    2007 - heaviest weight 307 (maybe more)
    2013 - MFP start weight 262
    2015 - lowest weight (since 7th grade actually) 163-ish
    2019 - current weight 172

    I haven't had a very specific goal in mind since 180 lb back in 2014, and after achieving that I thought I would aim for 150. But when I've hit the lower 160s, I tend to start having low libido & nutritional deficiencies show up on my bloodwork. So I plan to maintain between 165-175. I have been in the 170s for years and fine with it as a permanent "goal" range.

    5'8" and 42 years old.

    Starting weight: 145
    Current weight: 127
    Goal weight: 120

    I’m 5’0”. I keep debating if I actually want to lose or just maintain. If I lose weight, I will inevitably lose some curves too.

    I don’t think I’ll be shooting for a number this go around. I have two pant sizes in mind and that’s my goal.

    I have no exact goal weight. I go by 5's and so at the moment my goal is 175.
    I am at 176 at present
    When I reach the 175 ( I hope by the end of this week) I will aim for 170
    I find it not so overwhelming to set a target that is far away ( like 50 pounds)
    I am like the turtle..slow and easy wins the race..

    By this, I mean here on MFP. I've been tracking calories since I was... 25 or so? Never get anywhere near where I'd like to be. Beginning to think it will never happen.

    If you are at a calorie deficit, you will lose weight, barring no serious medical issues standing in your way.

    Are you using a food scale?

    Yes, I tend to agree with you..when I pay attention to the calories ( using a food scale ), get in some cardio ( walking at least 30 minutes non-stop) and see a deficit..I DO LOSE THE POUNDS. However, one must be consistent.

    Start weight 333
    Currently 278
    Goal 200

    Perhaps even under 200 but we'll cross that bridge if we get to it

    Starting weight: 127 lbs
    Goal weight: 200 lbs
    Highest weight: 246 lbs
    Current weight: 229 lbs

    Original goal was to gain weight due to being underweight, went a little overboard on the bulking/lifting. Now every time I lose weight I end up putting it back on quickly due to stress. Goal now would be 190 lbs

    I started at 86.6 kg at the start of this year. Based on BMI I set my goal weight to be 50 kg.

    When I hit 20 kg lost earlier this year, I decided that I would consider revisiting my goal weight when I got to 56 or 55kg. About a month or two ago I started slowing down my weight loss in preparation for maintenance.

    I am now 55kg and have decided that when I hit 54 kg I will stop losing and go to maintenance.
