    I'm 5'9, right now I weigh 160, my ultimate goal is around 135. I feel like it's hard to truly judge how much it should be, but around 130-140 is probably healthiest for me.

    I'm 5'8'' tall. My current weight is 250, and I'd like to be down to 175. I have a very large frame, so anything below 160 or so looks very unhealthy on me.

    Same with me, I am 5'6.75 and I currently weigh 194 (SW 208). I have pics of myself at 179 and I look great. My goal is 157 but I think if I start to look unhealthy I will stop at 165 or so.

    I also have a very large frame. I'm 5'7 and weigh 288 pounds. My goal for now is to get down to 198 pounds. 176 pounds is possible for my frame but anything under that and I am deemed unhealthy (my doctor's words).

    We can do this! ^^

    I'm 5' 9" and my goal weight is between 140 - 147. Great to be able to see what others have as goals too! Good luck all! : )

    Think that is a good idea. I have a very large frame as well. I was 250 and I am now 199. My doctor said because of my height and large frame I only need to lose about another 10 pounds (189) to be good. I am shooting for 175 as my goal.

    I'm 5'8" and would love to be 140lbs but have only managed it once in my life and not for very long so I think 150lb sounds more achievable and more importantly something I could maintain without suffering!

    I'm 5'7 with a medium build. I started at 225 and am now 173. I haven't been anywhere near my current weight in about 20 years so I've set my goal for now at 155. I just have no idea how the older me will look at that weight so once I get in that range I'll have to re-assess. Dear hubby says he would like me to still have a bit of "substance" to hug though. LOL :wink:

    I am just over 5'9" and my current goal is 160. I have a muscular frame so my weight is always a little higher then it looks like. I think that my final weight goal may be 155.

    i agree!

    If you are 5'8" this is NOT a healthy goal. This would give you a BMI of 17.6 which would put you at the bottom of underweight category (borderline anorexia). A healthy BMI range is 18.5-25. When females fall into the 'underweight category' the are at risk of some serious effects, some of which can affect their ability to have children. Please, I urge you to rethink about your goals.

    Thank you for your concern. I just want to feel "right", you know? I think that my goal weight is just a rough estimate. I'll stop losing when I feel healthy and at my optimum fitness. I might end up putting some weight on when I reach goal too as I'd like to put on some muscle eventually. I don't want to be "guy muscled" of course lol but toned.

    Im 5.8 and currently 250 so I'm aiming for 170. I haven't been 170 for as long as I can remember so once I get there I will see what suits me. I don't know what type of 'frame' I am. I am quite muscular from kickboxing so once I get to 170 I will concentrate most on my body fat percentage being low.

    Started at 180, got to my goal weight of 150 and I'm not happy. So I'm shooting for 140 now :) And maybe 130 after that. I'm 5'8.

    5'8", large frame, and I've never "looked my weight" My first goal is 160, will see how I wear that before continuing to 150. Currently weigh 250.

    I am5'8 with an initial goal weight of 150 and then I am going to reexamine goal to see if I am happy at that weight or want to lose some more. My lowest weight was in my twenties at 135 but after two babies and no win my 40's not sure that is attainable anymore.
