Hi y'all,

I've been told by 4 different doctors a huge variation in what my ending weight should be. Everything from 97lbs-150lbs..huge difference! I was 97lbs in high school, 120lbs when I got married (6yrs later), gained weight after babies. Have went back and forth ever since. My lowest weight after kiddos was 142lbs and I was in a size 9-10. I can't imagine what size I'd be at 97lbs again.
Just looking to see what others my height have in mind!

    My current goal is to get to 130 and see how that feels and looks. I've had a couple of kids (my youngest is 3 months) so my tummy is rather stretched, but it's slowly shrinking. I'm currently around 155 and hate it. I got down to 145 by breastfeeding with my first child but it took about a year after the birth to get there. I didn't diet or exercise lol. This time I hope to get down to my goal by the end of the year. I'm 5'1" btw.

    I am 5' 2" and I have been as low as 107 after college, 120 when I got married and had kids (very comfortable there) and have fluctuated between 140 and 160 since kids. I am at 135 now working down to 120 (SW152). I set that goal based on my body fat%. To keep my current lbm and have a 25% bf, that is where I need to be. Half way there!!

    I'm 5'0" ... I've seen a range of 95 to 127. So I went with 111 - right in the middle of the range.

    FWIW, I've never been a healthy weight since early childhood so I have no idea what's right for me. I figure once I get close I'll have a better idea.

    I have always had a small frame. I started out in the lower 130s and I didn't like the way I felt or looked n the mirror. I am currently 115-116 and I like it. I think I am going to stay here, but try to tone and build more muscle. If I lose 5 more lbs of fat but gain muscle I'll be okay with that too:) I think at our height, the number doesn't matter after a certain point but it becomes about muscle mass and toning.

    Hi All!

    New here. I am 5'2" and my current weight is 153. Am working toward a goal of 118. Got down to 120 in 1999 on Atkins and then carb creeped my way back up to current weight. I have a large frame for a petite person, though. So I could stop in the low 120's.

    Cheers!

    I started at 187. Thought I'd be happy at 130 and I was but thought I could do a little better. Now I'm 122 heading down to 120. I will stop there as that was my most comfortable lowest weight.

    I started around 150, now I'm at 133 and would like to get to 110. I'm hoping I'll be at least close to that by the end of the summer..

    I'm probably a lot older than those of you who have responded, but I'm 5'3", started at 188 lbs. now 154 lbs. and my goal is to get to 150 lbs. Been at this for well over a year, but I will get there. I will feel comfortable in my skin and clothes at that weight. When I was younger weighed 120 lbs at 5'5" - you shrink over the years. BTW I'm almost 73 years young!!

    I'm currently 157 and my highest weight after my son was born was about 168. I want to get down to 140 as my immediate goal after that we'll see if I want to keep going.

    I'm 5"1 now at 153lbs I want to get down to 120 and see how I feel/look then. I was between 115-117 in highschool. But that was before the curves. So we shall see! If anyone is looking for friends, please feel free to add me I could use the motivation!!

    I'm 5'1'' and shooting for 130 right now. From what I've looked at, 100-130 is fine in terms of weight. I've never been skinny, so I don't have much of a point of reference of what "was". I was 170 in highschool - I'm actually lighter now.

    I'm 5' and am currently at about 120. My goal weight is between 105 and 110 because I'm building up muscle, though I'm sure I could get away with 100 if I didn't want to be toned. :)
