    I'm 6'0, I've only been at this for a little over 3 months. That said, I've lost close to 16 pounds...though I still have a long way to go.

    I'm 5' 9" (or 5' 10" when I meet a 5' 9" man :wink: ). I started on this journey at 198 in January and just went to 169. All my small clothes now fit. I'm not losing as fast but I am still losing inches. I wish I had taken pictures and measurements, but I'm clearly getting fit and strong. I think I put my goal weight as 150, but really my goal is to get rid of the extra flab and build more strength. When that happens, I'll switch to maintenance.

    I am 5'-8" tall and started in January 2012 at 225lbs. I am now at 180.2. The lowest I have ever weighed (that I can remember) is 179 so I am about to enter uncharted territory. I am thinking that I want to get to 160lbs but as I get closer, I am starting to realize that 150-155 may be more in line with where I need to get to. Hey - 1 lb at a time right? I have a doctor's appointment in a few weeks so I am hoping to get him to give me better direction on goal weight.

    Anyone else having difficulty figuring out what their goal should be?

    I'm 5'9 started at 293; currently 271; 1st goal 195 then re-evaluate.
    Highest weight ever was probably 315 (but in denial)
    My 1st goal is the weight I was at 1/18 and thought I was huge, but probably wasn't!

    I'm still a work in progress, but consider myself successful thus far. I am 5'11" and started out at 332 pounds. I am currently 231 and looking to get down to 175.

    wow, congrats steph1278 on so much lost! I'm 5'11" and started at ~215. My goal is 160ish, I want to get back to my weight during college because that's when I remember feeling great about myself and having so much energy!

    I am 5'11 1/2. I started in November @ 301, and I'm currently at 207. I'll not say I've 'made it yet' cause I have a long way to go; at least 30 more lbs..but it's slowly getting better :)

    I'm 5'10" and started out at 249. Still have a ways to go. If I can do it, you can too.
    One thing that helped me was to make little goals along the way.
    Ex: When I was 249 my first goal was 225, than under 200, now its to get to my healthy BMI of 174, and hopefully down to the 150s.

    I'm 5'9 and (re)starting out at 242. This is my second time starting MFP. I was down to 200 in September and then gained 60lbs (yuck!) while I was pregnant. Right now I am down to 235 and my ultimate goal is 160. Here are some pictures....in the first one was when I was at my heaviest, about 270 and the other is right around 200lbs. In the last picture I was 38 weeks along and 260. I'm super pumped about losing the baby weight and fiiiiiinally getting down to my goal weight!

    I'm 5'10 (and a half!!). Started at 213lbs. Spent a year on MFP getting down to 173lbs. I have maintained this weight for a little over year, and am now getting back on track to lose a final 10-15lbs. Good luck! This site is a huge help!
