    I'm 5'7.5". All through college I was about 115 without trying. I have a tiny frame and no chest (ha!). I looked TOO THIN at that weight (I see those photos now and am amazed. I ate pizza and pasta for every meal - oh those were the days!). So my goal now is 130. At my highest I was almost 170 and now I'm at 143. I will be "Happy" at 140 but I'm not stopping until I hit 130. The first 20 pounds was remarkably easy to get off with just a 1200 calorie a day diet - but now I've been seriously stalled for a long time.

    I'm 5"7 and currently fluctuating between 146-150. My goal is to be at 135. These last few pounds are really hard to take off! :(

    I am between 5'6"-5'7" and when I was about 135 I still felt like I was fat.. So I think I would like to be like 120-125. I think I have a smaller frame though. I can fit my fingers around my wrist and they overlap.

    I am 28 very close to 29, and 5' 7". I have a small frame, The lowest weight I have ever been was 125 (size 6) in high school. When I started on here I weighed 150ish and was pushing size 12. Now I am 135 and I am a size 6. After 3 kids I didn't think I would ever be this size again and yet I could lose more fat that I packed on when I had my wonderful girls! I would love to stay at this weight and lose fat..maybe gain a little muscle weight.

    Amen!!! That's my goal as well!!! :drinker:

    I am 5' 7" and 157 lbs. I have worked hard to get to this point so I would say I feel good, but I am trying to get to 150. We'll see how I feel when I get there.

    It really depends on your body composition, Imho. I haven't been thin since childhood, and now I'm at my lightest as an adult (279) Heaviest was 366, and I wear an 18, and it's finally starting to get loose. I'm very muscular, with wide shoulders, and as my GP put it "bones like a man". :( I'm aiming for 200-230, by my estimates, that should be about a size 8-12 for me, and I think I'd be cool with that.

    I like the concept of this thread :)

    I feel most comfortable below 130, preferably 125. For me, fitness = comfort because it means I can do the things I like with the most ease.

    My body is quite strangely proportioned though. Big muscley booty and legs, and long thing torso with fairly spindly arms and no boobs, haha.

    I am currently 150 and very uncomfortable, but again, this is because my favourite things to do are much more fun the fitter I am. I am reasonably happy with how I look, but would really prefer to have less cellulite on the back of my thighs again.

    My first goal weight is 170.
    When I started out I was in a tight size 22 jean and weighed 273, I am now in a size 14 jean at 210.
    If history repeats itself, I will lose about 2 pant sizes every 14-15 pounds. That means I will be in a size 8 at my goal. I will have to evaluate what I want to do from there because that seems small for my body type.

    Not all of us are going to end up with low scale weights, just because of how we're built. My goal is about 170-180, which will also be small for my body type, and roughly a US10. Feel free to add me if you'd like!
