What is Your Goal Weight?

[kbz2002]

When I met my husband I was 150 lbs. I'm 5' 7''. 2 years later we married I was around 165, 7 years later my prepregnancy weight was 180. I had a rough pregnancy was depressed and bedridden... I went to 250lbs.

I am at about 210 now. I like to take my goals small and manageable so I don't get discouraged. Right now I want to get under 200 lbs. After that 190, 180, etc, etc.

Ideally DH and I would like TTC for #2 around dd's 4th birthday (11/11/2011). However I can't see having another child right now with my knees hurting the way they do, and with the risk and problems I had for #1 so I would like to ideally get to around 170 by the time we TTC #2.

I know that's over a year away but I really look long term and I want to lose the weight healthy and with developing great habits like I once had before I met dh (I like to tease him it's all his fault since I married an italian it's been all about the food). LOL... I know it's my own fault.

My prepregnancy weight was 128 lbs, and I'm now down to 120, but I STILL have belly fat, so I want to get down to 115. I did lose muscle while pregnant, so I've started weight training again. If I lose the belly but don't get to 115 because of gaining muscle, I will be happy too.

Oh, and I'm 5'4 with a really small frame.

I actually don't have a goal weight. I haven't a clue what a good weight for me would be. I'm 5'0 and have a pretty large chest. I've always been more curvy (well, in my adult life. As a teen I was between 90 and 105 lbs) and have some hips and butt and want to keep them. I wouldn't want to get to my teenage weight again. I just had a baby last week and gained 21 lbs from the pregnancy and have lost that but would still like to take a little more off and firm up. I actually don't know what I weigh. lol I just asked the nurse to tell me what my loss was when I left. I guess I'll decide where I want to be by how I look and feel.

sounds like we are about the same size.
I want to get down to about 155-165 but most of all I want to feel better, not HATE going out in public, be able to shop w/out frustration & have more energy for my kids I am at about 229 after 10 years & 5 kids

My goal weight is 150. For me that is a size 8/10 and I am comfortable there too. I actually look at pictures of me at that weight and like what I see which is a huge accomplishment. I am 188 now after having DD2 in March.

107 (I'm 5' 3" and petite)--that was my weight before DD1 was born, and I made it back there with little effort about 9 mos after her birth. We're 10 mos out from DD2, and I still have about 10 lbs to go. Am a runner, but having a hard time finding an extra minute with two! Ugh....

I didn't read the previous responses..

I'm 5'8" and just had a baby, so I still weigh 166. I was 143 when I got pregnant and my goal at that time was 135. I don't know if I'll actually hit 135, I'm going more for tone and fitness. I'd love to be comfortable in 8's and mediums!

It looks like Im the biggest mama here. I currently weigh a whopping 275lbs. I am 5ft 6in and wear a size 24 in jeans. I have ALWAYS been big and have no clue at all what it is like to be small. I have been 200 + since 8th grade. I made the decision last night that I am going to do WHATEVER it takes to loose this weight once and for all. My goal as of now is to just get below 200 and then I will go from there. I went out this morning and got a membership to a gym! I hope and pray I can do this!
