    I'm 5'4 and I think my goal is 150. That may sound higher then some but I got down to 175 before and my husband was already complaining he didn't want me to lose anymore. I liked myself so much more at that weight so I believe I will be thrilled to see 150!

    I'm 5'4", large framed and 60 yrs old. I started March 27th, weighing 235 lbs, and right now I'm just shy of losing 50 lbs. I'm starting to get a lot of loose skin, especially on my upper arms, so I'm going to re evaluate when I reach 160 lbs and see If I want to go further. I need to start weight lifting, but at this point, I'm still trying to figure out what I need to do. If anyone has advise on weigt lifting, let me know. Thanks

    As for weight lifting... I'd either join a gym and meet with a trainer or not join a gym and hire a trainer for a few sessions. The trainer can teach you what exercise are best and how to stand correctly while lifting, etc. And, once you know those things, you can do them at home. :)

    Way to go! I just started this program today. Saw it in Women's world magazine. Shouldn't have started on a day off though! However, so far so good and enjoy tracking the progress through the day and what is remaining in all catagegories!

    I like your idea of getting to 150 and reevaluating from there. I'm 5'4" and currently weight 159 (I've lost about 10 - - 3 since I joined MFP) My goal is 140, but I don't consider myself big-boned. Take it a day at a time and feel GREAT in the process.

    around 122-126... i know i need a "range" not a weight goal because it is impossible to stay at a specific number.

    I'm 5'4 and was told by my nutritionist because of my frame (I might also add I'm a pear shape) that my ideal weight is no less than 160. We shall see when I get there :)
    I will say that I have been fairly close to 160 before and it put me in a dress size 10-12 and pant size 14/16 (again, pear shape). I may go 20lbs smaller but for now I'm shooting for 160

    I'm 5'3" like some of the others who've posted on this blog. I think the best indicator is body fat %. I have a lot of muscle, when I was at my thinnest, when I was in my twenties, I was at 152 lbs and was at 18% body fat. That is my goal now.

    I'm also 5'4" - I went through a really hard time and I think stress did it's toll on my body. I went from 145 to 170. I currently am down to about 161, but I feel stuck here. I run more (can run up to 6 miles now) than I ever have in my life and am eating healthier, but my weight isn't budging. My goal is to be around 140 again which for a bigger frame, is ideal I think (I could be wrong). Any suggestions/tips on what to do?

    I was at 165 when I started - I've been as low as 120, but am now back about 125 due to muscle gain. My body fat % is about 17% at the present time. I'd rather weigh less but that's more a mental thing. I went from as size 12-14 to a 0, and my 0 are sometimes too big. My bra was 38DD - now is a 30B.

    I'm 51yr old and 5'4, I'm aiming for 120-125lbs, I would describe myself as small to medium framed, the weight Im aiming for suits my frame, which would take me to a UK size 8-10! Just another 7lbs to reach my target.

    Ok so I am 5'2 1/2" :) But close enough right!! Right now I a am a depressing 225 which is the heaviest I have ever been!!! :/
    My long term goal is between 135 and 145. A few years ago I got down to 170 before putting it all back on and that is my first goal. Because even at 170 i almost had a flat belly and I did not have a double chin!!! For me my thick legs and arms make up the weight I loose in my torso.

    I've been at 145 before, and that makes me a size 8, which I am totally happy about. I'm big boned, so it works for me! I think you need to pick something that is attainable...I could try for 130/135 to get really skinny, but I think that would be very frustrating for me to reach, and 145 is very comfortable, and svelte on me.

    I'm 5'4 current weight is 210 i started at 264 highest weight a few months before mfp was 286 :grumble: my first goal is to be 199 and out of the 200's . my next goal will be 160 and then i will work on maintaining that weight and less on losing for a while. i will continue to exercise still and eat the same as I do now..

    Hello Im 5'4" and currently about 158

    As you can see on the picture below I originally got down to 138 even though I love that I had lost so much weight I was not happy loosing my "curvs" example bootay and such. Now that does not justify me gaining 20 that really was not planned I just went over board last xmas year and just havent put in much effort since.

    I am jumping back on the wagon and have lost about 2 inches of my waist since lbs I have not weighed in yet but Im planning on giving me til Friday to do so. I have been lifting weights to build muscle not really concerned if I will make it back to 138 but at least 140/145 would be great!

    I am 5'4-1/2" (or at least I was when I was younger -- may have shrunk a bit by now). Anyway, I started out at 246, am now 196 (woo-hoo -- 50 lbs. down), and I would like to reach 150. I think any less weight on me with my frame and my age (almost 56) would probably be too little. Also, I'm not sure how much weight I may end up having in excess skin at this age. My goal is to be to around a 70-75 lb. weight loss by the end of the year so we'll see if I make it with all the fall holidays between now and then. Anyway, this is one of those things that you have to look at your body type and how you feel -- in other words, where do you feel your best?

    Good luck to you in your journey!

    I am 5'3.5, currently 114, shooting for 108-110. I have been that weight fairly recently and I have a tiny frame, so it is a very healthy size for me. Currently my body fat is up at 19, I want to get back down to 17, which is where it was when I was 110 lbs, or even 16%. That's when all the good muscle definition starts showing up for me :)

    I'm technically 5ft 3.5. Healthy range for me is, from what a doctor said is 110-140 but I don't want to go under 135. I don't want to be really small I just want to be like 135-140. 140 is my Goal weight. I'm currently 203 so 63 pounds to go!

    Currently 146 lbs at 5'4" hoping to get to 125 lbs.

    If I don't reach a weight goal - I would settle for a slim figure with muscle at ~135 lbs
