    I'm 5'10" (does that count?) and for right now I'm aiming for 160 and then I'll re-evaluate - I'll probably end up aiming for 145.

    I am 5' 9", started at over 250 lbs. I am currently at around 169 and my goal weight is 155! So close!

    Started at 184...goal weight is 155. I'll be happy at 160.
    BUT I know the weight may be higher with working out and lifting weights so I'm going to go with more on how I look, feel, and how my clothes fit more than the number!

    I'm 5'8.75" lol and my goal weight right now is 140, but it might be a little less or even a little more depending on how I look and feel when I get closer.

    I am 5'8 and right now I am just aiming for under 200. After I get down to an easily manageable weight I will probably look more at what a reasonable goal would be and probably start doing more weight training. I am guessing anywhere from 140 to 160 or so.

    Very true, started weights this week so we will see how that goes. If I can fit into my old dresses and jeans and look good in them I'll be delighted

    Same for me - I'm a naturally curvy 5' 8" and I know about 160lbs suits me, much less and I start to look gaunt.

    I am 5'8.5" and am aiming for 140 as my goal weight currently. I may revise that if needed, we'll see how I feel as I get closer to 140.

    I am 5'7 and 3/4... :wink:

    My " goal " right now is 150. Before I had babies, I was 140 and thought I could stand to lose a few.

    I carry nearly all of my weight in my stomach, waist, and a bit in my thighs. I'm in a size 14 right now, and I was a size 8/10 at 140.

    I'm 5'9" and am aiming for 147. But we'll see when I get to 160 since I'm getting a bit older. I carry my weight in front (stomach and breasts).

    I'm 5'7.5", so I consider myself 5'8". My goal is 135, but my "happy weight" is 150.

    I'm 5 8', and started off at 207.

    My goal weight is 160, but I'm large boned and muscular, so that may not be a healthy weight for people built smaller...

    Until a few days ago I thought I was 5'8"...turns out I'm 5'7"!!! Haha but I am aiming for 135 right now, ultimately 130.
    Getting in to target outfits is always a great way to measure success! Good luck!

    5'9 3/4 - 33years old

    I don't really have a goal weight anymore, as I'm focussed on BF%. Current weight is 153lbs and BF% is 19.2%. My new goal is BF% of 18.5%. Not sure if I'll be 150lbs or 140lbs once I get there...

    I'm 5'8" and 116 right now. I don't really have a goal weight right now. I'm thinking maybe 112. But I'm just taking it a pound at a time now.

    And please nobody give me rude comments about this. My body naturally used to be at 110. I don't look sickly or anything.

    5 ft 8.5 inches and 140 is what I can happily maintain with regular excercise.

    I'm 5'8" and my goal is 164, which is the top of the range for my height according to Weight Watchers . I have a little larger frame so 164 is perfect for me. I'm almost there and I feel great!!!

    5'9 and I currently weigh 151.. Used to think that I wanted to get down to 140, but now 150 suits me just fine.

    5'8.5" 175 is my goal. I am a larger framed person haha. I got down to 160 once, I looked like a lollypop with my big old head atop a stick like figure lmao. So 175 is perfect for me =)

    I am going for somewhere between 145 and 150. will no when I get there by how I feel and how my clothes fit and muscle tone.
