    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.

    I'm a touch under 5'5".
    Started 123
    Current 116
    Goal 113

    Aggressive, perhaps, but I'm thin-boned. Always had a runner's physique.

    Hoping that at 113 I may achieve the following:
    - lose belly pooch
    - lose saddlebags
    - lose "crotch biscuits" (anyone read Tina Fey's "Bossypants"? That's her hilarious name for the inner thigh fat-triangles)
    - see my abs. Just 2 of them? Maybe? Please?

    If I achieve those things but add pounds of muscle I'm happy. Low body fat %, strong muscles, strong bones, and cardio fitness matter infinitely more to me than the number on the scale.

    I'm 5'2 but I have a very small frame. I'd like to get back around 100 or 95. I'm somewhere around 112 right now.

    5'3.125, but if I feel confident before then, I'll probably maintain whatever I weigh.

    I am 5'3 and my goal is 145. I have a large frame and I am muscular and plan to get more muscular. I am a long way from my goal weight, and it may change as I am nearer to the goal, depending on how I feel.

    This is me exactly!

    My goal is 118-120#. I would take 125# if it was muscle (and low body fat).

    Currently, I am 127# with 25% body fat. My current exercise focus is strength training to boost my metabolism and lower the body fat percentage.

    I'm 5'6, goal is 125 or 130. I've never been overweight and am not too far away from my goal but mostly I'd like to be toned/muscular so I guess it's more about my measurements than the scale!

    I am 5'3". My goal as of right now is to be under 200. I would be sooo happy with 199. I haven't been that in seven years. After that, goal is 150. Right now, I'm about 230. I have huge boobs, a huge butt, and a thyroid that doesn't work. But I'm on my meds, taking it one step at a time, and lost 5lbs in less than two weeks on MFP. :)

    5'4''
    HW: 135
    CW: 118
    GW: 108 without muscle mass, 112 with muscle mass

    I have a very small frame.
    Last year I was able to get down to 110 but I did it much too quickly and gained 10 lbs back in a little over half a year. I gained it mostly throughout the winter season and a high stress time at work.

    I am 5'4" and originally was thinking 135-140, BUT then my husband I am seperated from who has a girlfriend announced to me that she thinks she's fat because she is at 130 and can't seem to lose weight (boohoo). So I know you're suppose to lose weight for yourself but just out of spite I would like to be 129 ;)

    Don't let someone else's distorted body image affect you. Hopefully you'll be able to see what looks and feels healthy for you and your shape when you get near your goal.

    I know when I was thin before at 143 (5'4 3/4") that I was too thin. I look at those pictures and cringe at how unhealthily thin my face, neck, arms looked. I would like to be around 150, I think. I'm very busty (and stay that way when thin), and have muscular legs that only get so thin and there's no more fat there to lose, so below that I don't look right. At about 150 you can see my ribs!
