    I'm 5'3.5", and 6 years ago I started at 122, stayed at 115 for a while, then down to 105, and lowest weight was 102 (which was when I started lifting weights, eating more and gaining muscle). I have now maintained at 110 for 2+ years now, and this weight looks the best on me. I'm relatively muscular, 17% body fat, and wear a size 2 or 3-4 juniors. I think it is perfect. I'm also petite, small boned, wrist, etc..

    I am at my UGW of 112 but I dont care if I go up as I am doing weight training and it isnt really about the number on the scale but the way I feel in my clothes =)

    I would LOVE to be 110lbs, but realistically I probably should aim for 115-120 as I am closer to 5'4".

    Also, I had this big plan to be 110-115 lbs by my wedding in June, but I already bought a wedding dress a few months ago at 134 lbs. I am afraid if I lose more than a dress size, my dress might be too expensive to alter.

    We will see how it goes though!

    I have an ultimate goal SIZE of 6. I used to be a size six 5 years ago and the weight sneaked up on me very slowly... I'm now a 10 (or a 12 depending on the brand, but for this I'm going off my jean size at the Gap) but hoping to be down to 8 by June and to 6 by the end of 2012. I don't care how much I weigh as long as I can be that small again. I think back then I was around 130-135 but I was pretty flabby since I never did any strength training. I lift weights now on top of cardio so I might put on some muscle weight. I'm trying to focus less on the scale and more on my measurements/how clothes fit me.

    I've been overweight for so long that I'll be psyched just to get down to 160! I'm 172 now.

    same here - i am working towards getting back to a size 6 (when i was a 6 i weighed about 145). it's more about how i look at that size than what i actually weigh bc even though i'm 5'3 i carry weight well (meaning i don't look like i weight as much as i do at the time, which is both a blessing and aggravating bc i dont think about what i weigh)

    Great goals, but please realize that sizes today are 1-2 sizes bigger than what the were even 10-15 years ago.

    129lbs, but I'd be happy with anything under 135!:smile: (I'm 5ft2)
