    5'4" and 107 at the moment. I've gained a bit of weight since working from home full time, so slowly getting back down to my original 100 or thereabouts (aiming for around 1/2lb per week) while simultaneously increasing physical fitness (my job basically equates to sit-on-*kitten*-for-eight-hours, so not really conducive to an active lifestyle!).

    I'm 5ft 3 and my goal weigh was 119lb. Whenever I've been under this in the past I've looked too thin, just because when I lose weight it tends to come off my stomach and back so my ribs/hips start to show too much. However, this time since I've hit this weight I've been working out and using weights to get into shape. I've lost another 2lb since then but I don't mind because I'm starting to get the results I want instead of just losing weight.

    I am 5/4 and my goal is 125, my current wt is 133. Started at 170 initially a year ago. Trying to get these last few pounds off is more of a challenge than losing all of this weight thus far.....

    im 4'11" 220 lbs and my first goal is to get back into the 100s. then i plan on getting down to about 120. i dunno if id feel comfortable getting too much lower than that. maybe around 115. is anyone else worried about getting too skinny? my ideal weight is 94-126 lbs. i wouldnt dream of being under 100 lbs. im scared of going too far and not being able to stop.

    Yep!! I am 5'3" currently 129.. hoping to get down to 115 (I may need to re-adjust this number, as I'd like to gain more muscle as well). I haven't been this low since...ummm.. middle school, I think!

    @tamsinwhitfie, I can't imagine myself (we are same height) at 100 lbs..... have you always been this thin?

    I've been light since my teens (it seems to run in the family, too - all the women have virtually identical builds, with very slight frames). I had a brief period in my first year of University during which I weighed around 120lb, which definitely looked and felt uncomfortably large for me!

    It does work in reverse too - generally speaking, when I see people of a similar weight and height, they do tend to appear far smaller than I do in comparison (which is a bit annoying!).

    I am 5'1" and I'm at my goal. I was up to 171lbs, now I'm about 115-120 with normal fluctuations and I got down to 109 temporarily for a photo shoot and will have to do that on occasion if I start competing. It depends on what your goal is, if you want to look good in jeans you can get there at 130lbs, if you want to look good in a bikini then closer to 120lbs. I am judging by my height and what I've accomplished. In general we are all the same bone structure structure compared to others with our height, and especially as women (with no added hormones or steroids) we can only gain so much in muscle pounds. For me my muscle shows because I lost the fat that was covering it.

    BTW I NEVER imagined this was possible for me. The lowest I have EVER weighed as an adult was probably 125 for a very short time when I was 20 or so. I was overweight for at least 15 years even while physically active. I didn't reach the 120's until I was 50. IT IS DOABLE!!!!!

    Edited to add post that I'm referring to:
    It's hard to learn how to diet when you've been thin in the past. I know someone who is 5' 7" who was so skinny as a child she had to drink milkshakes to maintain her weight. In adulthood, her metabolism changed, and she had a desk job. She gained weight.


    Oh tell me about it! I was like the girl with the milkshakes in high school. When you've never had to watch your weight, it's very difficult to switch mental modes. I was in complete denial about how much weight I had actually gained and wow, was that scale a wake up call! It's now my best friend! LOL!

    Haha!!! That was totally ME!! I was very active and ate everything in sight til I was about 23...Then hips, tummy, and thigh fat became a constant in my life :(
