, broad shoulders, and I have always looked like I weight less than I do-- when people have guessed my weight they usually are like 50 pounds low. So I don't think the normal BMI range would likely actually be good for me. But for now I am thinking I'd just like to get back to where I used to be and evaluate if I want to keep going from there.

    Im 5 ft 6 and im 193 (13 st 11) too now, my healthy is between 8 st 12 and 11 st 2 but 8 st 12 is way too low for me too, my lowest ive ever gone is 9 st 12 any lower and i feel too thin. My best weight where im at my healthiest is a size 12 and 10 stone. Thats my goal weight xx maybe just go with your gut and go to the higher end of your ideal bmi x but for now

    So I’m currently 193. Sense I’ve had kids I’ve always kind of sat around 170-180ish.
    My high was 220. My bmi says that I should be around 140 -150 but that seems so low to me.
    I was honestly happy around 175.
    I don’t have a goal weight I’m just going off of when I’m happy but I’m just wondering what your goal weight is?

    Also if you wanna throw in a photo of you at goal that would be helpful :)

    My goal weight is 135 since I'd like to get down to the low end of normal BMI to see if it helps my running, but I've never been below 145 and I'm usually around 150. Currently around 155 after my second pregnancy. I also tend to carry my weight in the tummy area, though, so I feel like even a few pounds makes a big difference for me.

    I think you look awesome - I would've never guessed you were around 190!

    Well shoot. You bring up a good point. I would like to be lighter to make my runs easier. That’s definitely a time when I notice the extra weight-trail running uphill 🙄
    Another reason to recommit!!

    My GW is 159, which is the golden threshold for “normal” BMI at 5’7”. I’m currently at 161, so aim to be there soon, kinda hoping it will happen by the time I visit the dietician for a follow up next week, although that’d be really humping it. Will reevaluate everything when I get there, but plan to keep going. Just need to set the next goal and keep it reasonable and not go crazy or all unrealistic.

    I agree with the other posters, OP. If anybody can pull off 193 it's you! You wear it well. I would NOT look that hot. Not even close. Lucky!!!

    If that pic is any indication, you're probably going to look good at most weight ranges, and you won't need to go as low as some others of your height, so it's hard to know what your goal should be. Set modest goals to begin with, make adjustments as you go, and then stop when you look and feel healthy and confident.

    Don't worry about a specific number. <3

    it's incredible how different we all look at different weights at this height, isn't it? i'd NEVER think you're at the weight you're at - you look super!

    i carried my weight predominantly in my midsection when i was 150. when i lost 20 lbs, i did lose the majority of fluffy tummy - but still have a bit there. i'm fine with it though :). i'm currently 132 . this is a recent photo.knx2po1iycak.jpg

    It all depends on my body composition. Right now my goal is 132-135lbs (my current profile photo). I'm hoping in the future I can build more muscle and sit at a higher weight, would love to be 140.

    I'm not 100% sure. Anywhere between 120 and 160. I decided once I get to 160 I will reevaluate. My lowest weight ever at this height (when I was 16) was 160. I was involved in many sports and did a lot of strength training then, but still had a little extra chub so I think my ideal weight would be 10-20 pounds less than that. But if I don't have the same muscle mass, then I would want to get my weight lower.

    I tried to find a picture of me at 160, but I couldn't find any body shots. This is me a bit heavier, 175. But oh how I wish I was that size again! I thought I was huge!ikgrr5a6s9jh.jpg
