    I'm aiming for 150 and then seeing what happens from there. SW was 226.

    I'm 5'6"....CW 164. Goal weight is 145, we'll see what happens when I get there or get close to see if I need to adjust. SW was 175. Feel free to add me, I'm always looking for those with similar goals! ;) Good luck!

    I would love to get to 150 and then determine if that is where I want to be or if I can get 5-10 lbs more off.
    Athletic, toned, and healthy are my goals.

    I'm 5'6 currently 187 and a size 8. I started out at 218. I'd love to get down to a size 6 and weigh between 165-175 depending on how I will look when I get closer to my goal. I do have a lot of muscle so I know I will always weigh a little heavier than average. I don't care about being thin I just want to look tone and lean plus I have a medium frame so I could get away with carrying a little more.

    I started at 247 and I want to be 180 but I have a very heavy bone structure. I am at 222 right now so I still have a way to go.

    The fitness guru who worked with my old doctor said that I should weigh 133. I've used that as my goal ever since but it's a laugh really. I was happy at 142 in the mid-80s; I'd be thrilled with 145 and will settle for 150. I still have a long way to go to get there through. I can re-evaluate then if I get there. Happy spring!

    I'm not quite 5'6" (always thought I was but last time I was at the doctor they measured me at 5'5"....I'm only 34....too young to shrink!) and I currently weigh 122 with a body fat of 20%.

    I also ignore the BMI - when I was at 158lb - I was overweight, according to the BMI, which is ridiculous - I had less than 20% body fat and a 6 pack for heavens sake!!

    I think BMI is BS. I'll probably hanging out in the "overweight" BMI category once I am at goal... Getting into normal would put me into too skinny territory.

    I'm currently between 130-127 pounds (it changes day to day) but I have a very petite frame, so my goal is actually to get down to around 120. I'm currently a size 4 but I'm aiming for a 2 (:

    I'm 5'6" too and currently weigh 132lbs with 21% body fat. Throughout my whole adult life my natural set weight was between 140 & 147 ( I stuck there pretty effortlessly) and I always believed I was meant to be that weight, however, since losing 12/13lbs and have kept it off for 3 months now I know that it is possible to be lighter than you might be used to. I hope to get to 126 but I'm not in a hurry. I'm a UK size 10 just now.

    I would love to see 125! I think its realistic for my frame! I've lost about 15 slice I had my baby and got lazy for awhile! Jumping back on the wagon!

    Love to be 140, but I'd like to just get to 160 first and then keep on going.

    Currently I range between 126-128, and I am pretty happy with that. I am just working on toning now, so I will be happy at whatever weight I am at my current size with more definition.

    (Currently I'm a size 4)

    sw - 191
    cw - 177
    gw - 130

    I can dream!

    would need to lose another 2lb per week to reach my target.

    I'm 5'6" and the best I've ever been is 150 in my early 20's. That was when I was active duty in the Army, doing PT for an hour and I was in the boxing program working out for about 2.5 more hours. I've always been big (really wide hips, really big boobs), but I used to be ripped and in shape at 150.

    Right now my goal is to get to 160, would love to pull on a pair of size 8 jeans again. I was 160 right after having my daughter in 2002 and I've gained 70 pounds since then.

    You look great! Great job! I am 5'6" with a goal of 135-140. Almost there...

    Wow! You look great!!! I was wondering, if you don't mind me asking, what size are you wearing now?

    I'm 5'5" and have lost 16 pounds (193 to 177) and my goal is to wear a size 8. I'm currently wearing size 13-14 and I know everyone is different but it's nice to get a general idea.

    Congrats and keep up the great work!

    I'm 5'7" and am striving for 165. 10 years ago I was 150. I will never get there again. Why? Strength training has added at least 10 pounds of muscle to my frame. And maybe having a second child did it too! :happy:

    Great Job. You look incredible.

    I'm 5'6' and my goal weight is 130-133 lbs. I feel like I looked my best before kids, when I weighed about 123 lbs. However, I'm not sure that would be a reasonable weight for me to maintain... now that I'm 17 years older. Oh to be 20 years old again :)

    I've lost just a few more pounds since the last pic and I'm currently in very loose 7s.

    You look great! Fantastic job. I started at 168 (165 on here) and I am 5'6, my original goal was 140 but now I want to try and hit 135 by June 11th (my 44th birthday) I am hoping I can do it in that time frame!
