I'm 5'7", and goal weight (after baby) is 140 to 145. My ultimate goal is a Size 8, so whatever I weigh at that point is fine.

Wink I can't wait until I reach goal................

I'm around 5'5" and my goal weight is 150lbs( i was 150 probably 4yrs ago when I met Dh).I have always been very curvy and I actually look good at 170 (size 12) but I want to get back into my really skinny jeans.I may decide to change goal lower or higher depending on how I feel and look.

I am 5'6" and my goal weight is 130. At this height that is the lowest weight I've been, but I remember always fluctuating between 130-150 during high school, then ballooning to the all-time high of 185 in college (ugh...not a good time to be fat). Then I lost 20 lbs on Scan Diet my senior year, only to gain it all back in the past year, and now I'm -15lbs again so to be honest, I'd be really happy at 150 as well.

But ultimately, I WILL be 130!!!!!!

Edit: oh I forgot to mention, it's really not the NUMBER that matters. I have this one "skinny" outfit that I looked good in in high school (was 5 years ago!), so I want to fit into that outfit again, and if I do, even if I'm over 130, I'm good to go! I have that outfit hanging in my closet right now. =)

I'm 5' 51/2" (i used to say 5'6) and my goal weight is 135-140. I was that once,but had to obssively work out , and was always hungry. I still work out 4-5 times per week, but all the low fat high carb stuff has kept me stuck at 155...

I am 5'4" now and weight between 160 and 164 on any given day. I am now in a comfortable size 10 and wish to be a firm size 8 so whatever the scale says will be fine with me.

I am guessing another 5- 10 lbs should do it and then just exercise and maintenance.

We are the same height, cool, I haven't met anyone on here yet that was really short, how old are you? I'm 26. It's not fun being short is it. Sometimes its ok, but I can never reach anything. I guess thats why they made tall men..............

I am 5'9''. My goal is 180; however, I was in high school the last time the scale said 180. I would be ok with 200 as long as I feel fit and healthy.

I am 5 feet tall. My goal is 120 lbs with 20% body fat (my lean body mass is 96 lbs).

I used to weigh 110 lbs 2.5 yrs ago. 110 lbs was my goal (changed it) before but I think it is unrealistic: my body fat would have to be really low, like a professional athlete's or I would have to lose lean body mass (eat away muscle) which is not a good idea.

I just want to get back into size 5. Right now I am in size 13s and 11s (fit but snug..so I guess they don't really fit ).

38 more pounds to go!

Peace
red

I'm 5'7" - my goal weight is 140, but because I lift weights, it's gonna be tough, however, I'm down from a 16 to an 11, I'd like to be an 8 and don't really care what my weight is.

I'm 5'9" and my goal is 150. Most of my life, I actually weighed less than that in the 135-140 range size 6. About ten years ago my thyroid quit working and I gained weight. I had breast cancer and the medicine they gave me made me gain more weight ... and now it is slowly all going bye bye!

I'm a loose size 12 now and I'm aiming for a 8.

Default didn't know if you wanted men too

I'm 6' 1" and my goal is 230. I have never weighed that little, at least not since I was a 13 or 14, so don't know how it will look, or if it will be maintainable.

35 more pounds to go.

Later,
