I'm 5'8" and currently weigh in at 135. My goal is 125. I've got 10 pounds left to go, and it's all in my a$$! I'm fitting in most of my size 6 clothes, but there are a couple of the smaller "size 6" pants that I still can't quite zip or button up. But these last 10 pounds will take care of that.

I am 5'11" and would like to get down to 166. Of course, anything below 200 and a pants size of 36 to 38 would make me happy

I am 5'11 and my goal is 225 pounds. I was 225 around 5 years ago and looked abit thin...so maybe 240 would be better for me. I am very heavily boned and muscled, so I "need" the weight to avoid looking ill. I am 310 in the pic on the left.

Best to all;
Jake

I'm 5' 6"/44/medium-boned and I keep changing my goal between 128-134. I weighed about 123 before kids, but I realize that my "mass" has shifted...I'm more dense (in body, too ) than I was 20 years ago (i'm 44 now).

I think 134 and/or a comfortable size 8 is realistic, but I do fantasize about being in the 120's and a size 6.

I'm 6'0" give or take a half an inch. My goal is in stages...I will settle for anything below 184. I would like to get to 175...and really want to get down to 165.

I was 190 pounds at 5'8" in the Middle School. I managed to get down to 168 pounds at 5'10" by my Freshman year of HS. I was still larger...and not in as good of shape as I'd have liked. Based on the shape I was in at the time (not great, but a hell of alot better than I am now), I would be happy to be the weight I was (adjusted for height: 213 pounds) in Middle School.

I definitely want to get below 184 (my current goal)...175 would be (adjusted for height) about where I was my Freshman year of HS. I thought I was fat and out of shape at that time. But, right now...what I was then looks fine. 165 is where I'd really like to be, though.

I'm 5'11" and have reached my goal of 160. I weighed that for many years after my 3rd child was born, so am happy there. It makes me a size 14-16, a great size for me in clothes!

I am 5' 6 1/2", and my goal weight is 140. I may reevaluate that once I hit 150. My lowest as an adult was 143, and that was comfortably thin, size 9-10 and thinking maybe I could try a size 8 for the first time in my life. I've been a size 9 since 8th or 9th grade, even though I wasn't heavy then. 150 may be more realistic, but even 160 is looking good right now!

I'm 5'7" and my goal is 150. My normal (highest pregnancy weight was 194) weight has ranged anywhere from 113 lbs. - 175. I think I've actually lost several hundred pounds over the last 20 odd years, and gained several hundred back!
My favorite weight period was at around 130-135, but my whole family kept telling me that I looked anorexic. They are the ones that told me the 145-150 range is where I look best. I admit I did feel alot better as a 150 size 9 than I do as a 175 lb. tight 12-14. But boy those 130 lb size 5-7's were great while they lasted!

5'7 1/2" - somewhere around 140 - 145 would be good..

it's been 30 days and I'm down 14, so hopefully a few more months.

I'm 5'9 and currently weight 191...down from 204. My long term goal is 175. Really as long as my size keeps shrinking I don't think the weight is that big of a deal. Right?

I am 5'3"...and want to be 120....

My doctor asked me what my weight was when I was young...It was no more than 120...He told me to shoot for 150 first, then we'll lower it down to `120....hopefully when I go to him in 3 months, I'll at least be down to 150...Yeah....Yes, I can...and 120 by Christmas...

I know I can...I've been on for 5 months and I feel confident....It's a way of life for my hubby and I...one we will not ever get off of...
