5'4" what is your goal?

Options
I'm just wondering as I'm nearing my first goal of 140 and wasn't sure what a good weight to go for was?

    It depends on your frame and your fitness goals. If you're trying to get athletic and muscular, you'd shoot a bit higher than someone that just wants to slim down. The healthy range listed on this site for a 5'4" woman is anywhere from 107-145. So 140 would be in the healthy range, but you also have to take bodyfat% into consideration b/c even in a healthy BMI it's still possibly to have an unhealthy bodyfat%.

    Anyway I'm 5'4" and my final goal is 125 b/c that's nicely in the middle of the healthy range and I felt it was realistic and not extreme for me based on my past experiences. Different people can have different goals. I'm only 7 lbs away from my goal weight but I feel like I need to focus more on lowering my bodyfat and less on the number on the scale at this point.

    I am 5' 4" and when I first joined the gym and met with the personal trainer, I was given an optimal weight for my height and age as 133lbs. That is what I am working towards.

    I'm 5'4, and my goal as of now is 140, but anywhere from 110-140 is a good weight for this height. When I was in high school I barely hit 120 and I was happy at that weight, but even at 140 I was happy and healthy.

    I am now at 206. I am normally 149 ( which is the highest the doctor will let you go at my height 5 foot 4.5 inches). I was always in great shape and excellent health at that weight. My goal is to get down to 140-145 so I have room to play with. MFP suggest I be 145. When I drop below 140 pounds my head looks way to BIG for my body. Anyway, I am also concerned with my size probably more than my wieght.
    Good luck

    Well I want to get to 140 first. I am 186 today. As I get a little closer to my goal I will re-evaluate.

    I'm 5'4" and went from 193 to 133 in a year. Now I'm at 130 and still losing a pound every 2 weeks or so, but losing inches like crazy! The fat is still coming off but I'm replacing it with muscle almost pound-for-pound. I think I will probably "bottom-out" at 125 or so, based on how much strength training I do.

    I'M 5'4" and small boned. My goal is about 107 and I've skyrocketed up to 120 the last few years. I'd like to lose 10-13 lbs but would settle for losing inches.

    I'm 5'4" and am shooting for 128. I'm currently 138, it seems like those last 10 pounds are the hardest to lose! I think anywhere from 115 to 145 is a good place to be :)
