    5ft1 here! My goal is 112lbs but all depends on how i feel when i get closer to it! As to whether I stop and maintain before that or after. I'm gonna go with how i feel :)

    I'm 4'10" with a med/large frame (pretty sure it's med. though), and currently 125.6 lbs. I want my UGW to be 115, but I wont complain about the number so long as I look lean and toned :smile:

    I'm 5' with a goal weight of 115. The scale number isn't as important as clothing size for me - my goal is to get back in a size 4 - since thin and toned weighs more than thin & untoned.

    I'm 5'2. Right now I'm 126. My goal is 116. But right now I'm mainly focusing on getting back down to 120.

    I'm 5' petite frame as well. I'd like to be at the low end of a normal BMI which would be around 95 pounds.

    This is a cool "goal weight calculator" based on your desired % body fat.

    I'm 5'2" and started at 180 lbs. My original goal weight was 120, but once I met that I decided to see what 115 looks like because I still had a belly. I gained some back and did 30DS and feel better/look better than I ever have. I mostly chose my goal weight for completely arbitrary reasons: 120 was somewhere near the middle of a healthy BMI for my height and then 115 because I still wasn't quite happy with how I looked. Pretty happy with my weight where it is (around 123) and I think I'm becoming part of the camp "it's-not-about-your-weight" mostly because the more strength training I do - the more results I've seen than dieting and cardio alone. Your question is pretty tricky - it's really a personal choice and what your fitness goals are. It can't hurt to talk to a doctor about it either.

    I am 5ft0, and very petite also... I was wondering the same thing! I'm around 117Ibs which is quite a lot for my size, although muscle weighs more than fat.

    117 is not quite a lot for your size.

    Oh I'm 4' 11" and my goal is between 125 and 130.
