    I'm aiming for 175. That might seem a little high but after being at almost 300 (and above at other times) 175 seems wonderful. At 201 my jeans I just bought are already baggy on me but I don't want to buy more now. Not going to purchase anything else till I lose the all of the weight.

    150. my lowest was 175 and i was starting to see ab definition. I think 15 less than that would be good and healthy but still curvy. I have a bigger frame too so i think if i went to the low end I'd look odd. Who knows though.


    same here....lowest was around 170 and I felt great as too skinny would look really odd on me....my gw just now is to get back to 170.....30 to go !!!

    My UGW is 125. Right now I am at 127lbs and I have a small frame. I love exercise and being lower in weight has made me a bit speedier on my long runs. It's kind of fun working my abs now, knowing that I'm not fighting through a big layer of fat to see my results :)

    I'm about 5'6 have a large frame and am currently around 157. Ultimate goal was between 130 and 135 but I am rethinking that. The lowest ive been is 143lbs and i was very active and ate healthy so we wil see when I get back down there. I got some comments that I was too thin for my frame then so I may just try to get to 140 and work more on toning and losing inches than losing weight.

    I am 5'7" and pear shaped. I started MFP at 175 pounds and a size 12/14 US. I am now at my goal weight of 145 pounds and am a size 6 or 8 in pants. I am happy at this weight!

    The lowest I have ever been was 175. This was also when I realized I had a smaller body frame than I thought I had. I have always been quite a bit heavier than everyone else. Right now my goal is 160 (highest point for healthy BMI) but I think I will find that I'm a bit more flabby than I want to be at that point. However, it will be the lowest weight I have ever been, so I don't want to get ahead of myself. Maybe even weight training at that point will help me feel more comfortable.
    I've been purusing mybodygallery.com a lot lately. I think 160 is a good place to start, but I have to say 140 does look good on the 5'7" frame... that would be 100lb loss for me. Yikes!

    this is my fear!! Im afraid ill get to 135 then have to basically eat like celery and carrots for the rest of my life to stay that way ha ugh



    At my skinniest I was 130 and it was so hard to maintain. Not only eating wise but my body couldn't sustain itself, my periods stopped for over 2 years and I was very lethargic. The dr. told me to gain 15 lbs and I felt much better. So this time I'm shooting for 145-150. It also depends on your boney frame as well, I have friends as tall as me who weigh 120-125 and they feel great (they are naturally thin though) I have a larger bones so 130 is too light for me.

    The lowest I have been since high school was 164. I set my goal for 160 but I would love to be 140-145. I am seeing how I do and if I get to 160 I am aiming to go lower

    140

    Currently 160. I have a relatively large body frame and I carry a good amount of muscle.

    Keep in mind that even though we all share the same height, we are all different shapes and sizes...frame size plays a huge factor!

    I have a very small frame.
    My highest weight ever was 148 lbs and I looked like a beached whale. My ears hurt from the sound my thighs made as they scraped together when I walked. Seriously.
    I quickly lost the weight, but was stupid about it.

    When I climbed back up to 132 lbs (when I first joined a fitness site to keep track of my food/exercise) I again had a large spare tire and my arms could barely fit into my sleeves.

    I managed to get safely back down to 114 lbs last February (the weight I had for most of high school) and have been maintaining it since. My lowest weight would have been 108 lbs when I was 15, but I had barely any muscle mass and looked squishier then than now. I've been focusing more on the tape measure these days as opposed to the number on the scale so that I can have more defined muscle definition and run for longer periods of a time without getting winded!

    Short term goal is 150... But 130 would be ideal.

    My current goal weight is what I was in high school, 165 and size 12. But I would ideally like to lose an extra 20 lbs from that and go down to 145, if I can! 'm just starting out and so far I am pretty optimistic :)

    Mine originally was 164, but with my body changing shape, I'm thinking maybe 170 is appropriate. I don't want ot look like a lollipop.

    *edited to add I'm 181 and size 8/10 now.
