    I am currently 304 and am aiming for 168 as I have always been large and have never known what it is like to be normal weight so will get down to there and see.

    I'm 5'7" ish and I was shooting for 160 but now that I'm 185 I think I'm going to go more for 150. Ultimately I'm more concerned with body composition than weight though so any weight that isn't flabby is good with me :)

    I am just shy of 5'8" and started at 175 with a goal weight of 145. I am pear shaped and currently 148 and a size 6/8. Anything 140 and below makes me look too skinny.

    I'm just under 5' 8" and my ideal weight is 125-130. I'm currently at 135. I'm pretty slimly (and boyishly) built so over 140 and I have a pronounced "spare tire".

    I'm 5'8" and currently weigh 137. I started on MFP at about 155. My lowest weight has been 135. I thought my ideal/goal weight would be 130, but my body is telling me otherwise. I really think I'm at my ideal weight right now and I'm working on maintaining and building more muscle and lowering my BF%. Best of luck. I truly think that your ideal weight is what you and your body feel comfortable with.

    My initial goal is 165. After I get there I will decide if I want to try to go lower.

    11 years ago I averaged 155 or so, and I was pretty thin. I, at one point, weighed 145 - that was really thin for me. I have broad shoulders and hips, and even at 150 wore a size 12 pants.

    I am just over 5'8" and cw is 165. I would like to hit and maintain 150. Ideally I'd like to maintain 145, however I don't have a particularly small frame. I have a fairly muscular build and it is difficult for me to maintain that weight.

    I am 5'8" and 41 years old. Age definitely plays a role in my weight. I won't ever be my weight at age 21 yrs old again.

    I started this weight loss journey 3.5 weeks ago at 200lbs. I have lost 7lbs in this past 3.5 weeks. Darn Christmas!

    My goal weight is 150lbs. I would be so happy and slender at that weight. Plus I could maintain that weight which is the ultimate goal.

    Thanks for all the replies! Youve definately given me a clearer view of what my goal should be..
    and thats to take it one step at a time.. ill aim for 160, then 150.. then 140...
    Im all about feeling strong and healthy, not about being rake thin and weak, so i think ill keep goin with what im doing,
    which is work out (cardio and light weights and running) and trying to eat less and more healthy!

    Good luck to everyone ;)

    I am 5'8" and I put my goal weight as 130lbs. Before I got heavy I weighed 145lbs and I remember thinking I should lose at least 10lbs. But after seeing other peoples posts I am wondering...is that too low?

    i'm a closer to 5'9" and just hit my goal weight of 150 TODAY!!!

    but now i'm thinking i would like to get to about 140 or 145.

    I'm a size 8, but my pants are a little tight, so it would be nice to be comfortable in a size 8!

    Im 5'8" and I started at 196lbs and I am currently at 163lbs. My first goal was 165lbs but now I want to get down to 156lbs. That would be a 40lb loss and I think I would be the most comfortable at 156lbs. We will see when I get there!! :wink:

    I'm 5'8", started at 178. my first goal was 155, and I recently hit that and decided to keep going. i think the mini-goals helped me. my goal is between 135-140, but I'll stop once I get to the BF% that's im comfortable with. just have to maintain the diet for that!

    I'm 5'8" and my goal is 160 only because that gets me right inside the normal BMI range. My lowest adult weight that I remember was 180 when I was in my mid-20s, and I liked the way I looked and felt great at that weight, although my face looked too thin in pictures. I wasn't exercising then like I am now, so I should probably get a BF% done when I get closer to goal. I guess that makes a difference, too? According to the CDC's BMI calculator, 122-164 is a normal range for 5'8". I would look sick at 122, and not in a good way! :smile:
