    i FINALLY found a thread with people my height! yay!!

    i'm also 5'3. currently at 160 and i think i look terrible @ this weight. i am trying to come down to 130 if possible. the smallest i've been was 135 two years ago and while i certainly looked smaller i still found it looked like i could have lost a lot more. but then i have huge boobs so it's about balance also.

    I'm 5'3" and my original goal was 120-125. I'm down to 140 and I'm wearing a loose 10 and also a comfy pair of 8's. I don't care much anymore about what I weigh now, it's more about looks and what fits well. I have a lot more muscle than when I was down to 98lbs and I look better at 140. If I keep losing fat and weigh the same, I'm ok with that.

    I'm 5'3 and my current goal is 120-125. I've never been below 155 as an adult so I have no idea what my body will look like. I guess I"ll reevaluate when I get to 125. In 8th grade I was 140 and I remember still have fairly large thighs, so I'm pretty sure I"ll have to go below that.

    I'm 5'4" and my current goal is 115lbs. I have very thick thighs because of figure skating. I'm now around 135, and I'm a size 2-4 on top, and a 4-6 at the bottom. I'd like to get to size 2 on top and size 4 below. It's so hard to find dresses that fit because if it fits on top, the bum area will be too tight. If it fits snugly at the bum area, I have have tons of saggy cloth at the waist area. :(

    I'm 5'3" and started out at 226 about a year ago. My goal weight is 140ish, because I am built for it. I am 166lbs now and in a size 10 now, but would like to be around 8/6. It's all dependent on what your body type is like and where you started at. Good luck.

    I'm 5'3 and am 112. I lost about 30-35 pounds since last April and this is the smallest I've ever been. I think everyone's weight goal should vary personally though. I have a wide rib cage, small waist, and currently no butt whatsoever. My spine and ribs are very prominent but I still have muscular and toned calves and thighs. Ideally I'd like to maintain between 110-115.

    I am 5'3" and my goal weight is 125-130 anywhere between there will make me happy. Currently I wear a size 8-10 depending on the clothing maker. I would like to get down to at least 6 on the bottom since I have a feeling I wont be able to lose enough size in my thighs to be a 4, but here's hoping!

    I am 5'2.5". My current goal is 130 - and hopefully about a size 6. I did lose a significant amount of weight a number of years ago in the midst of a divorce. At that time, I weighed 117 and wore a size 4. I FELT good at that weight, but when I look back at pictures, it was not a pleasant sight! (Never thought it was possible to be too thin, but that most certainly was!)

    Im 5'4 and hold my weight really well. I am currently 245 and wearing a 14/16. I am not totally sure what I want the number to be. I was 170 at one point and a size 10ish so I wouldnt mind being an 8/10.

    I'm an African-American woman, 44 years of age. I look great in sizes 4 - 6, at size 8, I begin to look chubby again. So, for me, smaller sizes look best. And I'm 5'2".

    I've been bouncing between 125 and 130 for the last year or so after dropping from 178 last summer. At the doctor's this morning I weighed in at 56kg (123.5lbs) which is the lowest I've ever been. My doctor feels strongly that I shouldn't lose any more weight, but I personally feel like I could happily drop another 5 pounds or so. I'd be happy to maintain between 120 and 125, or even up to about 128, but I definitely don't want to go above 130 again. I actually think I could lose another 10 and not look too skinny because I have quite a small frame, but I don't particularly have any desire to go that low.

    For reference, I'm 5'3" and wear a UK size 12 (US 8) in most things although I have a few dresses and tops that are a 10 (US 6).
