    Depending on your build, probably around 110-140 lbs (roughly). I'm just under 5"4 and currently between 120-125 lbs. Aiming for 110 as I have a small frame.

    I think BMI is a good tool for most people, and the best tool when no other information is provided.

    My goal weight is 121 - 128 pounds. I'm there.

    I am 5'3" 34yo, My goal right now is 125 (currently at 130), but I might reassess and drop my goal to 120. I still have some extra inches around my belly and hips I want to lose.

    It depends on frame and age. I am 42 years old weighing 146, I wear a size 4. 15 years ago I weighed 120lbs and wore a size 8. Therefore, I am not committing to a number on the scale. I feel strong and fit and thin, so if I lost nothing more I am good!!

    I'm shooting for 130. I was almost there a few years ago (then life happened and I got even fatter then I had been) and I was wearing mostly size 6-8 clothing, which I was quite happy with.

    I'm 5'4". I think I'm chunk at 144 but "healthy". For me, under 128 is not so healthy...just because my body fat % gets low there. This can really depend on your physique/body composition.

    I feel the best around 133

    I bounce around 125-130 (until recently been trying to recomp, but not focused). Currently working on getting down to 115-118 to see how I like it.

    I look humongous at anything over 110 and try to keep around low hundreds. Fine bones and 5'3"

    I honestly don't believe in a set number because everyone carries their weight differently. I'm 5'3 and I looked my best at 145. Anything under that made me look too sickly.

    My goal is 125-135lbs on my 5'3.5" medium frame. Scale number matters less to me than how I look and feel. 40-50 pounds to go...

    My goal is in the 130s but I don't have an end goal yet. I'm not sure what I will look like. I'm also a heavy weight lifted so I'm willing to weigh a bit more for muscles.

    It would depend on your build. Go for a lower weight in your range if you are small built and a higher weight in your range if you are more muscle or bigger built.

    I hover around 120 at 5'3. Now I focus on lean mass and body fat percentage as opposed to just "weight." I use Bod Pod at the campus Rec center to keep track. They also do VO2 max and RMR.
