    Depends on your frame and how big boned you are. I would look sick if I weighed anything less than 155 (trust me I've done it before) but that's because my bone density is ridiulous and I have big boobs. At 155 I was still a 34 DD. Sooo my goal weight is to be at 155 and gain about 5-10 lbs of rock hard muscle!

    I am 5' 8 1/2". At goal now 135-138. I used to think I had a large frame, but now realize it's medium size "frame.". Sizes -- 6 or 8. Wanted to be a 4, but my face looked older and drawn at 130-131. Think a size 6 is fine!

    I am 5'4 I'd like to be about 122 however ; I am more concerned with being lean than seeing any number. I would be happy @ 135 if I were cut and lean.

    I'm 5'8" and 162lbs my goal is 150lbs. I was going to change my goal to 145lbs but, since I've been using weights most of my clothes that I wore when I was 150lbs I can fit again. That's because I've lost inches. :smile:

    I'm aiming for 145-140 as of right now. I feel like it is hard to judge until you get closer though, depending on muscle mass, body shape, etc!

    This is a great topic.
    I'm 5'8 cw 174. I've set my gw at 150 b/c after having 2 kids my body isn't shaped the same as it was in HS when I was 138. But once I reach my gw I might decide to go lower depending on how the new body looks. :-)

    I'm 5'9". Healthiest I've been: 145. Smallest I've been: 135 (looked a little too bony). Biggest I've been: 250 (right after I gave birth to my daughter). Now: 190, and my goal is to first get to 160 for my first goal, then to get to 145 again.

    Being a little taller definitely helps the weight distribute more, though!

    I'm 5'8 and my goal weight is 145. I got down to 135 at one point, but I couldn't maintain. I'm currently 158.

    I'm 21yrs old, 5'8 and 152 at the moment. I think I have a medium-ish frame, hour-glass with big boobs (32F). My heaviest has been around the 158mark and lowest I've been before was a comfortable UK size10 (I didnt own a weighing scales at the time) and since getting a weighing scales lowest I have been was about 142 but I'd like to get to 140 and then see from there whether to go to 135.

    I want to keep curves but toning up is my big problem. I'm a UK size 12 but would like to be a comfortable UK 10, I know with my frame I will never be an 8 because even at age 13-14 I was 5'6 and skinny but a 10. So I think in US sizing I'm a 10 at the moment but want to be an 8 (and will never manage a 6!)

    I'm 5'8" and I started at 250lbs, and working to 150lbs. I have to be honest though if I got to 157-160 and I was lean, my body fat was around 20% then I'd be happy and say enough is enough. I'm currently at 172lbs, so my next target is 170. And i'll carry on working down in 5lb incruments :)

    I'm 5'8" with a big-ish frame. Start weight last year was 214, got down to 186 last year, then met my boyfriend... oops! Back on it now with a start weight of 203 and am aiming for 154-147ish, but it's been so long since I've been that weight I may change my mind when I get there! I think any less than 10 stone will look unhealthy on me.

    Good luck though :)

    I'm 5'8 and started at 146. Currently I'm 125-126, but I'd quite like to be 120. I'm not sure if that's realistic, so I'm not focussing on the numbers much at the moment, but rather on my measurements and on getting some proper strength training in. I'd rather build muscle and have less body fat than lose the weight, to be honest.

    I'm officially 5'7 3/4", but my goal weight is 135. I started out around 200, & am 157.6 as of today. I still have a LOT of fat on my arms...they barely look different to me than 40 lbs ago, & have fat on my stomach I want to get rid of. People keep telling me I probably can't lose 23 more lbs, which I guess is possible since I have lots of muscle & am trying to build more, so I will just see how I look when I get closer.

    I am 5' 6 1/2" and I reached my goal of 135 I am trying have a low body fat level now.. currently around 21% . Would like it be 19-20% and I would not care if my weight changed. I have always been heavier then I looked and I shrunk a couple inches because my spine is curved from teenage malnutrition . I used to be 5' 8" and weighed around 170 pounds

    I'm 5'8 and have a goal of 138 (but it has to be muscular, not flabby) so we'll see what happens. anyone else who is close to that should add me... it's easier to support people who have the same goal :)

    I'm also doing turbo fire and eating a low carb diet

    I would always suggest the middle lower end of the BMI range for healthy adults: between 126 and 135 - depending of your body fat percentages and lean body mass.

    I am not one of those scale deists; body fat is a much more telling measurement.
