    Im like 5'4 and a half....Anyways. I started at 217, currently at 193. I am very hippy, and very well endowed--mine seems high but my goal is like 165-170. I was 175 before, and I looked awesome :). At 193, I am currently in a 30 waist--or size 10. dress size is probably a 12. So I think another 25 lbs will take me right to where I want to be.

    Wow...the different ways women carry their weight and the variance in sizes always amaze me, I'm 5'4" also and approx. 164lbs and I'm BUSTING out of my size 12 pants! And there is NO WAY I could get into a size 10 ANYTHING!


    Im wondering if youre thinking UK sizes and shes thinking US sizes

    Well I'm thinking US sizes, if she's thinking UK sizes that would explain a lot, though this is not the first time I've noted (to myself mostly) that a lot of different women, my height and of various weights wear various sizes of clothing.

    a UK 10 is a US size 6 , and a US size 10 is a UK size 14
    so thinking of a US size 10, I could be that unil I was around 150lbs

    I'm 5'4 and my goal weight is 140. My highest weight at one time was 187. I have small goals and feel great when I meet an accomplishment, 5 lbs at a time.

    i am 5ft 4in... my starting weight in my before pic is 198. I am at my goal weight at 135. Have been maintaining for 5 years. I continue to use this sight to stay accountable and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

    Everyone carries weight distribution differently.. you have to find what feels right for you.. where you feel healthy.

    hope this was helpful. Best of luck!

    I'm 5'4.5 and 118. I really want to be in the 110-115 range because I have a small frame.

    I don't have a clue where *I* want my goal weight to be. at the moment, my eating disorder wants my weight to be 105lbs - I want to recover but lose weight at the same time. I am nowhere near underweight - 167lbs, 5ft 4.

    what is your goal weight?

    Depends on your body composition, how much body fat vs lean tissue you have.
    I'm 5'5" and currently have a body comp of 28% body fat. I'd like to get between 165-170 and maintain the 135 lbs of lean tissue I have. More lean tissue = more calorie burning = more food to maintain!

    Have you ever had this done? According to BMI, my "healthy" weight range is 111-149. If I made it to 149 with maintaining my lean tissue, I'd be 9.3% body fat. Much too low for a woman of child bearing age.


    we are like the same person :)


    I will add you, same person. :wink:

    Hellooo =) .. I'm 5'4" ... current weight: 230 -- yuckkkk ..... My current goal is ~150 and then re-assess. Maybe drop a few more pounds or add some muscle.


    I'd just go with the flow and stop when you feel comfortable. As long as you think you look good and you're health/lab numbers are normal, you'll be fine =)

    Honestly dont go by goal weight , go by body fat , and measurement ...

    ^ this

    I don't have a goal weight - losing pounds is not my focus. I prefer to go by how I feel, how my clothes fit, and what I see in the mirror!

    I'm 5'3" - my goal weight is between 135-140 lbs...I will re-evaluate once I get to 140 lbs (which has been my initial goal since I began this journey August 2012.

    5'4, GW 112-120 (lower end of healthy)

    I've been 130 before and still looked 'big' but then I didn't exercise so I was still all flab.

    I'd be happy with smaller measurements. Last time I was 130 I was 37-27-37. If I can get under that I'll be happy. Maybe 36-26-36 (currently 40-30-40)

    5'4" here~

    Highest weight was around 160. Original goal was 120, but since I've discovered weight lifting, now I'm not so sure.
    I'm currently around 140, hoping to lose some more weight and inches.
    I'd love a 25" waist *__*

    I think it really all depends on your muscular build. I am 5'1", and when I was at my most fit level, I was a lean, muscular 120, but was a size 5/6!

    I'm 5'3 1/2" and my goal weight is 120. I'm usually around 127-130, but after recent health issues, I weighed in at 141 this past Sunday. I plan on competing in a fitness bikini competition later this year, so I believe a toned 120 will be prefect for me, as I carry a curvy figure.

    5' 3.5"

    starting weight, 172
    current weight, 162.6
    goal weight, 130

    If I can get to this point I'll be happy. 125 might be better, but honestly I haven't been 125 since 8th grade. There's no way I'm going lower than that. I don't want to be a twig, just healthy, and less than 125 I don't believe would be healthy for me.

    The avatar is me at 25 and 110 pounds. I'm 5'4" and I have a small frame. As you can tell I don't look thin there. My goal weight is 110 since I still have the small frame and now have diabetes.
