    I'm 5'2". My goal for the next few months is 130 (15 to go!) Ultimately, I would like to see 120-125 because of my build.

    I based my goal on what I would HAVE to be if I were still in the Marine Corps, with for a female at 5'3" is between 141 lbs and 107 lbs. Within that range I felt at my best when I was 120lbs, which was during boot camp (got there at 138 and left at 115 so right about in the middle somehwere.)

    My goal weight is 125. I'm 5'3" and currently weigh 129. I am very happy with the success I've had with MFP. I've lost 33 pounds in 7 months. I'm a soon-to-be 53 year old female going through menopause and I only get 1200 calories a day. I find myself looking at the nutritional values I have taken in for the day before I eat my last few calories and choose them wisely.

    I'm 5'2" and currently sitting at 120.5 lbs.

    I was 118 lbs before having my last child 2 years ago, but I know that even those 2 lbs won't give me my pre-pregnancy figure. I wanted to be down around 112 as I have a small frame, but now that I am seeing increased muscle definition and the inches are still going down, I'm not as concerned about the number. As long as the inches keep moving and my shape changes, I will be happy.

    It's all about the shape, not the weight.

    I am 5'4" and right now 135. I want to go to 130 and reassess. My upper arms and thighs could still lose a few inches, so we'll see.

    I'm 5'1 and so far my goal weight is 130, currently I am at 175. I will re-evaluate when I get to 130 and see if I am happy, if not then I will continue until I am.

    I am 5' 2.5". My goal is to have a BMI between 20 and 22 and to fit size 6. I am guessing that puts me in the 114-123 range.

    However, when I was at that weight before I was unhappy because I had no muscle tone. So for me how I look is more important than the number. If I have muscle definition and feel strong at 125-130, I will be happy.

    I have 30 pounds to go. 36 pounds I have lost so far.

    I'm 5'2" and currently weigh about 175lbs. It would be my DREAM to get down to 140, but my endocrinologist and I would be happy with me getting down to 160 & healthy. I have a picture of me at 160# and I looked so happy and healthy. I used to hike a lot and was generally much more active than I am now. If the pounds don't come off, I will be happy to just take the inches off.

    I am 5'3 and about 189 lbs. My goal is 140 pounds. I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. Every time I try to lose weight something gets in the way. So, I decided to ditch the excuses and move ahead to a healthier life!

    I am 5'2 (larger boned) and i did that dunk tank test that measures bone, organs and muscle but accounts for fat. If i ddin't have any fat at all i would weigh 135 lbs. So i am shooting for 140-150lbs.

    5" 1 and GW is 130. Should be 112 to 120 I think but that has't happened since HS
    I picked what I though I could accomplish. If I get there and see room for improvement, then I shall continue my journey.

    Started at 193.5 after 6 weeks I am 183.5........10 lbs down..........52.5 to go

    I am 52 and 5 foot 4. I feel best between 110 and 115 pounds. I have a small frame and I try to eat 1200 calories a day. On most days I exercise and burn about 400. I eat back all my calories. My progress is very slow and keeping this weight is difficult. I love food and entertaining. I have been on MFP for about a year and have only lost about 5 pounds. It keeps me honest and helps me to maintain.

    I'm 5'1 and my heaviest was around 225.. .I'm currently at 202 but my goal weight is around 155-170. I prefer my curves and would be satisfied with a 10-12 size frame. I'm not unhappy, I just would like to feel better. :)

    I am 4'11", and am currently 169 pounds. Hoping to get back to the weight I was 6 years ago before having 3 kids! Goal weight 115-125. Just want to be comfortable in my skin again :flowerforyou:

    5'0 current weight 125, 25% body fat

    Goal weight is 20% body fat which would be around 115. I don't care if I weigh more than this, but I'm targeting 20% body fat.

    I'm 5'4" and currently at 201. My goal is between 150 and 160. I say take it one pound at a time and see how you feel about it and that's that...... make sure your numbers are healthy blood pressure, sugar.

    5ft even... First BIG goal to get to 140 Ibs were I was at when I got married in 2004. Ultimate goal 120-130 Ibs as that is within my healthy BMI, and I want to have my cute Mom's clothes (size 6/8)... we use to trade... I would LOVE to be between 110 - 115 again, but I haven't been that fit and healthy since Jr high/high school and that was 20+ years ago and I have two children now (6 & 4) both c- sections, so my body will NEVR be that shape again, but I want to be healthy so the number on the scale isn't everything anymore...
