    i don't use BMI that much now as it's actually inaccurate for very short people (under 5ft) XD
    I'm 4 foot 9" and want to be 40-43kg so about 88-94lbs :)
    Not sure if i get there but who knows. or i may feel happy being a bit heavier

    I'm 4'11 and curvy - I looked healthest/my best at 135 -140lbs. I weighed 109 before having thyroid cancer, when I look back at pictures I just did'n't look healthy.

    I'm 5'3" and hope to get to 140, but will see how realistic it is to get there when I reach 150. I lost weight years ago, only to slowly regain it and develop Diabetes. I intend to lose as much as I can, get some control over my overall health, but choose a real life goal I can maintain. At 56 I know healthy without the yo-yo path, is better for me than a lower goal.

    I'm 5'1 and my goal is 120 lbs. The lowest I've been is 114, but after 2 kids I don't think this is realistic for me anymore. I am also working on lifting weights so I know that can add to the number on the scale, but as long as I reach a place I'm comfotable and look good in I'll be happy.

    My goal is 180 but I have been big my whole life... the smallest I remember was 175 in JR high school so I'm happy with my desicion.

    I'm 5'1.5 and would be happy to get around 115. I had gotten down to 116 but then vacations and excuses got in the way and I'm around 129 right now and not feeling real good about myself. If you're in the same boat as me and losing weight is a battle, friend request me. I could use the support, etc.

    My goal weight is 100 pounds because I am small frame and asian so I probably still have loose fat even when 100 pounds but working out hard to be FIT not skinny at 100 pounds

    I'm 4'11.5" short and sometimes round up to 5' on a bad day. Hehe. My starting weight was 150 lbs and I'm currently 140 lbs. My goal is 110 lbs. Good luck ladies!

    I am 5ft and 175 pounds. I have already lost 40 lbs. I find it to be stressful and get anxiety thinking I am suppose to weigh like 100 pounds. So I pretty much said screw BMI and as long as my body fat is in the healthy range I will be happy. At this point I am like 6% body fat away from being in a healthy range. I will probably wanna be more lean and be a little lower than the national healthy range But I feel much better not focusing 100% on BMI.

    I'm 5"3 and my goal is 145 right now. I started this 4 months ago(basically a week after I got home from the hospital with baby#2). I started at 224 and I am now at 178. I'd love to go back to my pre kids body of 117 but I'm ok at 145.

    I'm 5'2" and would like to fit *comfortably* in my size 8 pants which are gathering dust in the closet right now! So that probably means between 125-130. The lowest I've ever been was 100-105, but I was in borderline eating-disorder territory. Right now I'm about 142.

    I am 5'2" and weigh about 165lb. I have not always been big and am not big boned. At my lowest adult weight I was100lbs. Now that I have been on both sides of the spectrum I think 125lbs is the healthiest and best looking weight for myself. That weight gives me a healthy BMI, it lowers my risk of heart disease, as well as cancer, and type two diabetes; all of which I am currently at high risk for.

    5'2.5 gw 124

    when I was younger I always was aiming for 115. but 124 is where my body always wanted to settle at. I'd gladly settle for what I once considered a little pudgy.

    I am 4'11" and I'd like to be able to wear a size 6 again. I honestly don't think I even owned a scale back when I was that size so I'm not sure what I weighed but I'm guessing around 120. Right now I'm about 155 and I wear a size 12.

    I'm 5'3" and my goal is to be about 105-115. I'm currently in the 130's somewhere and I've been 119-120 before and I was no where near where I wanted my body to be. I was still a size 7ish, though I do have big hips.
    I would also like to mention that I my upper half's frame is very small. Even in the 130's I can easily wrap my fingers around my wrist and they overlap over half an inch. My bottom half is a different story though haha.

    I'm almost 5'2'' and my goal weight is under 127 because I know for sure that my chub rub will be gone then :) I was 175 at my heaviest and am 141 now.
    It's really ironic that 127 is my goal weight because when I was about 127 in school I used to feel fat!
    Lots of love from Germany!

    Hi, I am 5'4" and my goal is 180. This is what the MD picked for me. Main reason is I went from 395 to 215 in 2006-2007. Over 6 yrs gained back and went up to 238.8. In April this year, said no more and stuck to a good program. I have skin issues that will have to be addressed. At 180 I will consider surgery to remove excess skin/fat (yeah, kind of gross to think of but my body). It is felt that would bring me to around 160 where I need to be. I am very muscular and is felt would be a good number. MD says don't look at BMI not realistic.

    I am just shy of 5"1..... I don't really have an ultimate goal weight as such, I set myself little goals along the way but I'm just going to see where I feel comfortable

    You are doing an amazing job! I'm 56, 5'2" and currently weigh 208. I started at 220. I've got such a long way to go, but if I just take it a day at a time I know I'll get there. Looks like you don't have very many "days" to go. :)

    I'm 5'2 and 173Lbs. my ultimate goal is to be between 115 & 120. My goal for Aug. & Sept. is to lose a total of 10lbs by October. I've been slightly unmotivated and pretty lazy about the gym lately so I'm not making much progress and I'm hoping that the laziness doesn't last. I need a swift kick in the rear to get in gear! Good luck ladies!
