    I'm 34 & 5 feet tall. I'm currently 113.5 and my original goal weight was at 110, but I'm not too wedded to that number. I'm more interested in toning and improving my strength so I can do more challenging yoga poses, really.

    When I was a teenager, I weighed about 95 lbs but looking back, that was too small and it was hard to find clothes that fit me properly!

    I'm 4'10" and I'm looking at being a strong solid 100 lbs. I was there 4 1/2 years ago and was smokin! So I would like to go back but I'm ok at 110-115 :)

    I'm 4'11" so i'm a tad shorter than most of you. After my pregnancy I was 155!! I've been working with a trainer and am focused on my body fat %, different from BMI. So for those of you who check the BMI its a good guess but you really should have the body fat % checked. My current weight is 130 and would like to lose another 10 to be around 120. My ULTIMATE goal is to have my body fat down to 20%. I've always been muscular and can't forsee being 100lbs. Muscle is good for many reasons, it will keep you strong, protect your bones, and it burns more calories than fat (so more yummy food)!

    I am 4'11" and currently weigh 168. Down from 188. My goal right now is 135 ish. I was 143 after having my twins and looked great, besides the extra "twin skin" around my belly. My body shape has definitely changed with having kids, so I am not sure I want to go much below my goal weight. Once I reach my goal weight, I will re-assess and go from there.

    I am shooting for 120. I am turning 47 this year and I think age might make a difference. I will see how I look when I get down to 120 and take it from there.

    I am 5'0 and trying for 115.. I have only 2.5 pounds to go. The smallest I have been in my adult life is 113. Even in high school, i was in the 130's and that was 20 years ago..

    I'm 5'1.5" and I'm currently looking to get down to 115. I'll reevaluate once I'm there but there was a time pre-pregnancy that I was 112 (with no real fitness or muscle) and I was happy with my size. I think 115 with some good muscle on me might be the ticket. Once I'm there I can see if another 5lbs will make me feel better. I think fat% will be more of a focus once I get down there than number on a scale.

    I'm at 125.5 right now and I see a lot of areas that need improvement.

    I am slightly taller at 5'2". I started at 236 after I had my son. I am currently at 212 and my first goal is 150 with an eventual goal of 130. I have never been small, and I think I would look strange any smaller than that. I would like to keep my shape, just a smaller version of it.

    I'm 5' 2'' and currently 152. I'm aiming for 112. I weighed that much four years ago, and was very skinny. I'd actually say it's my lower limit for looking good and not being 'too' skinny - but I'm large framed and we're all different.

    I'm 5'0 and I want to be 125. I will never be a size 0 and I'm ok with that!

    I'm five feet, three and a half inches tall and on the petite side. I'm aiming to stay in the 120's.

    I'm 5'0", started at 127lbs.. am now at 108lbs, and loooooving it! I don't have to look in a mirror if i don't want to before i leave the house because clothes always look superb on me now : )

    I think I'd like to see how I'd look at 100lbs or thereabouts.. but i think 105-108lbs is quite good-

    I'm 30 y/o and 5'3". My pre-pregnancy weight was 115 and I hope to get back to that weight after my baby (my 3rd) is born. That put me at a size 0 in most stores (sized me out of some others) so unless I want to start shopping in the children's section, I think I'll stop there. If I gained more muscle and wound up in a larger clothing size or weight while still looking toned, I would be happy with that too.

    I'm 132 right now. I have a muscular build so my goal weight is to be anywhere from 116 (pre pregnancy weight) to 122 lbs. I can't get below 115 unless I took diet pills, which I have no intentions of doing again.

    Started at 154lb, currently 150lb, goal is 139lb initially & 133 ideally. I'm 42. I was 105lb & healthy (ate well, worked out) in my 20s. Gradually starting to exercise again but would rather go for a healthy body fat ration & a weight I can maintain. Really don't want to yoyo.

    I was 110 when I graduated high school, and I haven't really grown since then, except width wise, so I'd like to be back there. I'm focusing more on body recomposition though, so I'm looking more to lose body fat rather than just weight in general. Whenever I look in the mirror and love what I see, that's going to be my goal weight. ETA: Started at 130, currently 127.

    I am 5'1 and would love to be around 120 give or take 5 lbs.
    I think a lot depends on your build though! My lowest weight ever was 106 as a teenager and it was NOT healthy on me.

    I am currently 150 and 5'0 and I am aiming for at least 40 pounds to lose. I think 105-110 is an ideal weight for us five footers :)

    For me being 5ft tall and 40, my goal is anywhere between 130 & 142 or about a 6 or 8 petite size. I don't want to be 100lbs or within 10 to 15 pounds of that. I would lose all of the voluptuous curves that I have gained over the years, gotta keep some of that!!! My frame is medium and I am pretty solid so I tend to weigh more than what I look.

    Currently at 158
    Goal 135 (and I have no desire to weigh less than that)


    I'm a lot bigger then you but I have a similar goal weight of about 135-140
    nice to see some one on the short side who doesn't feel the need to be 105 lbs
