    5'4"
    SW was 217
    CW is 166
    GW is 149

    For 5"4' women, the BMI charts say that a health range ends at 145. I set my goal at 149 because it felt possible to me. I was originally aiming for 155 , but when I broke the 200 barrier, I adjusted down to 149. When I get there, I will see how I feel.

    When I was in college, I was in the 130s. The last time I was below 120, I was in high school (ages 13-17). I think it's unreasonable for me to be back at that puberty weight because I've grown some Ta-Tas since then and my hips have widenend. I also have equally broad shoulders, which makes me an hour glass shape. Based on the wrist & elbow calculators, I'm at the top end of medium boned for frame size. My butt muscles are round rather than flat. So, with these great womanly assets, I doubt I would looks good at the low end of the prescribed BMI range. Besides, I doubt I could grow my hips back together to narrow them up. LOL!

    135. My inital goal was to be 145, since that's always where I seem to end up. But I've continued to lose a bit more even on maintenance. I fluctuate between 132-135 or so. I'm 5'3"

    I'm 5'3ish and I weight 130 my goal for now is 120 but it'd like to get to 110. I have a small frame and build, all of my weight goes to my stomach and butt ( never boobs). I was 110 before and was not stick thin but also did not have boobs or a curvy body.

    At 5' 4" I'm aiming for 125. I topped out at 160 and now I'm 139. But I was 125 at one point and it felt good.

    I'm 5'4" and 200 right now. My goal is 150 for now. I think everyone's healthy weight is different, even if they are the same height. I think my healthy weight is lower than that but I'm aiming for that for now.

    I'm 5'4, weigh 224, my goal is 145. This is the healthy weight my doctor recommends. We are all different, there is no one size fits all.

    I think it also depends on your frame. I'm 5'4" but have a large frame (due to fingers not touching when wrapped around my wrist). I hope to get down to 140.. no idea what jean size that will be lol

    Get dunked/bodpod/whatever for an accurate BF% and use that as a baseline to set a goal. Then get retested at intervals to check your progress and reset/renew your goal.

    Using weight is not a consistent or accurate representation of anything, and will vary over the short term due to hydration levels.

    I'm 5'3 and currently 276lbs (eek =[ ).
    My goal is set for 150. I have a larger frame and was a size 14pants and 12 skirts when I weighed that back in undergrad.

    I'll readjust from there, but I'd be ecstatic breaking 200 right now...which puts me at about a 16 (if I remember correctly).

    I am 5'4 currently I am 116 (size 4-6), but I was smaller at 120 when I was in shape and had muscle (I was a size 2). Don't forget (Hanson mentioned it as well) Frame size has a lot to do with it. Measure your wrist, between your hand and wrist bone, this will tell you your frame size. I don't remember off the top of my head I know under 6 is small I am sure you can look it up. I know it is what insurance companies use. My wrist is 5 &1/4 so I tend to look better at the lower end of my ideal weight...if you have larger bones you can carry more.

    I am 5'4" with a medium build. I definitely have a pretty round rib cape and sadly I don't have dainty shoulders.
    I got serious with wanting to lose weight and get healthy in november.

    SW: 190
    CW 181.8
    GW: 125-140

    Really depends how I feel and how I look when I get into the 140s whether I decide to keep losing or not

    In 5'4" and by best weight is about 54kg (110lbs? I don't work in lbs!) Which puts me in a jean size 8 UK. If I did weights at that weight I could gain but loose another dress size, maybe after the marathon I'll try for the size 6 jeans and the washboard abs ;)

    I'm 5'4 and I started at 272, currently at 248. I'm trying to get to 170 (-100lbs) and we'll see where I go from there. My goal size would be 8-10. That way I could shop in every store! I currently wear an 18W from Kohl's.
