    I am 5'4" and currently at 196. Highest weight before getting on here was 204. My goal is 150. I'd be happy even with 160. I was 135 when I graduated basic training for the Air Force and I looked sickly skinny...not because it's a bad weight...but because I think I fall in to the bigger framed category as well.

    I'm 5'4, started at 175 (highest was 180), and currently weigh 158. I will be so happy to reach 150, ecstatic to hit 140, and if I reach my goal of 135, I'll probably start to cry!

    I've been stuck at 158-161 for months now though. Tried eating more, eating less. I've tried exercising more. Next attempt to break this plateau is New Rules of Lifting For Women! Here's hoping it works!

    My starting weight at 5'4 was 193. Right now I am about 160. My ultimate goal weight is 145, but my "vanity weight" is 135.

    I am 5'4". I started at 196.5, I am currently 159, my "soft" goal is 130. I call it soft because I've never been near that small at my adult height, so I have no idea how I'll look and feel when I get there. So that goal might raise or lower once I start getting closer to it.

    My aim was to get my BMI in the normal range which was a 10kg loss.

    Have lost a couple (roughly) so far within a month, so heading in the right direction

    I'm 5 ft 4 and I weigh 372lbs =( my goal weight would be 200lbs because I don't want to be skinny but much much healthier than I am now!

    I'm 5'4, highest weight was @ 183 right after having my son. Goal Weight is 115. I'm 123.5 right now, dropped to 104 last summer after the hubs left the kids and I--that was not a pretty sight.

    I am 5.4-5.5" (when I stand up tall :)) and my goal weight is 127lbs (currently 136 lbs). Like you, I am very petite (small boned) so high 120s is best for me. As a side note, I started at 192lbs 11 months ago (the day I delivered my 3rd child).

    I'm 5'4", and my weight loss goal is to be 135, but in high school I was 105, which would be good too. I'll settle for 145 if I can't lose any more than that. Right now I'm at 173. (I started at 208).

    I am also 5'4 and was around 105 in college (high school under 100, but was really thin). I know I felt my best between 105 - 110. I went from 125 - 120 last year and have been hovering between 120 - 122 most of this year, when all of a sudden I dipped below 120 and have been between 119 - 120 the last month or so. The fact that the lbs are not coming off despite a pretty healthy diet and lots of exercise tell me this is probably where it's going to stay. I would like to get more toned in my upper legs and core, losing more weight is a nice to have, but trying to stay realistic! 115 would make be darn happy, still trying to get there but not beating myself up if it doesn't happen.

    I'm 5'2 and I currently weigh 143.5. I have always felt the most comfortable with my weight between 125-130. Anything less than that and I start to look skeletal.

    5lbs per inch over 5 feet... so... 5'4" is 120lbs... somewhat old school, but, it works I guess...

    5'4" (5'3.75" technically I guess) started around 177 and am now at about 167.5. I'd like to get down to 135 but I know it wilol be hard for me to maintain there. I'm going to aim for between 140 and 150.

    I am aiming for around 145. That's where I feel best. For me that's a size 8.

    I'm 5'4".
    SW: 270
    CW: 187
    GW: 130-140
    I can't remember when I weighed 130-140! I am trying to make mini goals for myself. The last one was under 200 now it's 175. Trying to do the mini goals in 20-25 pound losses. I started MFP mid Jan 2012. Even at 130-140 I don't think that is the correct weight for me since alot of charts say 120 or less but I can't imagine myself ever only weighing 120!
    Good luck to everyone and keep up the hard work!

    I'm currently 137lb after losing 6lb. I want to get down to 117lb or 115lb again. I gained around 20lb or 25lb after an accident two years ago. I'm still in the healthy BMI range but my family noticed that I was putting on weight and were concerned. BMI: 23.5 at the moment.

    I'm 5'4. My start weight was 224lbs, my current weight is 194lbs. My Ultimate goal is 124lbs (really for bragging rights to say I lost 100lbs) but If not that low, 135lbs is where I want to be.

    I'm 5'4". I currently weigh 215 (down from 235, yay!!), and my goal is 125. I chose that number because it would put me in the exact middle of "healthy BMI." I would be happy with 130, but I will have to wait until I get close to that size to see if it is attainable.

    Why not just be where you are comfortable at being? I am 5'1, the chart says i should be like 110-120. I got to 135 before and i was small as heck. Size 4/6. I looked too skinny for my taste. I am okay with 140-150. And that may be because i lift weights. I really don't go by the chart, just what i feel comfortable at. But not obese. lol. I know i am 5'1 and so this isn't my thread but i guess i just want people to feel comfortable with their bodies no matter the size and then the scale number won't matter as much. The chart sizes are crazy, we are real women and real women have curves. Just my thoughts. Have a great one!

    My first goal was 150, then 145, then 135. Always in my head I thought, "I'll look too thin if I go any lower", but when I got to goal I clearly could do better.

    I'm at 131.8 today and shooting for 125. I will definitely stop when my body fat hits 20%

    My highest weight was 252.
    My current weight is 149.
    My ultimate goal weight is 140.
    I wear a 6-8 (US).
