    Although it's going to be different for everybody, I'm 5'3", and when I weigh 130# I look good and am between size 2-4 pants depending on the maker. When I get down to 120# or below I start to look like a stick figure.

    Mine is 106, because that's what I've happily weighed for the past ~5 years. In the past year I've gained about 5 pounds and they are NOT leaving.... so I'm close, but not where I like to be. 5 pounds makes a big difference on short girls!

    I'm 5' 10" & I guess anything under 170lbs/78kgs. I don't recall a time in my life I weighed that, so it will be interesting to see how it feels when I get there.

    I always saw my ideal weight, as in, the weight I feel most secure, as 119Ibs, but at 5'10 and at 37, getting to that and being remotely healthy just isn't plausible, so I have settled for the weight I currently maintain which is 126Ibs(9 stone), give or take a few pounds for fluctuations. If I fit Uk size 6-8, I am content enough.

    my ideal weight WAS 125. until i got there and looked sick. too skinny.

    NOW my ideal weight is whenever i am happy with how i look. the scale doesnt define me. it's just a number.

    130lbs looks a lot different on different people...even if they're the same height

    I really don't know, I was about 160 before I had kids, and that is where I was most of highschool/college years. I was 140 at one point in highschool, but no idea what size that was or anything. My goal was 200( made that), then 180( made that), Now it is 160 and I am just a few lbs away, from there I will decide what is next. My pants from right before I had kids are already too big, so we shall see.

    My ideal weight now is probably 5-10lbs more than my former avg weight of 100-105lbs. Seeing as im older and have more boobage lol. Honestly I'm focusing more on BF than the scale.

    No idea - I'm aiming for 125lbs (I'm 5'1) but I've been inspired by people here and I'm going to start lifting heavy - so I don't think the number will be the thing I aim for in the end. Luckily I took photos and measurements when I started this journey so I have more than just weight to measure my progress on.

    Honestly I'd just like to look in the mirror and like my body. :cry: sad but at the moment I don't.

    My ideal is not giving a damn what the scale says.

    At 5'5, I've been happy with - at different times in my life - anywhere between 110 and 150 pounds. Currently, around 130-135 seems to be a good place for me.

    My utimate goal is to be around 140. I cannot remember ever being under 200 so that is a major milestone I am looking forward to. Currently I am 300 and 5'8".

    I agree,...I'm 5'3,...and although 150 is "too much 4 my height"...at that weight people ask if I'm feeling ok!,...I like me around 155-160!....100% natural hour glass,I feel fit & have super flat tummy at that weight!-thats what I'm aiming 4!!
