    I'm 5'5 and I would think 120 is too low, even for my height (well it would be nice, but I don't have any desire to be THAT mini.) At the moment my goal is 135--and I'd look pretty skinny at that! But each persons body differs in how they carry the weight. So I would say start out with 10 pound goals, and readjust as you see fit. Good Luck!

    A good size is what makes you feel good. I am 5'7", medium build and 120 would look awful on me, i don't want to look like a lollipop. 140 is my goal, i am a size 6/8 at 149 and i don't want to be much smaller.

    No it's not - she might not feel good at 100, 90, 80 ,70, 60

    She is asking for healthy weight for her height

    Loads of charts out there

    I'm 5'4 and I'm going for about 130. But everyone is different. With high muscle mass you could weigh much more and look pretty small.

    I'm 5'6'' and between 125-130. But really at this point it all depends on body fat percentage - not so much the scale.
