    I'm 5'8" and 140. I'd like to be closer to 132- that's what I weighed at the end of high school.

    Your turn!

    I am 5'10" I would like to weigh 175lbs and I currently weigh 215lbs. I'm ready for it to go! 

    I'm down 10lbs since July 3rd so hopefully by Christmas I will be where I want to be and I can wear something little and cute for New Years!

    I am 5'4'' and 150 lbs. I would like to be at 140, since I am so petite, the extra ten pounds is more obvious than it would be on someone that were taller.

    I'm not sure... I'm thinking 110-115

    edit: I'm 5'2.5" 

    I was 103 before I ballooned, but that is too small (I think).

    I'm 5'3" and weigh 115. I'm happy with this weight but really need to tone everything before the wedding! I have had a gym membership for a year and have used it 4 times! I need to get my butt in gear!

    @JeffsWifey: I'm 5'8 and I'm happiest with my body at about 135. I'm 150 and rising now though, lol, I'm pregnant. But after this baby pops out in April I'm going for the gold and plan to get back to around 130-135 before trying to get pregnant again since we want our kids close in age.

    I'm 5'4 and 117 which is actually my ideal weight.  I like being anywhere from 115 to 121.  The lowest I've been is 115 which I like but it definitely takes some work.  The most I've been was 140 when I just let myself go a few years back.  Luckily I caught myself before it spiraled out of control.

    I don't really know. I'd like to be in the "healthy" bmi range with is 115-154, although I seriously doubt I'd need to be towards the lower end of that to look healthy. I was around 125 at one point and I thought I looked (too) skinny. I think I'd like to be about a size 8. So whenever I get around there... I'll probably stop. :)

    @JeffsWifey:  I'm about the same as you!  I'm 5'8 and currently 133.   My weight stays pretty steady between 132 and 140, regardless of my fitness regime and diet, so I think this is probably my body's ideal weight.... especially considering I'm almost 32 and have been this way for the past 10 years!

    I am 4' 8", and about 103, which I think is perfect for me if it was toned, but I am a weakling. I have a very small frame also. 

    I had a baby 2009 december and wieghed right after at 145, so that contributes to the non-toned look with some extra skin.

    I was looking up my "perfect" weight online, one site told me 89 pounds (ICK!!) and one couldnt compute.. lol.. I think those sites are geared to make anyone think they have to loose wieght.

    Im 5'3" and hover around 134 and I am fine with it, I love my butt lol.  The lowest I would go for my body type is 128-130 lbs, any less and I start to look sick.  I would have to lose a significant amount of muscle mass to look good at below 125ish.

    I'm 5'7 & think I look my best between 130-135.  I wear a size 4 or 6 at that weight... well, my bottom half does.  My top half is probably a size 2 at that weight.. I carry most of my weight in my thighs, hips, and behind, lol. 

    Right now, I'm wearing an 8 in jeans and I'm not happy. We won't even talk about my actual weight, LoL.  I'm a typical victim of "happy weight" that I gained since I started dating my FI a year & a half ago.  I'm working on it though! :o)

    6ft and currently 153... ideal weight 135. I was that for a long time and felt fat... how wrong I was!

    (for metric folk that is 70kg down to about 63)

    I'm 5'5" and happy at 280 lbs.  I'll lose some weight prior to TTC (which is years away), and I may lose a little weight for the heck of it at some point, but I never want to go below 200 lbs.  I'll likely settle around 225-250 maybe.  I really like the weight I'm at now, though.

    I was happiest at 137lbs and I am 5'5. Last time I weighed myself (months ago) I was 147lbs. I have been alot more active since then, so I am sure my weight has gone down. But I refuse to ever step on a scale again, unless for health reasons in the future.

    I'm 5'4" and have come to terms with my weight. I'd like to get down to 130 (I'm around 140 now), but never again to my high school weight--I was 110 and looked skeletal. I have big hips and a large rib cage for my frame, so when I'm that thin they're really visible and it's freaky.

    I'm 5'3 and usually weigh about 110 lbs. Right now I'm at 94 and look like a crackhead (no offense crackheads I'm sure some of you are beautiful). FI wants me at 120 at least before the wedding but we'll see. 

    I just want some boobs!!!

    I'm 5'4, 117-120 lbs.  I think I looked my best at 110 when I was working out.  My weight sits at my stomach and thighs so any loss workig out I do seems to tone that right up up, the rest of me always seem to stay the same.

    According to the BMI scale, at 5'0" I should be between 97-128, I would be happy at a consistent 120-125. Right before the wedding I was 130 after dropping 5 of the 8 I put on in field school, I will probably get into that range this fall when I'm more active, I will never be below 110 and still be healthy, the range doesn't account for boobage, of which I'm more than blessed...

    I'm 5'3" and I hope to get back to my fit college days of 114. I know it won't be hard to drop the weight, it's only 10 pounds, but the toning up is the sucky part :-P Hahah.

    @Mrs Grape: I figured pregnancy would give me big ones. NO. They didn't get bigger at all. And I gained 65 lbs!

    Funny how we all wish there was something we could change about ourselves.

    @SoontobeMrsA: LoL!  I want some boobs too!  Barely Bs over here... they were affected by my weight gain slightly, but not enough.  Plus, now i don't like the rest of me, LoL, so the weight has to go.

    @SoontobeMrsA: I'm kind of a freak about the numbers on the scale, and I wish I could just get over it. The 5'5/140 thread helped, though. :) I work on it a little bit every day.

    @SoontobeMrsA: It's funny how as women whatever we have we always want to change. I have big boobs and I would kill for small ones. I would love to take the dog for a walk with no bra on and not have fear that I might knock out little kids with my swinging watermelons who are playing on the sidewalk.

    Honestly??

    Im 5'2" and before I started gaining the weight I was 125.

    Now Im over 200. But the same height. 

    Whats silly of me is I had low self esteem when I weighed 125!!! I thought I was fat. But now that I am fat,I think,how in the world did I think I was fat back then??Its amazing how we perceive oursleves,isnt it??

    Ideally, I'd be around 150.  When I weighed that it'd fluctuate by 10 lbs in either direction so that would be great.
