    Here is a question for you gals, based on our height, what is your ideal goal weight?

    I'm 5'6'' and my goal was to lose 30 pounds. Can't remember every being 135 so I may stop before then if I start looking too thin because I have a bigger frame. You can totally do this!

    I'm 5'5" and 3/4 so I'm basically 5'6"

    I'd like to lose 40 to start with.. and maybe another 10. We'll see how it goes when I get there. Let's be friends!

    Mine is 125. That's how much I weighed in high school but back then I was "skinny fat" so this time I want to be more toned. It's just a bench mark though, really I just want to get back into a (US) size 2. It's only been a couple years so I think it's a pretty reasonable goal for me. Though my current goal is 135 because it's reasonable for the amount of time that I have until my birthday and that's when my first goal date is.

    I'm 5"6. Currently weigh 192 (was 197 so lost 5 lb - a start!) I'm aiming for 150 lb. Would be fabulous to make that by next August, but at my current slow rate, that is unlikely. Please do add me - perhaps it will help us both!

    I'm 5' 6.5" (I list 5' 7") and I want to lose 50--is that close enough? I'm at 190.5 right now (having lost about 12 pounds in the last 6 weeks).

    We should make a group for all people who want to lose this much and we could post weighins and tips etc each week,

    Ive not made a group on mfp yet, does anyone know how to make one?
