I would like to get down to 105 pounds being 5'3" and I wonder if this will be too thin?

    How much do you weigh in the pic? If that's current, losing anymore would be too thin IMHO.

    I'm 5'3 and my realistic goal weight is 140. Possibly 130, but given my frame and muscle mass, any less than that I would look skeletal, which is not the look I am after.

    I currently weigh 109 and that is after eating a bunch of crap to gain 4 pounds up from 105 I got down to this summer. I looked HORRIBLE and did not realize it until I saw a picture of myself. My body looked great, my face looked like death.

    Between 110 and 112 is what looks best on me.

    I'm 5'3 and mine is 115-120, however I'm not as focused on weight as body fat %, I want to be down to 16-18% body fat to start with, then maybe go down to 14%. I weighed 105-110 when I was in high school and looked borderline underweight at that size. However even though I'm petite (generally a size 0-4 depending on the store/fit/etc) my wrists are 5.5in so my bone structure is a little larger than some. I've seen some girls who are 5'3 and weigh 100lbs and look fine, just depends a lot on your body

    I'm 5'3.5" and my goal is 120. I guess it depends on your frame. I think though that even with a small frame the lightest is around 110lb to be healthy. I was 115 lbs in high school (ballet dancer, lots of muscle) and my husband thinks I looked too thin in my old pictures. I say take it in stride. I don't know what your current weight is, but maybe if you are above 120, reassess at that weight and see if you think you look too thin. If not, reassess at 115 or 110.

    Here's a good site for weight ideals based on frame:

    My goal is 120. I've been 103 and I looked skeletal. It is too thin, in my opinion.

    My goal is around 130. That's when I look healthy, feel great and have a good BMI as well. :) It really depends on what is healthy for your body and your shape.

    I am 5'3 and at my goal of 130. Don't plan on losing anymore, I have great muscle tone at this weight. I am a medium build and wear a size 4 in most brands.

    Depending on your build, 105 may be too thin but it is your body and your preference. If u think 105 would be too thin then it probably is.

    I'm 5'4" and my goal weight is 140-145. I don't think i could get down any lower without losing muscle. So ya, 140 would be awesome!

    My goal was 110 pounds. In my opinion I didn't look like I was lean enough but I'd already agreed with myself I'd start on a slow bulk once I hit 110 which is what I'm doing now.

    I am 5'3" and weigh 135 pounds right now, and I want to get to a weight between 115 and 120 pounds. I weighed 110 in college for a couple of years and my face looked starved even though my body looked great. So I don't want to go there again, despite having a small frame.

    I think it totally depends on your body type and what you feel comfortable with.
    I am 5'3" and a half. I feel really good at 130 and anything less than 120 I look a bit sickly. The last time I was at that weight though, I had a lot of muscle from competitive training.

    I don't have a goal weight, but Do have a certain look I go for. It all depends on how you want to look.

    Skinny or muscular. I am obviously going for the muscle. I don't weigh myself very often. I take my measurements and assess my health...strength, stamina, flexiblity, my athletic abilities are all taken into account.

    This profile pic, I am around 130lbs and mid bulk. I gained a bit of fat, that I will shave off, but definitely gained muscle as well.

    Toned measurements of 31/28/36 at 5' 3.5". Weight is irrelevant to me as anything other than a general indicator of progress until I get access to BF% scales. I was skinny-fat at 116 (and about 30/27/35 - bust sizes are underbust, not full bust). I have 120 as my notional MFP target, but I'm expecting to be there or heavier with the muscle I'm looking for this time around.

    135 is my goal. I looked good at 135 when I was working out so was solid. I think I look healthy at that weight.
