    I'm a closer to 5'8" then 5"7 and have never been smaller than a size 8 even when I was a varsity swimmer in college. I started at 180, currently at 165 and trying for 145. But realistically 150ish is probably good.

    My initial goal is 175 which will be 100 lbs lost. I don't know if I'll try to get lower, it's been such a journey just to get where I am. :)

    I started out at 144 pounds on January 17, size 8. My goal was 130, but when I got to about 134 I decided I'd like something in the 120s. So, now my goal is 128. Right now I'm at 130, size 4, and around 15% body fat. Almost to goal!

    I really want 120 (may have to re-evaluate later)

    I'm 5' 7.5". My goal weight is 135, but I might go a little lower once I get there. I lived most of my adult life at 118, we'll see.

    I'm 5'6" and my goal is around 140lbs (65kgs). I find it hard to make a estimate of what weight i would like to be at because i have an athletic frame not a skinny one. I just want to be healthy.

    I'm 190 now, aiming for 150. Was 135 to 140 in my thirties, would love to get back to that weight!

    I am 5'8" and my goal weight is 160.. I think if I went any lower, I would look way too thin. :) I am currently at 180 and wear a size 10 jeans..

    Goal weight is 145-150. What size is everybody around that weight? I know everybody is different but I never get smaller than a size 8. I would love to be a 6!

    I'm 5 6" and "big boned" as people put it. I would be ecstatic at 155! Was down to 157 a few years ago and in a size 10 but I didn't care about size. It was how i felt!

    I agree with her! I am big boned as well so 160 is my goal weight and I'm 180 now. Started 240.

    I am the same way! I was 217 when I started this journey. I got down to 147 and my family said I was too thin. I am currently at 155 and am very happy where I am at. My only goal right now is to tone and continue to stay healthy. It is much more than a number, I am wearing a size 8 (I still have thighs :-)) but am very content when I look in the mirror!

    I am almost 5'7 and I weigh 155lbs. and would love to be back to 135lbs. I think the weight "thing" alsodepends on your body type. Good Luck!

    I'm 5'8 and my goal weight is 165. I weighed 145 in highschool and was very, very thin. I don't want to lose what I've been blessed with after having my kids! =)

    I'm 150 and a size 6. I have a really small "boy" frame though - no hips/curves.

    I am 5"8 and hoping to get down to around 160lbs, it's more than I used to be pre-fat but in all honesty, I don't want to be constantly watching what I eat to maintain a lower weight.

    I'm 5'9" @ 241. Would like to maintain between 185-195, but will happily accept 199!

    I am 5' 7" and currently sitting mid 180's but I want to get to 160. Workin' on it with Insanity, but at the moment Insanity has put muscle on me so I'm putting on a couple pounds. Which I can deal with. I just want to be in my 9 jeans again (old school 9's not the new 9's that are more like 3's). But in the end inches matter more to me than pounds. I use to be 115 but I never want to be that small again, I looked nasty-like I needed to eat a few happy meals! So post baby I just want to look healthy!

    5"7 and my ultimate goal would be 150, anything under that would be a bonus, I was 280 at my heaviest, my scale is down and out so I won't get weighed until Wed at the doc but I am pretty sure I am in the 230's by now

    I'm 5'7 but have a large frame for my height, so much to the point were I was able to wear at size 4 when I was 150 LOL.

    My current goal is 145, but I have been told by professionals that for my frame that just might be too low? I'm at 190 now, I'll have to see once I get closer to my goal:)

    Best of luck to u!

    I'm currently @ 160.8, started @ 191. I'd like to get back down to around 130 as I really like that weight. However, anything that'll get me into a size 8 pants will work cause that's what's really important.

    Same here! My goal is 155ish. I think a size 10 would be fantastic. :) I started at 235, currently 175ish.

    :smile: It all depends on how much body fat and muscle you have, and your bone size. As long as it is a healthy weight for your frame. I am 155.5 currently and my goal is 142-135. I was 110 in high school but felt I was too thin and wanted to gain weight then.

    Me too, except I'm 171.5 right now. According to the "wrist test" I'm thick boned, so anything less I don't really look healthy. I was in the 130/140s in college and I look back and pictures and I was too thin. I used the "true weight" calculator on the Dukan Diet website (http://www.dukandiet.com/Calculate-your-True-Weight) and it told me my true weight is 161. I'd be happy there, but really I'm more concerned about getting my body fat %age down and looking/feeling good. Last time I checked it (about a month ago) my body fat was at 31%. I'd like to have it down around 25%.

    Though I'm 5'7", I'm built pretty slender, and at my top weight of 143, looked pretty gross. Goal is 126. That's my not-too-skinny/toned/healthy ideal.
