    I'm almost 5'2" and currently 148 lbs. My goal weight is 120-125. I have a lot of muscle and I know I will never be super skinny, but I like the way I look with some curves at the 120ish range.

    I am a little over 5'. My goal is somewhere in the 120s. 120 would be great, but I won't know until I get closer to my goal. I started this weightloss journey at 215 lbs. My first goal was to get to 135. once I get there I will decide how much more I want to lose. My ultimate goal is to just be a healthy and active mom that sets a good example for my kids. In the grand scheme of things that is all that really matters. Charts can say what they want, but in real life, you just have to be comfortable in your own skin.

    I am 5'3 and my SW was 177, CW is 155 and I plan on being 126. I don't feel comfortable getting any smaller than that. For my body type/build I look sick when I get too small plus I enjoy having curves =)

    5 ft 2 inches, 148. I would like to get to around 135, although I'm less focused on my weight at this point and more interested in getting fitter and stronger. I've been lurking since last July but I would like to use this for more than logging food and exercise. Fellow shorties, feel free to add me. I really would love some friends who are more interested in fitness than getting tiny.

    I'm 4'11. At my smallest i was 110-115 (in high school). I am now 160 and would love to get down to 120-125. That would make me happy:bigsmile:

    wow! I didn't realize there were so many shorties out there. :) I am 5 feet tall, and currently weigh 124. I would love to be 110, but I think 115 may be a more reasonable goal to accommodate my boobs and my hips. ;)

    I'm 5'1". Current weight is 157.4. Goal weight is 130-135. Starting weight was 192.

    A lot of people seem to think there is a small window of healthy weights for your height but there is actually a pretty good sized range. Those standard charts don't take into account things like body type and muscle.

    I am 5ft tall and would like to be 120lbs. As of right now i am 194lbs but my starting weight was 275lbs. I know they say i should be 100lbs for my height but i honsetly could never imagen being that small. I think as long as i feel healthy and am closer to the stander number then thats all that matters.

    I'm 5'2" and my goal weight is about 135-140. I can't picture myself being as low as it recommends. I'd like to have a few curves :)

    I am 5'2". I had always stuck around 115-120. Recently I got up to 140 after changing some habits and job situations. Not I'm trying to at least get back into the 120's with a goal of 115.

    I think my realistic goal is actually 140.

    I'm fairly well-endowed in the chestal region and I don't tend to lose up there. So, I think at 140 I will be happy with the rest.

    I'm 5' 3" and my goal weight is 125 for now. If I am going strong with my diet and exercise I may go to 110.

    I'm 5'1...Ive gotten as low as 122 and while I was at my heaviest (180) I thought I'd be happy at 120..but I wasn't. I think 110 would be best

    I'm 5' 3/4" and 30 yrs old. My body isn't meant to be 110 lbs, I was 113 in high school and I looked sick. Discussed it with my doctor and she said that based on my frame/age, anywhere between 130 and 140 is great. So I've set my GW at 138. If I can lose more than that, great. But I think I'm pretty close to where my body wants to be, which is fine with me, I feel great!!
