    I'm 5'5" and pretty curvacious- I have a large bust, smaller waist and large hips. But right now I weight 232.2 lbs- which is better because I started off being 236 lbs.

    Ideally, I would love to be anymore between 125-145 lbs. Hell, I'd be happy to be 150! But more then weight, I want to look and feel HEALTHY.

    I'm 5'3. But I don't really have a set goal weight, because at 5'3 and 190 I don't look horrible, but I dont look like what I want. My goal for now is to get down to 150. Maybe then i'll make a new goal :)

    Work out your BMI and stick with the healthy section. I am 5 foot 7,when I get below 11 stone everyone tells me that I look old and that I look tired. This is not a good look!

    The other thing is that if you lose too much weight, you will lose the padding under your skin and on your face this means you look hagged. You cannot replace this lovely bouncy layer of flesh easily but it keeps you looking young and wrinkle free.

    ANSWER - let your closest friends and family tell you when to stop. It will be sooner than the weight that you aspire to.

    I just want to maintain a weight in the 120's :smile: I used to be 180 and have been as low as 124 (where I looked my best) but right now I'm in the upper 120's but still slim :smile: I could just be more toned! Working on it...I'm in this for life :smile:

    I started at 185 and at 166. My goal is 147, when I get to that point I will maintain it for some time and see if I want to get any lower.

    I know how that is! I try to focus on getting to a place where I'm love my body, and feel great, even if the numbers on the scale don't say what I think they should. Right now I'm 115 (5'5") and I keep thinking I want to be 110, but I also think it might be better to gain weight, as long as it means more muscle not fat!

    I want to be 150. I have been 135 before and felt it was almost too thin for me. 140 and defined looked awesome and I feel comfortable up to about 155. However, I feel that it's too hard for me to maintain 140-135, even with lots of exercise, so I'd rather weigh a little more. When I was 135, I starved myself, exercised compulsively, took pills, and purged to get there, and I never want to go back to that.

    I'm 5'5" and my goal is 135. I reached that in 2007 and it was a good weight for my frame. Unfortunately, I'm now 164, so I've got to lose the 30 lbs again.

    It is said that an ideal weight for someone is to add 5 lbs for every inch you are over 5 foot. That said, ideally a good weight for someone of 5'5 would be 125. However, there are many factors such as your age, muscle mass, etc. If I were you, I would shoot for something near there by following the BMI charts. You can Google what your ideal weight should be for your height and age and someone use it as a guide. However, it is a bit misleading, because two people can weigh the same and be the same height but one will look thinner and have less fat, bc they have more muscle. But I would shoot for that (maybe a higher number) and then look at what you look like. If you feel healthy and good, then stay there, if not then set a new goal.

    I am only 5'3 3/4 so 5'4 I guess I should say. I have been many weights from 177 - 108. I know I look best at 120. Too much less and I look sort of too thin and it doesn't feel right. When I am in my 130s my butt is too big and clothes don't fit as well, I guess it is how I am proportioned.

    Just keep losing until you like what you see and you feel good. If you're able to maintain a certain weight once you get down, your body may be talking to you and telling you, "this is just right".
