    my doc told me between 110-125
    that isn't going to happen because I love my chest and hips lol.. I am shooting for between 150-160 which is considered slightly overweight for our height, but honestly even my doctor said BMI isn't 100% accurate and doesn't take peoples builds into mind.

    I am 5'3. I am 130 now, down from 160. I feel awesome at this weight. I am around 20-22% body fat.

    I'm 5'4 and I start to look good (as in no fat sticking out, comfortable in clothes) around 140, but feel best at 120 (what I am right now).

    When I was younger and in my 20s I was around 128lbs but I know if I was that weight now in my 40's I'd probably look ill lol

    I'm 5'3 3/4" and I'm aiming for 140 lbs. I'm a med/lg frame and usually fairly muscular, so I may stop at 145 lbs. I'll have to wait and decide when I get there though.

    I have taken my shoes and socks off and counted on my fingers and toes... I make that around 10st... and that's what I am aiming for in my targets for normal BMI... which is that weight, give or take.

    I'm 5'3" and I am aiming for 128 right now. I've been 123 and I although I felt great at the time, looking back I looked a little too small, and was eating the same things every day. My body loves to hover around 135. When I was 128 I thought I had a good balance of being able to enjoy eating and was still happy what my body could do and how I looked in the mirror.

    I'm 5'4" and aiming for 112lb. Less and I look scrawny, but I look boxy weighing much more. 112-116lb is my ideal weight (from past experience).

    Im 33, 5'2" (and a *kitten*-butt) and Im aiming for 147lbs. Im 158lbs at the moment with 26% body fat which is in the 'ideal' range but my BMI is just a big fat meanie at 28/29 using this chart https://www.shopholistic.co.uk/view_doc.php?view_doc=53
    Ive been 140lbs at my lightest adult weight and looked AWFUL, all bones and corners so I figured a 7lb 'padding' would look better lol

    I'm 5'3 & currently weigh 137. I was down to 125-127 lbs, but was told that looked too thin - now, that I have put back on a few lbs, I am looking "fuller". New Motto: "Strong is the new skinny!"

    I'm 5'3 and I set my original goal for 129lbs as it was midway between the two extremes of the BMI. Now I'm aiming for 121lbs knowing that I have plenty of fat left (especially around my tummy and hips) and then I'll readjust my goal when I get there.

    I'm 5'3" and my goal is 125lbs but I am going to re-evaluate at 140lbs, my weight range should be 104.4 - 141lbs for a healthy BMI. I want my BMI back in a healthy range but I also want my BF% to be in a healthy range too.

    I'm also 5'3. Started in October 2011 at 290 with a goal weight of 145. Currently 175.

    I talked to my dietician last month about adjusting my goal weight downward and she recommended with my age (58) and my body frame (large), that I shouldnt go below 135. So right now, I'm aiming for the 145 and will evaluate at that time about another 10 pounds.

    I'm slightly under 5'4". I stopped weighing myself a couple weeks ago and really have no plans of starting again. I eat right, stay near my calorie goal, and exercise twice a day. I wasn't seeing ANY movement on the scale and when I did, it was 0.1 down then 0.2 up then 0.2 down. It got really frustrating.

    Anyhow, I was pretty excited that I was able to put on my size 8 jeans yesterday. I'll weight myself again on Dec 31st. My weight goal is 123 right now, but that could change after I weigh myself in Dec depending on how I feel / what sizes I'm wearing.

    I'm 5'4" currently fluctuating in between 165-170. My ideal weight is 135-140. When I was down to 125 people said I looked too thin and I did not feel my best so I think this would be the perfect weight range for me. I'm a medium to larger frame as well and gain muscle mass pretty easily once I start lifting. After 2 weeks of re-introducing weights after my back injury I already saw tons more definition in my back, it was awesome but not for my wardrobe lol.

    i'm 5'4, 140.

    i'm not super unhappy with my body but i definitely have more fat than i want. i eat, and eat well, but don't focus on a number. i am just aiming to gain lean muscle and shed fat, so in the end i may still be 140, maybe 130

    I'm 5'3" and my ultimate goal weight is 110 lbs. I was 133 before having two children but would love to be 110-115 again! I was 140exercising after my second child and I looked really good for 140. That seems like a good goal to me.
