    I'm 5'0 and am aiming for about 38kg - I think that's about 84lbs.

    That's a BMI of 16; that would be impossible to maintain.

    I'm 5'2, and I want to reach 120. I really just want to be happy with the way I look.

    I'm 5'1 and my goal is 140-145. Anything less and I wouldn't look right.

    i'm 5ft 4 and currently weigh 125lbs. i'm aiming for 119lbs which is 8 and half stone! i think this will be a nice weight for me and not look to 'skinny' (love my curves). i just plan to do lots of strength and muscle training after that to look more toned!

    I am only five feet tall. According to all the calculators, my ideal weight is something like114. BUT, I am also 42 years old. The last time I weight that little or less, I looked anorexic. I think 120-125 is a reasonable healthy weight for ME.

    i looked at the military body fat calculator on fat2fit and it projected my ideal body weight as 114 lbs. Are you nuts? I am almost 5'6" tall. Those calculators are ridiculous. I would look positively GAUNT at 114 lbs. Craziness.

    I'm 5'3, currently 110. goal is 100 or a little heavier (just until I lose the extra). I'm 22 and have small bone structure.

    I'm 5'3". the aim is 145 or so. Always been on the heavier side and this was my most comfortable weight so that's the ultimate goal.

    I am 5'3" and my first goal weight is 125 lbs. After I reach that, I'm going for 120 lbs. My ultimate goal is to look muscular, so as long as I am happy with my muscles, I will be happy with my weight. :bigsmile:

    I'm 5'2.5" and my goal weight right now is 120lbs. I used to want to be 115lbs but that was really hard to maintain, so I'd like to just be 120 and have muscle :) Fit and toned!

    I'm 5'1" and my original GW was 126. I currently weigh 124 and I'm happy but I still want to cut some more.

    5'1" and goal is 140. I'm heavier than that right now and don't look obese, I just look a bit chubby. I can't imagine going down to even 130 let alone 110-120 lbs ... I feel like I'd be practically nothing then. That just would not work for me. Everyone is different! :P

    i'm 5'4" and would be happy with a healthy 145 lbs...now if I can only get there...

    Just under 5'2" and just under 60 yrs old. Goal now is 110-115, as I'm 136 lbs now and it looks & feels like just too much on my frame.

    About 10 yrs ago I was super motivated & got down to 102, and at that point didn't feel good. A few pounds more at about 105-8 I felt much better -- those few pounds mean more for us shorties! (And THEN I moved to a part of the country famous for its food!)

    I'm a little over 5'4", not sure if that's "short" or not. :P

    Apparently a healthy weight for me is anywhere from 111 lbs to 150 lbs. I'm really not sure where I want to end up at yet. Somewhere in the middle, I think.

    125 lbs! I think that is a healthy weight even though it told me much lower!!!! I don't think I have ever been 125 lbs so it would be nice just to see that number! :laugh:

    I am 5'2 and my goal weight is 130. I don't want to look sucked up, I like a little meat on my bones. :-)

    This is me too! I'd be ok with going lower, but will feel really successful once I'm at 130

    I am 5'1" and 49 yrs of age. I would love to be around 135-145 but feel that might be too much. My first goal is to reach 165.

    I'm 5'3" and would love to see 140lb first and then perhaps move it down to the mid 120's. I have a large frame so I am not sure I need to get that low but I don't ever remember myself at that weight. Still a lot of work left. CW: 171; SW: 191
    *please add me as a friend if you sound similar to me. I really appreciate seeing other people in my shoes and their progress. Total motivator!*

    My goal weight is 135 and I am 5'3.

    Even before I had kids I weighed 140 in High School and was athletic and all muscle. So I am shooting to get back to that range pre babies!

    I'm 5'2" and 42 years old. I did get down to 135 in 2002 but i felt it was hard to stay there. I hope to get between 135 - 140. :happy:

    5'0'' and my goal is 128. I may reevaluate when I hit my goal, but like many others I like a little curves. I lose weight off my hips/butt quickly, so I'm kind of shapeless. I'm thinking about Brazil Butt Lift dvds to help with tone.

    I am 47, 5'2" and goal weight was 130. now that I am there just another 5lbs would be great. The problem is that after that 5 lbs, is it going to be just another 5 lbs. So in come the weights because at 125lbs I should be ecstatic.
