    right 135lbs

    I'm 5"4 and three quarters :P

    you look fabulous, how long did that take you !!

    I reach my goal weight after about 15 months, but I am getting leaner every day and my stomach certainty didn't look how it does now when I first reached 135. Thanks for your kind words!

    Everyone looks great! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm 5"4, started at 215, down to 199 and hoping to get to 140. Nice to see others who have done it! Feel free to add me.

    I am 5'4.5" and started at 170. I am now at 160. I saw my doctor today who is helping me along this journey and is pleased with the progress I have made. However, when she asked me what my goal was and I replied with 135, she immediately told me that was too thin. REALLY? My current BMI is a 27. She said that is healthy, however, from what I have read, that is still considered overweight. A goal of 135 would make my BMI about 22.5. Wouldn't that be HEALTHIER? I tried to argue, because I know what I have read on many different BMI charts, but how do you argue with a doctor? According to the BMI calculator I used, a healthy weight for me is between 110 - 148. 135 is right in the middle. I am confused. Any suggestions? Along with trying to lose weight, I am exercising and trying to tone and tighten everything, so maybe if I continue with that, my weight may be higher...just not sure. I guess maybe I need to wait and see how I feel at 145. If I am happy with how I look and feel, I guess I will stop.

    WOW!! You look GORGEOUS!!! And your weight is unbelievable. I was just told today, by my doctor, that 135 was too thin for me at my height. Ughhh...

    I'm at about 146lbs now but I still have a lot of flab. As I get smaller I'm just going to reassess, if I like my size I will start strength training more. Do what feels right and healthy for you, you don't have to do what your doctor says. :)

    I'm 5'4", this has been a fascinating thread to read, thank you all for posting. No one has mentioned their goal body fat %?? I want to get to 25% -- I think I will hit that at 150 -- and then I will see what I want to do.
