I am 5'4 and my goal is to be 115lb because I want to look thin.

jeannie,

I would rather have size 10 genes.

Height: 6' 2"
Goal: 200 lbs

I am 5' 8.5" any my goal is 152 or a size 10, whichever comes first. If it appears the best thing (because I am 51) I will settle for a size 12. I'm quite large boned so don't expect I should go less although I would enjoy my young-adult weight of 135.... but I would look like a scarecrow now if I went that low. I have 25 to 30 lbs to lose.

I am 6'5" and my goal is 220#. I am currently 314.5. My goal is by June of 2004!!! to be 220#. I will do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 5'9" and my goal weight is 165lbs.

I am 5'10 and I put 150 as my goal weight . I think that is where I should be . My dh says I should weigh like 140 ,but he doesn't know. I am sure that's too skinny.

I'm 5'9'' and my goal is 160

I'm 5'6" and my goal is 150.

I'm 5'8" and my goal is around 175. The lowest I've ever been as an adult is 168. I was 20! I think I weighed that for about an hour! LOL. I'd be thrilled to be anything under 200. It's been about 10 years.

I am 5' 9" and my goal is 150 lbs
Anything less would seem impossible for a big boned gal who builds muscle easy. I have always been told I look alot lighter than I am - which is good! I honestly, can't recall the last time I weighed this amount, it sure snuck past me en route. Sure would be awesome to find out!

Hi everyone, I've only posted to the newbies area, thought I would "branch out."

I'm 6'0" and my ideal weight is 180 lbs, back when I was a perfect size 14 (tall, big-boned, and very curvy -- that was as thin as I could ever be, though I still could never find jeans long enough). Lately I've been remembering how happy I had been at 195-200, and I felt that I looked pretty darn good at the time (it was after another fit of low-fat dieting, done in by pregnancy and grad school), so I'm thinking maybe I should be more realistic and change my goal to 200 lbs.

Anyways, that's my two-cents for the poll. I am really enjoying reading these threads, and I'm rather inspired by the amazing success stories here. Thanks for sharing them! Sincerely, Athena

Hi all,
I'm 5'7" and my goal weight is 120.

I also am 5'2", and hope to see anywhere from 125-135 by the time i am done with the weightloss and am ready for maintenence. 130 is the best i've ever looked, and it wasn't that long ago....
i can't wait to see that me again.

Athena31, don't even THINK of increasing your goal weight/jeans size, at least not until you're closer than you are now. Be optimisitic. You have the power within you to get there. In the mean time check out the jeans sold at http://www.alloy.com. They very probably have your size, and I guarantee they are long enough (up to 37" inseam).
