    I'm 5'3" roughly, currently about 112 pounds and I'm hoping for a 7 pound loss - purely because I'm a pear shape and I'm hoping to lose some weight from my legs and hips. Reading other peoples comments I feel a like this is a bit too small but I'm not stick thin so I suppose it boils down to body shapes and bone mass.

    I'm 5'1 and my goal weight was 130. Now that I'm 130, I want to lose just 5 more pounds and I'll be fine with that. I'm 58 and I think for my age, 125 is good for me. I have great muscle tone and lots of energy from all the great food I'm eating.

    If you were 5'3" or around there (or if you are), what would your goal weight be? I'm struggling to find a happy weight.

    Erm, your profile picture is freaking me out. :indifferent: Is that where you are now or is it where you want to be? (You could be in recovery, in which case please ignore my freaking out over your profile picture.)

    Wow. Looks like I'm in the minority here! My goal is 150 pounds (that's my weight in my profile picture). I would be a size 8 at that weight (I've been there before). I may try to go as low as 140 - but that will probably be my limit. I remember being 123 in high school and feeling absolutely famished at all times in order to maintain that weight. I'm not interested in living my life that way!!

    I've been struggling with this too. I'm 5'3" and currently 126 lbs. My original goal weight was 141lbs., then I reduced it to 135, then to 129, and then 125lbs. Now that I'm almost there, I was thinking of going lower, but everyone keeps telling me not to.

    Hey thanks for this post, I'm wondering the same thing. Now that I'm getting closer to my goal weight, I'm wondering what I should actually choose to stay at.
    I am currently 134ish but really, I am not happy. I want more muscle definition- something I know I will have to work for. So recently I was thinking about what 125 would look like. I started this journey when I was 160ish, its nice to know that I have a choice about what I want to weigh. Btw I'm about 5'3-5'4

    I am 5'3"...i'm thinking anywhere between 120 and 140..depending on how I feel about the way I look when I get in that range. Muscle weighs more so my original goal of 120s may be too low, I could look hot and toned at 140 if I have nice muscles. :happy:

    I don't think I have an eating disorder. I just want to know what is considered "normal" for someone my height. And I think I have the general idea!

    I never would have guessed you were 150 in that picture! You look great! And I agree; good idea.

    I'm 5'2." My goal weight is 125lbs, but I may stop at 130-135lbs, depending on how I look and feel.

    I'm 5'3" and my goal weight for now is 140. that's a little over 40 lbs for me to lose, so I'm gonna shoot for that and see how I feel at that point.

    130-135 would be HEALTHIEST... especially if you plan to have muscle and definition at all. I'm 5 feet but very muscular so I shoot for 135. Don't get too caught up on BMI, the shorter you are, the more inaccurate it can be.

    Why's that? I thought it was only inaccurate when lots of muscle mass was involved?
