    I at at 150 lbs (up 3 lbs from holidays and an injury that has impacted my ability to exercise) .. I am trying to hit 145 first and then I would like to go for 140 .. after that, maintain or small increments.. as long as I don't have to struggle, I can be okay.

    I am very curvy and I like to be around 130. Anything less for me is hard to maintain and I lose energy. My current goal is 135. Being short is hard! :glasses:

    I'm 5'4'' and have played soccer since I was three so I'm pretty largely built. My goal weight is 135 and I feel comfortable there. Not super skinny, but in shape and healthy.

    Im 5'4 and goal is also 130 and then when I get there or closer I will or may reevaluate to 125 , just a question to add on to 5'4 on this thread what is your clothing size for those in the 130-140 range?

    5'4" Currently 233, down 5lbs since Jan 1. Cannot fathom yet being 180 let alone 125, but that's my ultimate goal. I've been 220+ for almost 20 years. Haven't been 125 since middle school. It'll be interesting.

    I'm 5'4" and when I first lost weight (95 lbs) in 2002 I got down to 140 and I was in a size 4! Was probably a little too thin for me. Right now I'm shooting for 145. (I'm 159 currently)

    Funny how everyone's 5'4" bodies are different!

    Just from seeing the weights on here... I am bigger than most our height.... I weigh 263.... in order to not depress or stop... I have a pant size in mind.... I want to wear a size 16 or 18..... I was that size back in HS.... so I figure it is a healthier size...

    I think your goal should not be all about a certain weight. It has to do with how old you are and how you carry the lbs. I don't think you can go back to your weight you were in your 20"s when you are in your 60's.

    My goal is 140. That is what I was before I had kids. I looked and felt healthiest at that weight. At that weight I was able to wear size 6 to 8.

    I'm about 5'4", too. My heaviest was 161 lbs. My first goal is 130 lbs, which is what I weighed in high school. The second goal is 120 lbs. I think if you want lean muscle, 130-140 lbs is a great place to start.

    I have been around 127 for most of my adult life (with the exception of pregnancies and my "mystery" gain to 142 in 2010).

    These days I hover around there, and I'm happy as long as I don't get back into the 130s. I like to maintain 18-20% body fat.

    blessings.

    I'm shooting for 130, but my more realistic goal is 140. My body frame probably wouldnt be able to go any lower than that.

    I've got a goal size/measurements. I'm targeting 8-10. I have a "target" of 160, but its about looks and size for me more than scale. I am 5'4.5."

    My goal measurements are:
    37-38/27-28/38-40. I tend towards somewhere between a busty pear and an hourglass, and I have muscular thighs and arms -- so I know those won't get skinny. I think any smaller and I'd look far too skinny. I have no desire to wear a size 4 or even 6.

    Of course it may turn out a little differently, but when I was approximately 20-25 pounds heavier than my target, I wore a size 12, my waist was ~29 and I was just starting to see quad definition. So based on that it seems like a pretty reasonable goal.

    Hopefully my muffin top comes off first. :)

    I'm 5'4. First goal is 130 and I'll see how I feel when I make it. I'm sure I'll be happy with that.

    125 lb, because it's nicely in the middle of the 110-147 range!
