    I'm your height, but my goal is a lot higher. 105 doesn't look good on me,

    Right now I am 160 lbs. It's very high. :/

    My goal : 115-125

    I am 5'3" and around 132 right now. My goal weight is around 120-125. I don't look very healthy any lower than that. Good luck!

    5'3 ..older than all of you :) *cough50cough*.....I'm at 152 now (started out at 165) . I want to get down to about 130 ..that is where at my age I look the best. ( I got down there 5 years ago and then ate it all back)

    I think it depends on your body type. When I was (much) younger, I weighed 122. My "ideal" weight was supposed to be 130. But at 5'3" and 122 lbs. I was still a size 10.

    I am 5'3 and my goal is 130-140. :) I have no idea what I am at right now as I haven't weighed in a few weeks (I am only weighing once a month now) but the last time I looked I was around 190lbs. Started at 222lbs.

    I am 5'3 1/2" and much older than you. I don't go by a goal weight. I want to stay a size 2-4 and I am very happy with that. So for me that means 122 lbs. When I was young and had no muscle, I would weight @110 but I still have the same clothes as I do now. I am so much more in shape than I ever was.

    So in short, I wouldn't focus on a #, I would focus on what your body actually looks like. :)

    I think 105 is too low. I am 5'2". My goal is a body fat% rather than a weight. If online calculators are accurate, 115ish will get me to my body fat goal of less than 20%. Unless you are 13, 105 will keep you looking like a little girl. Dont be afraid to add some muscle!

    Amazing how many of us are 5'3". My goal right now is 130, but if I can get there I may move it down a bit. The last time I weighed 105 was after a few years traveling in South America and having various tropical illnesses, so I don't really think of it as a healthy weight for me. I'm also wondering if your body will tell you at some point that you've hit the right weight and refuse to go any lower.

    i'm 5'2 (& a half lol)"... I currently weigh 130. When I was 18-early 20's, I weighed 114 and I still thought that was fat. Now, I just want to get back to weighing about 120 and toned. I think anything less than that will be too unrealistic for me to maintain.

    5'3.5 and I don't want to go lower than 130. I've been in the 120's and I look ill. You must have a very small frame!

    I'M 5'3"
    I'm currently 148, goal of about 130 ish. Mostly just want to be back in the dress clothes I bought right after I had my 2 year old. I lost all the weight after I had her then when she was about 1.5 I gained about 25# back. I dont know really what happend but I think it was finally my hormones getting straitened out. I don't really care about the number as much as the clothes.

    I'm 5'3" and my current weight is 129 pounds. My goal weight is 120-125. Almost there! If I lost any more than that, I think I would look sick.

    I'm 5'3" and my goal is 140 (maybe 130). It really depends on your body. I actually look good around 150.

    I'm 5'3" and I'm older too. I started at 188 and my goal was originally 135, but when I got there I decided to go to 125. At 125 I wear a size 4-6 and I look healthy. I don't think women my age look very good when they get too thin, Hubby thinks I'm a little too thin right now, but I think he needs a little time to adjust to the new me :)

    I'm on maintenance now, and trying to lower my body fat percentage. I didn't realize I'd still have problem areas when I got to my goal weight, but it gives me something more to work on.

    Im 5'3 and my current weight is 240
    My goal weight is a lil higher for some, its only 160-150.
    I dont like the way I look "skinny" so I only want to get down to a healthy thick weight. :o)

    I'm 5'3" and my current weight is 200 and my goal weight is 160....yeah....getting rid of boobs is hard because thats the first thing to go before I can get rid of the rest of the fat I don't want...lol. I keep gaining like 20 pounds in like two years and then all the pants I bought that are still good don't fit me.... :-(

    I'm trying to get back to working out on a daily basis, but I have trouble making myself go. I enjoy working out, but I don't enjoy driving to work out and I don't have any other access. Plus I like to go with people, but I read the whole time I workout, so going with people is a bit redundant....lol.

    My opinion is that 105 might be just a little bit low, especially with muscle gain. I'm 5' 3", 18 yrs old, with a goal weight of 125. But feel free to add me!

    I'm 5'3", current weight ~190, size 12. My goal is somewhere around 155 (depending on my body fat % when I get toward that weight), and size 6-8ish.

    I'm 5'3" :).
    I started at 140 and lost 5 lbs on my own, lost about 4 lbs so far on here so I'm 131 right now...I'm hoping to get back down to 110, that's when I think I looked the best.

    I'm 5'1" my goal is no lower than 120/125, or no bigger than a size 6. When I was 110/115 I was no bigger than a 3/4, I dont want to be that small again.

    I'm also 5"3! But I have way further to go than most of you. I look smaller than I am, and most people are shocked that I'm over 200. So my goal for the moment is 160. When I get to there, I'll make a new goal. I want health over looks. I've watched co workers and older family members let go and slide into diabetes and that's not for me! I want to live till i'm 100!

    5'1" here -The biggest I have ever been is 178 size 14 short. I am currently 160 and a size 10 I also am looking for a size over a number and my goal is a size 6 which means 140lbs. Short girls have it so rough b/c 5lbs gained can look like 20lbs on us. I was an athlete in high school and still do a lot of weight lifting and am now a beginner runner. I try to be active 5 days a week.

    Stay strong... Do what makes you happy and be honest on your food and exercise logs!
