    I'm 33 and small framed, and a year ago I weighed about 132 lbs. Now I weigh 119 lbs. My goal is to fine tune and shed some of my extra fat and build more lean muscle, so I'd be very content with staying in the 118-123 range long term.

    I'm 5'6" and currently 208, started out around 235-240. I tell myself I will be happy to get down to 150...but we will see how I feel when I get there!! Good luck everyone with meeting your goals!

    I'm 5'6 and my current weight is 212lbs. I've decided 145-150 is right for me because I have a large chest and wide hips and would like to have a pinup body!I want to be toned and healthy, but I want to keep some of my womanly curves.

    I'm 5'6 and 227 pounds. I hope to get to 150 at least. I started at 240 somewhere back last year. My pants are anywhere between 18-15. I'd like to be in the 10-4 range though.

    I'm 5'6. I started at 147 and size 12 or 13 pants

    I am now hovering between 135-130 and my pants are too big =D but I haven't gotten new ones yet.

    My goal is get down to 125, then start weight training and probably go back up to 130. I am not sure yet

    I'm aiming for about 150 (but with more muscle than fat). I'm currently about halfway there.

    Yay like this thread feel quite normal lol I am 5'5.5

    SW 177
    CW 160
    GW 150

    Someone posted a while back simply dont know if i want to be any thinner than that partly because I dont think it would suit me ( 10 yrs ago thru illness went to 120lbs and looked so ill - well i was broken hearted lol ) and also the maintaining.

    It has to be said though my whole eating habits (and drinking ) have changed completely too be weeks since i snacked on crisps after eating a whole pizza and drinking a bottle of wine!

    kinda proud of my journey so far and still motivated and I think thats what matters more than anything else you are happy with yourself.

    sorry to waffle

    My in-app goal is 180 first, after that I will change it to 154 (the highest weight in the healthy BMI range for 5'6). I am not looking ahead any further than that.

    SW - 183
    CW - 170
    GW - 156
    UGW - 150

    Funny how all our goals are so different. I personally think I'll look and feel great if I get under 160, and I already feel pretty great after getting half way there.

    I started at 325lbs and am now down to 162lbs. I am 5'6.5". I am large boned and my goal weight is 150lbs.

    I think I am toned and thin enough in my entire body except my buttocks. I hope the next 12 lbs will come off mainly from there, ha! Too bad i can't control that.

    I notice that the younger women on this thread tend to want to weigh less than the older women. I'm curious whether that is because of the pressures on young women today to be pencil-thin, or whether the older women tended to have gained more weight (like me) over the years, so they would be quite happy to weigh 135, even though they may weighed much less when they were in their early 20s. Any thoughts on this?

    I think that's really interesting to think about, and probably very accurate.

    I am currently 159, though my highest was 205. I am the most comfortable at 150. it is a size 8/10 on me. Any lower than that and my body looks good but my face looks horrible. I have a big head and once I dip below 150, I look unhealthy.

    I am shooting for lower because I have seen my body look really really good at 117. That is the only time my tummy is really flat and I feel great in my clothes. I would like to be there this summer. However I will be happy to maintain my 121 weight.

    I started out at 190 and I am now 147. My goal is to get between 125-130, however, 140 would be fine with me if I was all muscle.

    Id be happy at 150-160.
    I started at 275, and the lowest weight I ever remember being is 180 (in grade 8).

    My body loves 140, I am getting close to GW of 130. am shooting for a toned 130 but would be happy if I could get in the 120's and lose some body fat. I know I gain muscle faster than I lose fat so I am working on losing the weight and toning it up, which is a slow process for me.
