I'm 5'7" and I'm aiming for 140. I don't know if I have a weird body or what, but to me, 140 is even a little bit chubby. Last time I was that size, I think I was around a size 12 and I distinctly remember having fat rolls. It seems like a lot of people my height are aiming for a higher goal weight than I am, which makes me wonder. I think some people may carry weight better than I do. Or maybe I have a small frame or something. I've noticed that quite a few of us have a goal weight that puts them at a BMI of 30+.

So I guess my question is not so much what your goal weight is, as how you decided what it would be?

As I've never been thin (at least since I was 5 years old), I don't have any idea what is "normal" for me... no clue at all.

However, I found a pretty good link that you may want to check out.

I have just started this journey. I have scheduled a seminar for the 21st of this month and I will move forward from there, I know I have a lot to do and I sure hope that I don't get discourged...Anyway I'm 5'9 and my goal weight is between 145-150 I know not a broad scale but one I hope to see in the near future.
