I have quite a small frame, and everyone in my family is tiny anyway, so I think that's about what my 'natural' weight is, if I weren't binging/purging/restricting. I'll see how I feel when I get close, though.
Really I just want to fit into my clothes again.

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?

I am 5' 4" and started at 179 pounds. My goal is 149 because I felt 30 pounds was something good to shoot for but not too overwhelming. When I reach that point, I may decide to go lower... maybe 10 to 20 pounds more. I don't think I will go lower than 125 though. I have weighed less than that and really felt at my best around 125.

I'm 21 years old and 5'3. My current weight is almost 160, and my goal is 140. I also kind of feel like that goal weight of mine is too much compared to the 110s and the 120s being mentioned on here. I've always been athletic in my build and also in my activities growing up. I have a lot of muscle but have gained weight with my ED so a lot of it is hiding under fat.

I'm 5'3" and 250. I wear an 18/20W. I looked and felt best around 135-140...but I think body frame and muscle mass have to factor in! At that weight I was an 8/10 in most clothes.

GW: Once I hit 140, then I'll decide. It very well could be 140.

llynn1976

I'm 5'4 and 154, my goal is 124. I've been as low as 98 and as high as 179.

Call me optimistic, but I think I weigh a lot more than I look like I should - I lift weights and have kind of an athletic-looking (as opposed to slender) frame. I'm 5'4" and 160 - looking to drop about 20 to give me knees a break (long distance runner). I could never be 110 again - it's completely unreasonable for my frame. Be careful when you compare all the 5'4"s of the world ... every body is different (and beautiful!!). xo

5'3.5, ~164ish lbs, regularly lift weights. I think in an alternate universe where I didn't like sugar I could be a smaller size... but ideally somewhere in the 140s. Maybe.

I'm 5'4 and started at around 154 and I'm now 144. My goal is set for 135 but I'd be happy with anything between 140-135. Basically until my UK size 10s (a US 6 I think!) fit comfortably again.

In the last few years my weight has fluctuated big time. I started off at around 160, got as low as 97lbs, maintained that for a few years (I was actually eating 1800 cals a day and exercising lots to get to that weight, as well as following a healthy diet), but binge eating has led me to 140 lbs again (Think I got back up to 150 at one point...). Anyway, I'd like to get down to 130, then perhaps 120-125.

SW: 20st / 280lbs
CW: 13st 1.5lb / 183.5lbs
GW: 10st / 140lbs

That is my initial goal weight - puts me nicely into the 'normal' bmi category (although I know that system can be flawed) and is half my original weight, although I'm going to assess when I get there - may end up going down to 9st / 126lbs, may end up focussing less on weight and more on body comp, may end up happy at 10st, we'll see...

I'm 5'4" and 41 years young. My CW hovers at 128. I have gone lower but it looks really emaciated on me. I think it may be a result of having 3 kids. Our hips spread. My daughter is 5'4" and 115. She looks great but thankfully has no kids yet. Me at 115, no way.

RainDrops930

I'm 5'4, and I weigh around 136.

My goal is 130. 125 is even better, but 130 is a healthy weight that I feel confident at

lynndot1

At just under 5'4" I hover between 128-130 pounds. This tends to be the weight I "sit at" when I don't really pay attention to what I eat, although I do cook 3 meals a day and am pretty poor at the moment so even if I don't "pay attention" to my food I know I'm not overeating because, well, I can't haha. If I had access to whatever I wanted all the time I'd probably have a harder time staying there.

But anyway, my goal weight is around 120 pounds. I am by no means overweight at 130 and fit in my clothes fine, but I would like to get my body fat % lower. Right now I would estimate it's between 22-25% and would like it to be closer to 18-20% which is what I stayed at eons ago as a high school athlete, and back then I was closer to 120.

But I'm not being too stressed about it. As long as I'm not going up I don't care how slow it takes to go down.

5'4" currently weighing 168 and 150 would be optimum for me although I would still be classed as overweight.

What I'd love to get to? Somewhere in the 130's someday. I think I can make it happen, just gotta take the time and realize it isn't going to happen overnight.

Is that you or your daughter in the pic?

Still have lots of belly fat from 3 babies in 4 years, it's not going anywhere. I rarely exercise, mostly just calorie deficit. When Summer comes I'll be more active.

mavers1

I am currently 270, I disliked my body immensely when I was in the 130s, so I'm aiming for 150s. BMI doesn't really work for me, as it never took into account muscle, I was fit and healthy at 150, so that's the goal right now.

Though I'm almost always consistently stuck once I hit 125 lbs.

During my teen years, I used to be around 100 and had issues gaining weight. I always felt myself too skinny. I know that is something a lot of people DON'T want to hear, but it is an issue being underweight too. As I got older, I gained weight. My most happiest was when I was between 110-120, because I didn't look "super thin" or emaciated. I felt good and looked good. I am aiming between 110-120, but I am older now. So, I may feel more comfortable at 120-130. I won't know until I get there.
