    I'm a touch under 5'5".
    Started 123
    Current 116
    Goal 113

    Aggressive, perhaps, but I'm thin-boned. Always had a runner's physique.

    Hoping that at 113 I may achieve the following:
    - lose belly pooch
    - lose saddlebags
    - lose "crotch biscuits" (anyone read Tina Fey's "Bossypants"? That's her hilarious name for the inner thigh fat-triangles)
    - see my abs. Just 2 of them? Maybe? Please?

    If I achieve those things but add pounds of muscle I'm happy. Low body fat %, strong muscles, strong bones, and cardio fitness matter infinitely more to me than the number on the scale.

    I'm 5'2 but I have a very small frame. I'd like to get back around 100 or 95. I'm somewhere around 112 right now.

    5'3.125, but if I feel confident before then, I'll probably maintain whatever I weigh.

    I am 5'3 and my goal is 145. I have a large frame and I am muscular and plan to get more muscular. I am a long way from my goal weight, and it may change as I am nearer to the goal, depending on how I feel.

    This is me exactly!

    My goal is 118-120#. I would take 125# if it was muscle (and low body fat).

    Currently, I am 127# with 25% body fat. My current exercise focus is strength training to boost my metabolism and lower the body fat percentage.

    I'm 5'6, goal is 125 or 130. I've never been overweight and am not too far away from my goal but mostly I'd like to be toned/muscular so I guess it's more about my measurements than the scale!

    I am 5'4" and 3/4"...

    SW: 149 lb
    CW: 133 lb
    GW: 125 lb

    Hopefully, I'll be a bit closer to my goal after 60 days of 'Insanity'. GULP!

    I am 5'3". My goal as of right now is to be under 200. I would be sooo happy with 199. I haven't been that in seven years. After that, goal is 150. Right now, I'm about 230. I have huge boobs, a huge butt, and a thyroid that doesn't work. But I'm on my meds, taking it one step at a time, and lost 5lbs in less than two weeks on MFP. :)

    5'4''
    HW: 135
    CW: 118
    GW: 108 without muscle mass, 112 with muscle mass

    I have a very small frame.
    Last year I was able to get down to 110 but I did it much too quickly and gained 10 lbs back in a little over half a year. I gained it mostly throughout the winter season and a high stress time at work.

    I am 5'4" and originally was thinking 135-140, BUT then my husband I am seperated from who has a girlfriend announced to me that she thinks she's fat because she is at 130 and can't seem to lose weight (boohoo). So I know you're suppose to lose weight for yourself but just out of spite I would like to be 129 ;)

    Don't let someone else's distorted body image affect you. Hopefully you'll be able to see what looks and feels healthy for you and your shape when you get near your goal.

    I know when I was thin before at 143 (5'4 3/4") that I was too thin. I look at those pictures and cringe at how unhealthily thin my face, neck, arms looked. I would like to be around 150, I think. I'm very busty (and stay that way when thin), and have muscular legs that only get so thin and there's no more fat there to lose, so below that I don't look right. At about 150 you can see my ribs!

    I was so glad to find this thread because I was curious myself.

    I haven't been below 140 since the 6th grade (pathetic, I know... that's why I'm here). Did research, measured my wrists, etc and settled on 125 as my goal weight. So glad to see others have the same!

    I'm 5'3" CW 137 and GW 120-125. I want a lean healthy body. The scale will not determine the final number how I feel and look will determine my final number.:smile:

    I am 5'4" and my goal is between 130-145 lbs. 135 looked good on me when I was in high school but that was a looooong time ago.

    I'm 5'5" CW 180lbs GW 135 However, I've got a larger, muscular build so I'm not so sure I could get there in a healthy manner. I have a feeling that will change as I lose weight and see what my body looks like. I'm definitely more interested in just being healthy and having a lower body fat %.

    It's nice to see this post and to see what other women are looking for!

    I'm 5'4" and my goal is 125. a little over a year ago i was 128. Now i'm 146..gah! Just went to the "overweight side of the BMI calculator : ( . I remember when I was 128 i felt like i needed to lose some weight. Ever see the quote " I wish I was as skinny as i was when I thought I was fat?" hahaha.

    I am 5'5 and currently at 150. My goal is 145. Anything less than 145 makes me look sickly

    I'm 5'4" and my goal weight is 140. I think I would look awesome at that weight :D I can totally do it, I know it. I also have a sort of muscular build so I think 140 is perfect.
