    I would love to see 120 ultimately. Lowest I've gotten to was 140 (from 190).. back around 175-180 again. I am my own worst enemy!

    Dang. I think I must be the only one that wants to get between 136-140... Personally, I like my T & A :drinker:

    Edit: Do not want to offend people. I am not saying that those under 136-140 don't have T & A...

    I'm BARELY 5'2" and I weigh 166 now, I've lost 2 pounds since I've joined and the last weigh in I had was on Saturday. My goal weight is 108, but I'll be happy at 115 - I'm usually not as tired and my metabolism has kicked into gear and I can usually, for the most part maintain when I get there. I'm focusing on meals right now and hope I can start either TF or P90x. I'm really short and I know I have a small frame. It's the midsection for me, waist and lower abs. Damn the lower abs. I'm committed to getting lean abs that I never even had in HS when I was 112. I'm finally doing something for me. Feel free to friend!

    I started at 135, at 126 now and would like to lose another 3-5 lbs in time, but focusing on toning and firming now, so right now focusing more on the measuring tape than the scale. Through most of my adult life I was between 105-115 but since having my last child and my body shape shifting all around, I wouldn't want to drop below 120. And I am 5' 1.25" and very pear shaped

    Am 5'1" and my goal weight is 115 pounds! Currently 153. The great thing about being short is that even a small amount of weight loss makes a huge difference!

    I'm 5 feet 1/2 inch and my goal is 105 I like the way I look at 105. I have a small build and it's reasonable for me I am at 120 in my profile pic slightly under that right now and I still have a gut. I have gone as low as 95 lbs when I was a vegetarian and looked much too thin.

    I'm closer to 5'2" but my goal is also 130. It's where I looked and felt my best and, frankly, I really like being able to fill a bra and swing my booty:)


    LOVE THIS!!!!! you go girl, I totally agree!! :happy:

    i have a larger frame, at least i think so. My chest is a DD and has never been smaller than a D my adult life. I have wide shoulders. I am 32 and my goal is 120-130. I am currently at 153 or so, and i don't care exactly what that final number is. I want to get to 130 and then focus on strength building and how i look and feel (doing those things now too) and no more scale at that point as a determining factor.
    Once, in high school, i weighed 115 or so and i was almost too thin. I think i was "skinny fat" as well, meaning i was not necessarily fit (except my legs from riding bike) and i was not toned.

    ^^^ this is me!!!

    I am 5 feet even and I started at 161lbs and right now am 151lbs – my current goal is 135lbs – hope to lose this before May 15!

    Currently a 12/14 (UK). 12 around the stomach, but having to wear a 14 and a tight belt because my thighs haven't caught up (or down?) with the rest of my body. That's at 156.

    Edit: That's 10/12 US apparently.

    I'm 5'2", currently 100, my goal is to maintain between 100-105. I'm concentrating on strength training, so, if the scale goes up a little, I'm okay. I have a small frame and small boobs(A). I usually where a size 0 or 1.

    You are looking fab in your pic and it's pretty much where I would like to be. I just wondered what strength training you are doing/recommend? I am doing weights (light at the mo) and core Pilates strength like the plank (working hard to improve the lower abs after 2 babies) and am wondering where to go from there?

    As a lot of people have said it depends on your build. I am currently around 5' 1" and 150lbs. My doctor recommended getting down to around 135lbs.

    Try these tools, put all the results on paper and take a look. Then decide, and re-evaluate as you go.

    I'm 5'2 sitting at 116 now from my highest of 125... My lowest was around 98 but that was in the midst of a raging ED... so from past times I feel that my body is happiest hovering around 108.

    I'm 5'1" and currently 129.8 (finally under 130!). I started at 140. My goal is 105-115, just depends on where I'm at when the line from my waist through my hips gets smooth. I have a short torso so all the extra weight is squished into a smaller area and that makes it even more noticeable. Add a strong genetic tendency to high cholesterol and the extra padding has got to go. I was 119 a few years ago and still had a bit of a spare tire. I was working on toning and then I got a desk job and it all went to hell.

    I'm aiming for 120. Started on 174. Currently on 156.

    We're in the same place! I started 173, am 156, and have a current goal of 115-120. :)

    I've never actually been at an ideal weight in my entire life, with my thinnest at 115-120 (and slightly pudgy) when I was a teenager. So I figure that's as good a place as any to aim for now.

    I am naturally very tiny, so even though I'm a little over 5'2" and 106 lbs, I still have quite a bit of belly fat, and I don't have any muscle tone. T.T so I've been doing a lot of strength training lately so I can work on that last 3 inches of belly fat and have that flat tummy I've always wanted. ^_^
