The lowest I have ever been since age 15 was 180, so like you courtnie, holly and lydia I don't know what it's like to be thin! (I am 5' 1'' so 180 is still alot).. So now, although it will be a while, but I am really excited about going below 180.. I am not sure how will I look thin, since I have never been, that's why am targeting 130, which I think should put me in size 12, which to me would be great!
My thin weight is 160. I WAS down to 160 2 summers ago - and right now I'm at 172. Don't get me wrong, i'm MUCH happier here than had I gained back ALL my weight...but I just want 160 back. That's where I was happy. I was a size 9/10 and had no complaints. (now i'm a 12 again)
i'm with you, teahoney... I can't ever remember being thin before... I went from being a child to being FAT!
I think when I get down to even 170, I'm going to start to feel slim again. I started at 233, and after i lost 20 pounds, I kept thinking "when am i going to start to feel slimmer?" The good news is that I am starting to feel it now (at 195-196) My "skinny" jeans from my 15 pounds ago are starting to slide off my hips all the time, so I've had to buy new clothes! I'm starting to notice it myself, which is GREAT!
I too, have naturally broad shoulders, so I think I'd look a bit strange less than 150. That also goes along well with my current lean body mass, which I'm trying desperately to keep. Skinny may not really be an option for me, but healthy and well-toned is, so that's what I'm aiming for.
My thin weight seem unobtainable. I, like many of you, am pretty short and currently 166. My highest was 180 but my health range is 98-128. 98 seems way to far away to think about so maybe 100-115. I have got to focus on little steps though. First my journey to 155!

I didn't realize that there were so many short gals like me! I'm 5' and am currently at 169. My cardiologist wants me at 125, but all the charts say between 100 - 117. I did get down to 117 seven years ago, but, (don't mean to sound gross) I quit having bowel movements. The doctor said that was to light for my frame, but dang, I loved wearing a size 4! Right now I'm in a 14 and I REALLY don't like it. I think I might start feeling thinner around 140. I found out that my paternal grandmother (I was adopted) was 5' and weighed about 250. Thanks for the genes, grandma! HE HE HE!
once I hit 149....I can feel my hip bones.....and if I'm toned, it's a solid size 8 in pants/skirts. (im 5/5" small frame) thankfully, my boobs usually hang around, but the backfat shrinks so my 36-Cs are on the smallest hook
I think for me it's 130-135. I am almost 5'3" and don't have an overly large frame probably a little on the smaller side but not tiny either. I know for a fact that I would be looking REALLy good at that weight. That's why I have made my goal weight 135
well i'm like 5'3 1/2", built very small ( like i need small or extra small tops) and i basically gained weight on the bottom and thats where i want to lose it, like ontop its really gross cuz my ribs like show through my skin but i have all this flab on my thighs, hips and but. but i dont have a weight that i want to get to i just want to look good and be healthier, but maybe between 105 and 115, cuz i dont want to be underweight.
criminey, I think I'll feel thin if I can just get to 180! I haven't weighed that little since early college! Perhaps I'll change my mind when I get there, but by then I will have lost 115 pounds and would like to reassess.
Imagine that, ladies, I can't even imagine being the weight most of you are now, much less your goals!!!
"My thin again" weight will be 130-135 that would be around a size 4 and being 5'8 a size 4 will be thin for me. I can't wait to buy some size 4 clothes ( I am in a size 8 now)
