    This is a cool "goal weight calculator" based on your desired % body fat.

    I'm 5'2" and started at 180 lbs. My original goal weight was 120, but once I met that I decided to see what 115 looks like because I still had a belly. I gained some back and did 30DS and feel better/look better than I ever have. I mostly chose my goal weight for completely arbitrary reasons: 120 was somewhere near the middle of a healthy BMI for my height and then 115 because I still wasn't quite happy with how I looked. Pretty happy with my weight where it is (around 123) and I think I'm becoming part of the camp "it's-not-about-your-weight" mostly because the more strength training I do - the more results I've seen than dieting and cardio alone. Your question is pretty tricky - it's really a personal choice and what your fitness goals are. It can't hurt to talk to a doctor about it either.

    I am 5ft0, and very petite also... I was wondering the same thing! I'm around 117Ibs which is quite a lot for my size, although muscle weighs more than fat.

    117 is not quite a lot for your size.

    Oh I'm 4' 11" and my goal is between 125 and 130.
