    I am 4'11 @ 104.5 and I want to be 95, this is because I have no muscle or tone to my body at all :( so hopefully losing weight and excercise will help me become lean :)

    I say I'm 5'0 but my doctor says I'm 4'11 and 3/4" ;) I joined weight watchers a while back and got to be a lifetime member at my highest weight without being overweight which 130. So that's my short term goal. Current weight is fluctuating between 143 and 147. My final goal is around 95-100. I'm not real set on the number though.. if I'm perfectly happy at 120, I'll stop losing (I just really think it'll be more like 100 based on my body type).

    I also read somewhere (at some point) that starting at 5'0, you start at 100 lbs and then add five pounds per inch of height to find a good ideal weight. So like :

    5'0 − 100
    5'1 − 105
    5'2 − 110
    5'3 − 115
    5'4 − 120
    5'5 − 125
    5'6 − 130
    5'7 − 135
    5'8- 140

    I'm not sure if it's even legitimate but it's always sounded pretty good to me lol.

    Goal is currently 125-128lbs. We'll see after that...maybe 115-118. I hope to build some muscle though. The numbers on the scale aren't that important

    Hello Ultragirl!!! I agree, the numbers aren't that important. I'm aiming to reduce my bodyfat % rather than worrying about weight. I'm 5ft2, 25% bodyfat at the moment and weigh 145lbs. My goal is 130lbs...I think. :smile:

    My gw is around 105. I started at 134, got down to 106 and am back to 110. Anything below 110 has been really hard for me to stay at. I'm not really as concerned about a number at this point, I'd just like to look less "squishy." I'm small but still have a bit of a belly and some jiggly thighs going on.

    I want to get back down to 100lbs, but ultimately I just want to be fit. Doesn't matter after that really

    I'm 5'0' and I weigh 97 lbs. My goal weight is 100 lbs but I want to gain 3 lbs of pure muscle, not fat. I'm aiming for 18-20% body fat.

    Im 4'11 and my current GW is 130. Once I get to 130, my GW will most likely become 120-125.

    I'm 5'3", and I am going for 110. I might try 105 later. However! I'd definitely settle for 115, if it meant being extremely lean and toned. I know it's possible to gain weight and lose inches.

    Omg. We could be twins me too. My goal was to get below 100, since I was happiest at 95. However I want to be strong, not just skinny...wo who knows what weight I will ultimately end up being?
