i'm 5'5" and a half. :D i based my goal on the weight i was when i got married (size 12/13) and cuz sharon was rushing me to give her a number when she was helping me to put together my ticker. :roll: LOL (that sharon and her pressure tactics!) i'll probably adjust it later but for right now it's what it is. like my tagline says, i'll know when i get there and i'll change it then.

I'm 5'3", but my goal is 5'10", hehe.

I chose my goal weight based on the bmi charts, but I'm quite sure I'm gonna change it as soon as I get there. I would rather be at the lower end of my healthy weight range....more like 125.

Thank you all for sharing. It is so interesting. I like that so many people chose weights that they think would be comfortable.

Oh my gosh, your such a brat! LOL :hammer: hehe

I'm 5'5. I weighted 200 when I met my husband and was wearing a size 12/14. And I felt like a ROCK STAR! If I get down to 175 I figure I might be in a 10, or something close to that. That would be manageable for me to maintain. When I get to 175 and want to lose more so be it...BUT if I do look out...KIM YOU WILL HAVE TO STEP ASIDE HONEY...haha ;)

I based my goal at 150 cause I thought I could loose that before vacation, well I was wrong and I am sure that once I get to 150 I will cahnge it to 135 to 140...maybe 135. The mymedifast board has my goal at 125 but I never picked it, tha computer did it for me...darn computers :?

I'm 5' 2", and I never really had a weight problem until I had my first baby at 32. (I was always worried about losing 10-15 lbs. though....thought I was fat when I wasn't). On my wedding day, at age 31, I weighed 125 lbs. and wore a size 6 or 8. I've lost about an average 80 lbs. and got thin three times in the past ten years, and the lowest I got to was 123....a loose size 4...a little too thin for me. I didn't feel very good at that weight. It's weird that I was THINNER that time, weighing almost the same as I did on my wedding day six years before. I remember that I liked weighing 130-135 best....it felt good to me (I was a size eight) and I didn't feel like I was starving all the time. My bodyfat % was around 22%, which is just right since I have a high LBM (lean body mass). My goal weight right now is 135, but I'll probably adjust that down after I get there. I know this was a long explanation, but I'm basing my goal weight on my personal experiences being thin. I'm always at the upper end of the charts because of my naturally high LBM.

Don't worry sweetie. I've read a lot of posts that have mentioned no one really noticing until about 30 pounds of loss. You just keep on shakin' and losing and we'll keep on cheering for you.


I'm 5'2" -5'3" or so. 114 was my weight before I got married and was were I felt most comfortable. I'd be happy 118-114 range.

DITTO! Exactly the same. ;)

But 125 just sounds scary to me for some reason...but we'll see.

I am 5'5". My goal is to be 125-130 by my trip to Myrtle Beach in September, but I would love to see how I look at 115-120 by Christmas! I think 120 is the least I should be.
