    I'm 5ft 3 in and my first goal is 155lbs, once I get there I will review as I was 114lbs when I was 18. Looking at body simulators, 114 looks way too small!
  • Height- 5'5"
    SW-220
    CW-214
    Dr's idea of my goal weight-115
    Mine is anything below 140

    I have a very small frame. I can't even claim my weight is due to big bones. lol

    I am small framed too. 115 is really low for 5'5", IMHO and you're definitely in the right to feel out what's right for you.
    115 at 5'5" man!?!?! you know what i call that? the "i love Lucy scale' hahaha
    the doctors idea of healthy goal wt is ridiculous.. MPO
    lol @ big ones..:happy:

    i'm 5'5'' and weight is just under 175......I am 41 yrs. old and want to hit 145lbs. Any tips on how to loose better after age 40? I just had my baby #5 at age 40 and the weight wants to stick around.

    I am 5'5 and my goal is 135-140...I know that is a long road and a good 60-70 pounds but I can do this!! :)
  • My goal is to get to 135-140 pounds. It will take a while, but the pounds have been shedding off with the Atkins program that I'm on, and I've lost 26 pounds in 35 days. I also have gained more muscle mass, and will continue that. Then I will, of course, maintain my weight by exercising a little every day.

    I shrank! Doc just weighed and measured................not quite 5'4". I have not lost weight for such a long long time that I am afraid to make the goal too low fearing that I won't get there. "Loose" goal right now from present weight is 145 - 155.
  • I'm 5'4 and I started at 95kg (209.43lb) at the moment I am 89.2kg (196.65lb)

    My first goal is to get to 65kg (143.30lb) and then see how I feel about myself there. =)

    If I do need to go smaller I think my absolute minimum is 55kg (121.25lb)

    I am 5'4 and my starting weight in May of this year was 190 lbs, I am now at 176 lbs. My goal weight is 145 lbs but I will see as I go along really all depends on how I feel.

    Good Luck to everyone on their weight loss journey! :smile:
  • 5'4" and GW is 125, but I will take anything under 150 at this point.....

    I'm 5'4", and my initial goal is 130. I am currently 142. When I reach that goal, I might want to get a little lighter, like 120-125, but I think it will depend on how much muscle I gain from my workouts! I've been 118, but I had no muscle tone and I don't think I was very healthy. So once I reach 130, I'll just listen to my body and go from there! Good luck to everyone, and feel free to add me as a friend!

    I am 5'4" and an very blessed in the chest area due to having my son. So Im not quite sure what will look right on me. Idealy I want to be at 125-130 with muscle. It just even now at 157 and size 36E chest I am starting to look a little top heavy. I have no idea how to fix this problem. Any suggestions would help greatly. :)

    I am 35 years old, 5'4" and currently 187 lbs. I was 220 at my heaviest and in the two teens when I started this journey on MFP. I haven't set an exact number but I think some where between 125 and 130. If I like where I am before then I feel healthy and confident I will stop. If I get there and feel the need to go further, I'll reevaluate. This isn't so much about a number or a size for me as it is being healthy. I got busy and let myself go and was running the risk of several family health issues. A heredity heart issue was a wake up call and my husband who started this journey before me my inspiration. He got me started.

    My goal is 130 for now, i think i was in grade 7 when i was that tiny. i do have a decent amount of muscle right now and large boobs so i know that i may be happy being above 130, or want to lose more. im open to cganging my goal weight.

    You can do it! I was a bit heavier than you when I started and close to your height. I've lost down to 187 and feel great. I've been at this around 95 days now. I just wanted to encourage you. I know how easy it is to get discouraged. The day I climbed on the scales and was hundred 200 I nearly cried. Let me know when you get there and I will do a happy dance with you :bigsmile:

    I was trying to respond to Amy H724 not sure what I did wrong. Hmmmm

    I'm 5'4$" and my GW is 120-125, I'm currently 139. But as some have said, I wanna see how I feel and definitely don't want to lose too much.
