    I started at 235, am currently 187 & size 12. My goal at the moment is 170 and then I'll reassess. I'll never be tiny though, I've got about 135lbs of lean mass and am strength training so as not to lose it.

    I started around 250+ and a size 22/24, and my first goal was 180. I made that and didn't feel as thin as I remembered feeling at 180 15 years ago... so I changed my goal to 160 and am 169 now. I think I will change it to 150 once I reach 160, because I feel like I could comfortably lose another 20 pounds to look better. I fit into a size 12 but not super comfortably, so I think at 150, I could wear a size 12 very comfortably and a tight 10 perhaps. This is the thinnest I've been as an adult, so its a journey to see where I feel I look the best :) Everyone is different though, so whatever works for you and makes you feel your best is a great goal :) good luck on your journey to a healthier you!

    I am 5'5.5", and am hoping for 140, but no lower than 135. Once at 140, I will try and work on hitting 20% body fat instead. I'm more interested in having a curvy toned body than a super thin one.

    I have a larger frame and heavier bone density. I would like to be at 170. As long as I keep active this weight looks good on me and more importantly it feels good.

    I fluctuate between 125 and 132. I'd say I'm at goal, but want more muscles.

    I always feel like the odd one out on posts like this...my goal is 160(or in the 160s..) I'm currently at 169(down from 235!) :)
    I have a larger frame, and I just don't see the need for myself to reach anything lower...I want to live, and enjoy eating still! :)


    This is me!

    I am 5'7 and I had been 150 untoned and think that toned at 150 would be amazing! I am in no way small figured like my sisters my shoulders are wider and so are my hips and I love my "Upper Curves"! I can't wait to get there only 24lbs away!

    I'm 5'6" and really I would love to be 175lbs. I might change my mind once I get there, but that feels like a magic number to me.

    To everyone who posted and is 5'6" and want to weigh less than 115 lbs, you should do some research because that is less than a healthy weight.

    My goal weight is 145-150 as i think this would suit my frame. However, once I get there, i'll have a better idea of where I should really be.

    I agree with this - I am 5'6" and my goal is around 155. My goal really though is to eat better and exercise more consistently, so the number on the scale may not be the best show of progress for me!

    140-150 works perfectly for my frame.
    Below 130 didn't look too healthy.

    I would love to get to 130, but my body isn't really liking that idea. I've been stuck at 138-140 for a LONG time now.

    I'm having this same problem! :grumble:
