    Agree with all of the above - start building muscle. You may actually end up weighing more but your body will be more compact and smaller.

    As others have said, you have a really cute bod as is. 125 pounds sounds like a reasonable healthy goal to me, but I wouldn't worry overmuch about the number on the scale.

    I'm gonna agree with the majority and say you look really good. I wouldn't focus too much on losing pounds as I would my body comp. look into some lifting and see what you like :)

    You look great! Now because you asked I'll share my thoughts, stick to toning and don't worry about pounds. As later in life this gets harder......tone your arms and shoulders and add in some squats and lunges for more leg tone to even it out. Seriously though don't overthink this.

    I'd forget weight and pick a more interesting goal, maybe it's to develop an athletic physique, develop strength, run a marathon or compete in some kind of sport. Then eat and train towards that goal. That should keep you going for the next 20 years. ;)

    Honestly you look great. I would consider lifting weights over trying to lose more pounds.

    This! You look great at your current weight but I guess you could work on composition if you wanted something to work on. I'm always amazed at how different people look at various weights. I'm 3 inches taller than you and 10 pounds lighter. Most people at your height don't look so slim at that weight. You carry it VERY well. Lookin' good. :drinker:

    You look amazing girl! I would love to have a body like you. That being said, 125 wouldn't be unhealthy, so it's up to you. Personally though, I would focus on your fitness and not your weight at this point.

    I think you look pretty great right now too! I'd say 10lbs, if you must/want, but otherwise weights will definitely help change and "tone" your shape.

    you look great!! I'd go for 15 to 20 pounds for your height. You'll look leaner and be a show stopper.

    I agree that you look great the way you are. You can just enjoy being you. Do the things you enjoy (whether that's the gym, hiking, biking, etc.).

    You look good as you are, but I understand that you want to look even better, probably close to a fitness model. I suggest you slowly lose 10 lbs and see how you look at that point. If you don't look sufficiently lean, then take the other 6 lbs. Needless to say you need to do strength training the whole time, and flip to eating a surplus after you reach your goal weight so you can begin building some muscle, to get that 'toned' look.

    You're so young and beautiful. Please don't diet. Just do everything you're doing now and start lifting weights. That's it. No other changes.

    Here's a challenge for you, OPer: can you ADD 10lbs to your current weight in muscle?

    at the risk of feeding yet another already-hot woman's ego... you look great. Tone up some if you want to look even better. put your scale back in the closet, you don't need it.

    I think you look fantastic right now. I am wondering if you weight as much as you do because you are mostly muscle. I am a bit taller than you and weight less but believe me, I don't look as good as you do. You probably have a low fat percentage already so I would maintain at this point or if you want to lose more, I would say no more than 10 at the very max.
