What is you goal weight?

[anniet]

115 by Christmas - I'm currently 165, which is way to much for my 4'11" frame.....You read it here first!

 

[eeyore65]

My goal is 150. I am 5'8" - that would put me in a size 8-10. I am currently 195 (under 200- yeah!) and about a size 14.

Honestly, I don't have a goal weight. I have a goal "look". There is a certain way I want to look and as soon as I get to it, I will be sure to post a picture.

The reason I don't have a goal weight is because I know that with all of the training that I am doing, I am building a lot of muscle. I also know that muscle weighs more than fat. So I am going for a look. If I weigh the same as I did at the beginning but look the way I want, you will never here a complaint out of me.

I my goal weight is 135. I am 17 from that. But even that is 10 pound of "ideal" but it is what I weighed when I got preganant with my first DD 17 years ago.

Well, I thought my goal was 125, but apparently, for my height (4'11") I should weigh between 95 and 119.

I can't imagine getting that small again, I think I was at 112 for 5 minutes once in my 20's.

I started at 160 and am now at 156. I would like to be 140 and then see what happens. I am 5'6" tall. When I was 39 I weighed 129. Now I am 54 and I think that would be too thin and I would look like I was sick. So 140 should get me into the clothes that don't fit...

My goal is 180, which will get me to a healthy BMI, then anything under that will be a plus. I'm 6' tall and have a large frame. I weighed around 180 when I got married (14 years ago) and was thin. I'm on the "weigh" down!!

 

[gaia2009]

I'm 292, and I'd like to be 140. I haven't weighed that much since I was 9 years old.

 

[Trish Bessette]

My goal is 140

I'm 5'7" and weigh around 160.

I wear a size 10 but I want to look REALLY good in a size 10 I'd love to be a size 8 but when I was 140 I still wore a size 10.

I carry my extra weight in my upper torso area - chest, chin, etc. Just losing that will make a big difference.

I am FINALLY starting to lose the "girls". YIPPEE! I'll take my measurements on Monday. S

I think for me I have a goal weight, and then depending on how I feel there is a dream weight. For me my goal weight is 140, which is still technically overweight for my 5'2" frame but that was what I weighed when I graduated high school and met my husband. When I get there I will think about 120. right now I am 224 and a size 18. yuck!

I'm 292, and I'd like to be 140. I haven't weighed that much since I was 9 years old.

I also was 140 when I was around 9 years old, even though my parents were doing all the things parents today are told to do if their kids are fat. I'm glad I'm not the only one! I was starting to feel very alone, reading all these posts about how people want to get back to 120 or whatever. Obviously, I was 120 at some point in my life (I wasn't born weighing 140), but I was so young at the time that I had no real awareness of my weight.

My goal is just to lose 40 pounds, even though that will leave me in the obese category. I'm concerned that if I lose too much, I won't be able to maintain it. If I can maintain a 40 pounds loss for the rest of 2008, I may see about going lower.

I started out at 284 and over the past year I have gotten down to 228. My goal is to get down to 205. People have been complenting me on how my weight I have lost. It feels great. My goals are to run in the upcoming 15k and the WDW Full Marathon. Take care.

Jason, how tall are you? I would love to find some other people whose goal weights is above the "normal" range for their height.

Intellectually, I know that hardly anyone goes from being obese to normal weight by dieting and is able to stay there, but I still feel weird that everyone except me seems to be planning to get all the way (or almost all the way) down to "normal."

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Well gang.....just finished my first week on Nutri System and I am down 4 lbs.
I would love to be in a size 6/8!

 

[decaff38]

I too am 222 (size 18)and hoping for a first goal of 185 (hopefully a comfy 14)then I will shoot for 170ish. i am 5'7" and my BMI is 33. I was 160lbs 8 years ago and I was so happy I had posed pictures taken. I have since gotten rid of those jeans.Boo-Hoo. I ran/walked the Disney 1/2 in 2005 (at 190)and a 10mile(at 210) in Mpls in Oct. 2007. Slow but finished. I have my youngest's HS graduation, 30th class reunion, family reunion and my son is getting married in the fall. All kinds of external reasons. I really just want to tie my shoes with out passing out and get my wedding bands off to get them cleaned for now. I have started walking daily. 2 down so far. I am watching my food and cutting portions in 3rd or 1/2 if I can. Drinking water again ( forgot about the Crystal light peach ice tea). It really cuts that sweet crave for me. I am not a big snacker so that is not it. I think it is just the meal consumption that gets me. I have been approx. the same weight for 4 years. If I make a few changes I should see something pretty quick. Looking forward to this week. Starting positive. I also have been watching I Can Make You Thin on TLC. So good tips. Best of luck to all

When I first started I was close to 200 pounds and am now down to 148. I would like to lose an additional 20 but I feel like I'm destined to be stuck in the 140s forever.

I'm hoping with the nice spring weather and later daylight, I'll get more walking in after supper. The other week when I ran 39 miles and walked 20 miles for the week I noticed the scale started budging so that was a little encouraging!

 

[samiet620]

Hi all, I'm new. I started my new lifestlye in January at 232 lbs. I am now 220lbs. I am 5'1. I was always thin even after having twins I walked out of the hospital in my regular clothes...then it all just exploded and I have been strugling for 10 years. Truth is I wasn't actually being a truthful dieter and soo though I am deemed the queen of diets I am now just making better choices and accepting that I am not dieting I have to see it as a new lifestyle...no exception. I would like to just reach 199lbs right now. Thats my short term goal....my long term is 140 lbs. I do not focus on that because I get overwhelmed and I have to remind myself that its for life. I not hoping to make it, I try my best to accept that I WILL make it! I was so discouraged last night but reading the boards have re- energized me. Finally I feel that other people really understand.
Boy I was long winded!!! Any way thanks to all who started before me and LETS DO THIS!!!!!

I know exactly what you mean! we can so easily get ourselves down! i find that happens to me when you let that "guilt factor" whisper a lil too loudly in your ear. i do the same thing, come on this board, read how ppl are just soo determind and then it amps up my determination. so thank you to EVERYONE you make me want to get off the couch and do that extra crunch

So i am 5'4" (well TECHNICALLY 5'3 1/2" i just love to expand on that 1/2 inch!) and I weight 133, i would LOVE to get down to 123lb. i seem to do mostly everything right, i just don't understand why that scale dosen't like to move.....oh well, you'll see me in WDW in Sept at 123lb if its the last thing i do!!

 

[wezee]

My goal weight is 132 lb. by our Sept. WDW trip. I went to WW over 2 yrs ago at a starting weight of 192 lbs. I have been as low as 135....but am now at 141 lb. I am 5'6" and wear size 6-8. But I want to tone up and get rid of some of the fluff and jiggle!
