    I'm 5'8" and weigh 162, I just had a baby 3 weeks ago. Goal weight is 140. I've been down to 133 but had to starve and wasn't feeling good below 137. 137-142 is thin and healthy for me.

    Congrats on the little one!
    I loved this quote and it really is true.. and helped me when i was feeling down about myself " It took 9 months for your body to make the baby, itll take 9 months for your body to go back "

    I'm 5'8" probably a little taller, and my goal is 145. I'm not sure if I can get that far down because I have a lot of muscle (I bulk up well) I just have a lot of fat too. So that's my goal, weather my body is capable of that, we will see. I want to look muscular when I loose weight, so I'm more concerned with how my body looks than my weight.

    I'm a shade under 5ft 8 and my goal is 161lbs (11.5 stone) which is bang smack in the healthy BMI range for my height. If I can get to 154 lbs (11 stone) even better but I don't want to lose the weight only to stick it back on...hence aiming for 11.5 stone as my goal and maintenance weight. I am currently 182 lbs and I started at 217lbs...just typing that has made me shudder!

    My goal is 125 which was my weight in college. I am about 145 right now but not very muscular so looking to build that and make healthier food choices.

    I'm 5'8" and over 200 lbs. So, my beginning goal weight is 165. Hopefully, once I reach that, I can go further.

    Hi -

    I would love to friend everyone on this thread! I am 5' 7.5" inches with a small frame - I think the goal weight depends on your bone structure. It's so great to be on the tall side because I noticed the taller we are, the more even we can carry our weight distribution.

    My goal weight is 130 - that is 30 lbs from where I am. That's about a size 7-8 ish? (on me - maybe even a big 6).

    The bone structure guide says if you can wrap your fingers around your wrist and

    they don't touch, you have a larger bone structure - if they just touch you have a medium bone structure - if they overlap by a whole fingernail you have a small bone structure.

    Try it - it may determine your goal weight :) Good luck and keep up the good work!!

    I'm 5'8" and weigh 170 now. My goal is to reach 150 which puts me well within the healthy range. Once I reach that, I will reevaluate to see if I need to go a bit lower.

    I still have "skinny" clothes in my closet that I want to fit into!

    I'm 5'8 My ultimate goal is 125-130. I have a small frame so more than that and I start to look chubby. I'm at 150 right now. The lowest i have been is 135 Which was nice but i would like to go lower. If i manage to lose 2 pounds a week i can have this off in 12 weeks or by spring.

    Wow, don't I feel lazy! lol. I'm about 5' 7"-ish, and my goal weight is around 180. That may change as I get closer to my goal, but for now that seems realistic and healthy to me.

    I'm 5'10 and my goal is 210lb, I know this is a couple of stones over my so called 'ideal weight', but at 12.st 7 I was far too thin. When I get to 210 I'll reassess and take it from there.

    I'm 5 foot 5 inches and wiegh 210. My comfort weight is 149 pounds. That is the hightest a doctor would let me go.in the past. At that weight in high school and college I wore a size 8/10 and looked great. No one could ever guess my weight. I was also extremely active. So I have another 56 pounds to go. The MFP says for my height I should be no more than 145 pounds. After having a child and doing the yo-yo diets, I will be happy at 155. I have to take into consideration stomach flesh and thighs as I loose. But, I have to get under 160 pounds.
