I am 5'7 and my goal was 155, i am now 154 and my goal has changed to 135. I carry my weight on my hips and stomach and i am pretty sure i will be very slim at 135.

I am exactly that height, and am coming off having a baby. I have gone down from 195 full term to 157 now, 6 months later. I plateaued at about 158, so I started MFP and it has really helped. I think at 140 or 135 I should be able to sport a bikini, if my belly and hips keep going down That is my goal right now. But I have a large frame so I can wear extra weight, closer to 130 I think that is too much to loose.
But it is really less about weight--I have less fat on my legs, thighs and ass than before I had the baby, and I am just a few lbs heavier than when I got prego! I think it's more about how you feel and making the right choices. If you want to look better in a bikini, target those areas with exercise and continue a diet focused toward fat burning. But I notice a lot of people focus on weight a whole lot. Really, I have not lost any weight in 2 weeks on MFP, but I am down a pant size! And totally thrilled! |

I'm 5'8" and my first goal weight was 150, when I hit that I decided I wasn't happy so I went to 145/140. That was 8 years ago. I've been as low as 127 and everyone could tell I was sick at that time. I was bone thin and looked horrible. 140 is my goal but I'm having trouble breaking 145. Getting older sucks ;)

I'm 5'7 1/2 techniciallly but round up to 5'8 ;)
I've had 150 as a number in my head from the beginning. Id really like to see that number. Maybe I can do even better than that, or maybe I cannot get that low. We shall see when i get there. :)

First of all, can I agree with a lot of the other posters here. What is target for some, will be different for others. Also it has to be sustainable, so no point setting a goal like someone else - compare by all means. But I know that for ME, I will never be thin thin.
Currently: 5'7" Age: 36 yrs Weight: 191 lbs Size (UK): 16 bottom, 14 top Aim - Weight - 161 (11 1/2 stone) Size (UK): 12 (occasionally a 14) That is sustainable with sensible choices, that's reining in the alcohol content, and I know (and have come to terms that I will never be skinny, and that's fine). I know I was happy and looked "about right" as a UK size 12. I'm curvy too, so I carry that weight pretty well. I don't look 191 lbs now I don't think (and a lot of others say that to me too).
