Not sure I was ever "thin" but I remember being about 165-170 and was reasonably happy. I'll be thrilled when I get there! However, I'm pushing for around 150 which is kinda in the middle of the so called "healthy weight" for my height.

I am so right there with you TJac!!! I was 160-165 on my wedding day and that is my favorite picture of me. I looked fit and happy.

I was 155 "before kids"; 165 after last baby was born, so 165 would be my "ideal" thin weight, but realistically 170. I am 5'10", large framed woman, so if I can get to size 14 pants, what ever my weight is at that point will be good for me.

I think 175 would be a place to start. My lowest adult weight was 214. Im not to far off now. I have a friend with the same body shape and height she's at 160 and looks pretty good. Im aiming for 175 and if I feel ok I'll stay otherwise I'll shoot for less.

In my teens and early 20's I was always around 120-125. But now that I'm a little older, I think that would be too thin. In fact, when I was 120-something, people DID tell me I was too thin. So I think 130 would be a good weight for me.

Mine's a physical thing. I want to lose the small chunk of fat I have on my LOWER inner thighs. I assume it's cellulite. Not sure exactly what cellulite looks like, but it's definitely a small bulge. Once those go, or flatten out, I can wear shorts and skirts. I will be sooo happy.

Mine's 135 - the high end of the healthy range for my height (5'2") - since I have one of those "yes my Eastern European ancestors passed on those built-for-really-cold-weather genes" bodies, anything below about 128 is pretty near impossible. I should be about a size 8 there, so I'll be pretty happy.

159 or less is my thin weight. This is where my BMI is 25 and I finally fall into the "normal" weight range. My doctor set my goal at 150 and I am trying to get to 145, but feel it would be easiest for me to maintain at 155. I am 5'7 and have a pretty large frame.

My best and healthy weight is probably going to be around 130-135. I am 5'4" and fairly small frame. At 151, I've lost a lot in my legs, hips, etc. but still have too much fat on my arms, tummy, etc. Heart disease runs in my family, so that's got to go. As of today, I've lost 25 lbs since 2/1 !!!

I feel great at 150, but my goal this time is 115-120. I want to keep off the weight for the rest of my life -- and I don't think I want to settle for pleasantly plump permanantly (which is where 150 puts me).

The lightest I've been was 145 in high school and a pretty solid size 10. I'm hoping to make it down to 140, which is the edge of the "healthy" BMI for my height, and maybe even be a size 8. My actual goal is fit and curvy, which should be attainable.

Ugh why does everyone in the world fit into a size 8 when theyre 160 lbs?!! I have to be 135 at the very most, more like 130 or less to be in an 8. Even people at my same height (5'4" ish) say they fit in it at 150, 160, I even saw 170!! Why am I so cursed. My body dimensions are so unattractive.
