    I weighed 190 too--and lost about 20 pounds on Weight Watchers. Now I'm excited to do the tracking of food and exercise here for free. Good Luck! You can do it! Remember there's no finish line--and just try to be good on the days you can be good --and forgive yourself and get right back on your plan if you stumble...

    I'm 5ft 8inch and my goal weight is 140lbs. I don't want to go any lower, being pear shaped I lose weight much quicker on my face down to my waist. Any smaller and I'd look ill lol

    I am just barely under 5'8". My goal weight is 135-140. Right now I weigh about 163. I read a few of the other posts and agree I think much under that is a little too crazy.

    I'm just over 5'7" and I'd like to be in the low-mid 130's with my body fat percentage in the low 20's. Right now I'm 143 with body fat just under 30%. I was 155 at Thanksgiving though and haven't lost any muscle.

    I'm 5'8 and at my goal weight of 135...I have a small frame so ideally I would like to be 130, but right now I'm trying hard to build more muscle so I'm focusing on lifting heavier and eating clean while upping my proteins and lowering my grain carbs. Great thread, we're all so different! Have to admit that I'm hoping to be ripped for a cruise we have planned for next summer!

    Im 5"8.5 and I am 185lb at the moment. I want to get down to 158lb as that was my pre children weight. I can go down any lower than that really as I have a large build (think swimmers shoulders and you arent far off) and i start to look like a lollipop!

    161. I got to 150 once and looked terrible.

    Thank Christ there's someone else in the world that doesn't feel a need to be superskinny! I'm not this tall - Only 5'5" in fact and i'd be quite happy at 154-168, It would put me above my BMI for a "healthy" weight and I don't care.

    I'm 5'8" and my goal is somewhere between 140-145. I have a medium bone structure. I think I would look best at this weight. I guess we will have to see :) good luck girl.

    My goal weigh is 155 lbs. I'm 45 years old. Right now I wear a size 8 pant at about 160 lbs. I would like to get to a 6. I'm 5'8" tall. When I was married 22 years ago I weighed 145. After 5 kids, I'm think 155 would be great! Plus I have a larger frame.

    right at 5'8" and goal weight is 142. I really do have big bones and am back to lifting weights, last time I was at 142 I could wear mostly size 6 and even a few size 4 pants. Tops are tougher due to wide shoulders and muscular arms.

    I'm 5'7" and have a larger frame for a woman. My best weight, where I looked lean but still athletic was 135 (in high school, 30 years ago).

    My lowest weight since that time was 150 after my son was born...and I lost all of the baby weight plus a couple of pounds.

    Over the years (he's 21) I gained and ended up at my highest weight of 263 almost 3 years ago.

    My mother died suddenly in 2009, and I shed 10 lbs almost immediately because I could barely stand to look at food.

    I stayed at 253, until I joined MFP last year and am now down to 233.
