Mine is 120 because that's when I felt best about myself physically, looked my best (going back to photos), and maintained a good balance between being slender and curvy. At one point, years ago, I was 105 lbs, and that looked horrible -- like a bobblehead doll.
Mine changes every week. I'm thinking 123 or so. I'm pretty sure the lowest I'd go would be 120, of course depends as 135-150 I look the exact same/same size. It takes about 15lb to drop 1 size .
Same here, but mine is because I gain weight perfectly evenly all over my body. I can easily wear a size 7 at either 120 or 140 because I've gained about 2" all over. Unfortunately, the extra inches are flabby and my body fat shoots way up (from 24% at 120 to 31% at 140).
I just picked 50 lbs. down, plus it is in the "normal" weight range for my height. I won't really know till I get closer, of course, but it seems like a good goal to shoot for.
I picked 140 because that's what I weighed when I started college - of course I thought I was fat then, but in retrospect I looked great! It's also a healthy weight for someone of my height.
I also picked it because it seemed doable. When I get there I may re-evaluate and try to lose an additional 10 lbs. We'll see!
I set mine at 150 because it was exactly 50 pounds from my starting weight. It's still over weight for me but I don't remember the last time I was below 170 so I thought it'd be a comfortable number.
I'm now thinking I need to be closer to the 130 mark. I am trying to change my goal to like a size 6 or 8 instead of a weight because I'm losing inches faster than I can lose the weight anymore since I workout so much more.
I guess I just started there and I trust that I'll just KNOW when I'm where I need/want to be.
110lbs isn't my end goal, its the beginning. I picked that weight because its the maximum healthy weight for my height. When I get to that point I will switch from trying to lose weight to seriously trying to build muscle (if i can ever stay well for more than a few days at a time!!). Then I will go from there. I may end up weighing less...I may end up weighing more. Before I started gaining I was 85lbs but I had NOO muscle so I can't really guage where I want to be on where I have been before. I may not get exactly where I want due to chronic illness but I'm trying anyway. I sure won't get there if I don't even try.

My INITIAL goal weight is 215--- this is the weight I got down to 6 years ago when I met my now-husband--- and I felt MEGA sexy and super hot--- the first time in my life I got REAL attention from men---
I was wearing a 14/16 and was happy---- but if it's easy to get down to that weight, I'm not against losing more--- 180 is my "healthy" weight according to weight charts--- not sure if that's really possible. Would be EcSTATIC with 190 and a size 12...
I picked my goal weight of 140 just to get me into the normal zone on the BMI chart. I'm a muscular person so we'll see how it goes, I would really just love to be in a 10 or especially an 8, but I don't know what weight that is for me.
112 was the weight I was up until I got through Basic Training.
I was at the peak of ballerina fitness, and I have a feeling that the lighter I am the less my arthritic knees and ankles will bother me, so im shedding this weight as fast as I can.
my goal weight always used to be about 140-145. that was because the last time i weighed that much i was about 14 years old. i thought i was fat then, and started yo-yo dieting, which i think led to me being overweight in the long run because i developed bad eating habits. also that weight is at the high end of my healthy weight range.
but i recently re-evaluated my goal. i realized that the only reason i didn't have a lower goal weight was because i never thought it would be possible to reach it! but after i started losing weight, it occurred to me that it actually is possible. so i lowered my goal to 135. i don't remember ever being that size.
but if i get to 145 or 140, and i like it, i'll stay there. and if i get to 135, and think i could stand to lose 5 more, i will.
I was a comfortable 105-110 during my "bikini seasons" in high school, so I added 5 pounds per decade (ha!) and it seems that about 115 is OK for me. It probably wouldn't hurt to lose a little more and actually be able to wear a bikini again, though I can't see that happening without an ungodly amount of working out!
I've changed mine a few times. The first one I had was 148 because it was under 150. I lost most of my weight, and thought about getting lower but had trouble getting and staying below 150 so I stayed in the 149 to 154 range for awhile. This year, I redeciated and lost more. My official goal was 138 but I've been slightly under it.
One goal I has is to get my waist to 27 inches. I have less than an inch to go.
I'm thinking 123 or so. I'm pretty sure the lowest I'd go would be 120, of course depends as 135-150 I look the exact same/same size. It takes about 15lb to drop 1 size .
