    I'm 157 the BMI says 146 but I like have muscles so I don't think is a reasonable number for me, I still have to drop some fat right now I'm 23.3% of body fat wish to reach 17% so the valid formula for me is building lean muscles and not become a skeleton, if skinny is nice fit and muscled for me is beautiful !!

    5'3, exactly where I am - 120 pounds. Just more toned and maintaining my athleticism! :)

    I'm 5'5" and I had had 125 lbs in my head as the ideal weight too! Somewhere along the line, I had heard that you should weigh 100 lbs at five feet and 5 lbs for every added inch after that. Interestingly, 125 puts me in a sweet spot in relation to my BMI and; I have to admit it was the weight I had been at for most of my life. It's my current goal weight now :-)

    I'm 5'4" and my ideal weight is 130lb. I chose it because I can maintain it and I fit into a size 8 which is my ideal size.
