For those of you around the same height and age what is your weight goal? It's definitely not 115 lbs anymore like what I weighed when I was 24 years old.

    I'm 5'2" and 34... my ultimate goal is probably around 140, although I'm not focusing too much on a scale number because I'm hopinh to be doing some fairly significant lifting by then and that will result in a way different number than just dieting would.

    I'm pretty much aiming for size 7/8 (I had reached size 9 three years ago and that was "almost there")

    I'm 47 yrs old.. am 5' 2" and am aiming for the high end of my healthy BMR range = between 121 and 129... we'll see when I get there. I do not have a tiny frame - I think I'm more large framed, good luck! I still have 15 lbs to go for the 129 goal so we'll see!!

    I am going to be 37 tomorrow and i am 5'5". My long term goal is to weigh 140 or less, but my short term goal is to weigh 250 by valentines day so I have one week and about three pounds to go.

    I'm 5'1.5'' and 19 years old.
    My goal was 130lbs, tho I've seen people taller than me aim lower.

    I think it depends what you want for/from your body.
    Some people want to be skinny twigs, some don't.
    Some people want no thighs, some people don't care.

    My thighs aren't tiny, but they're all muscle.
    I don't want to be under 125 lbs, even if people say I should be.

    I'm no where near 180 anymore, so i think I'm good :)

    I'm 5'3" and 40 years old. My first goal is 165, as I am "curvy" but I'm hoping that I can maintain that loss for a while and then lose more.

    I'm 5'3" and my goal weight is 140. I have a larger build..big feet, big hands..just short legs, lol! I'm 47 and haven't weighed 140 since I was in high school. I was a size 10 and thanks to parents who were constantly on me about my weight, I thought I was huge at 140, but would be more than thrilled to be that size again..and I will!

    I am 34 and 5'2". I started last week and am aiming for 140. I am trying really hard to stay excited about this, and so far 1230 calories is completely doable. I need to find a workout routine that works for me. I should dust off my 30 day shred dvd, but when I think about it I feel like I'm setting myself up for disappointment. So far I feel more energetic and that alone makes this worthwhile. Does anyone else have hypothyroidism, and how is it affecting your journey?
