    125 pounds. I don't care to be extremely thin. 115 is pretty much at the very bottom of our healthy weight range.

    I'm built like Olive Oyl, so 115 is where I hover and where I hovered before I gained wieght. That said, I didn't get a sense of my set weight until I was 25. If you are still growing, a doctor would be the best person to ask about appropriate goal weights. Good Luck!

    Im 5'4" & not a teen at all lol but 125gw 129cw. my measurements are what you said your ideal would be.

    I would say focus on your measurements don't fret too much over the scale. Sounds to me like you could use a bit of weight training. But yes the ^^^ please check with your doctor first

    I'm 5'4 and my goal weight is 135-130ish. My current weight is around 145.

    My measurements currently are 34-27-38...

    I do agree with focusing less on the scale number, and focusing more on measurements, and make sure you do some form of strength training :)

    I'm closer to 5'6" but my LBM when thinner than now was 115 itself, lol. So 115 is a tad low for me, I'd say :)

    Large frame
    GW: 140-150 (in there somewhere). It depends on how much muscle I end up with. It's looking like 145 at the moment.
    GMs: 39-40; 29-30; 39-40

    I was smaller than that a few years ago, but the extra loss did nothing for me but take away some good curves and boobs. I like how my waist-to-hips section looks with that curve going on, and my abs are still visible, etc at my current goal.

    I'm aiming for about 120.

    I was always 112 in my 20s and 30s but now I'm in my 40s, I fear that weight may make me look gaunt.

    RIght now I want to get back down to 130, but my long term goal is 120. I looked and felt great at that weight :)

    Maybe 110 for now. Lower depending on how I feel I look at that weight.

    thanks for the replies.. and for telling me i need weight training..
    remeasured, measurements 35.5-28.5-37.5
    @westendcurls you're almost 10 pounds lighter than me, so it's not unusual for your measurements to be 2 inches smaller.
    "you need weight training" is another way of saying "you're flabby".

    but anyways, i don't think 115 is extremely skinny. i'm going for 115 and i'm done growing. some of your replies were really helpful, so thanks!

    5'4.5 here, my goal is about 165. And goal body fat percentage is around 24% or so. Not super scale focused though so if I get to my goal appearance at a higher weight, it won't be an issue, under 140 isn't even on the radar. Although I am pretty small framed (very small ankles, wrists), I also have a good amount of muscle mass, estimated at 125-135 currently so you can do the math. :)

    My current weight is around 143lbs and my goal is to be 115lbs too!

    I have a smallish body frame so 115lbs would be pretty good for me. I would love to bring down my body fat percentage to at least 20% though. (:

    My goal weight is 140. It's what I weighed at 18, and it seems like the lowest weight I could reach healthily. If I get there and still feel like I can diet I'll reassess.

    I am quite muscular, so I am going for 140lb, to start. I used to be 133lb in my teens but I was too thin, and not toned at all. I would rather weigh more and be more toned and fit,

    I'm 5'4. My CW is 140 & goal weight is 128-130ish. I'm rather curvy (my mom says I have "child bearing hips") & don't want to lose them....right now I just have a bit too much of them. I'm eating 1230 cals daily & I've only gone over a couple of times. I eat more when I work out, but I don't workout regularly.

    115 seems a little small to me if you have a medium frame. Maybe between 125-120 would be better?

    around 140 I have a medium frame I don`t think I would look good any less than 140 just my personal opinion and am 5`5 and currently 168 and a size 8/10 jeans

    daily cals= 1330 + exercise between 300-500 depending on the day and yes I eat as much of them back as I can. I`m set on sedentary but I use a fitbit ultra and it acounts for my activity (adds cals if I am active and most days I am)

    I'm 5'4" and my goal is... Well I don't know, as much as I can lose?

    It sounds worse than it is, at 168lbs I'm pretty sure the most I could lose is 50lbs, and that would still put me in a healthy range.

    I'm also 5'5" and my goal is between 140-145 lbs. I want to be strong, not skinny!

    I've got a pear shape, but I'm athletic and I'll have a lot of muscle on me at that weight (which I want!). That's also what I weighed in high school when I was a competitive tennis player practicing 3-4 hours a day plus cross-training and tournaments on the weekends.

    I started the year at 165 (tied for my highest weight, measurements 38-31-43). 7 weeks later I'm only down to 158, but my measurements are down to 36-29.5-42, so I'm happy with my progress. I'm aiming for a net 1450-1550 calories per day (any less than that and I'm tired all the time) and strength training 3 days a week. I'm slowly adding cardio back in (tough with my asthma & allergies, but ok if I don't push myself too hard), and I'm aiming for 30-45 minutes 3 days for that too.

    115lbs is fine for someone your height and age. And by people telling you to weight train, they aren't calling you fat. A lot of people around here find that they like the results of their weight loss better when they add some strength/resistance training. (myself included)

    My usual is 135 & my body has changed so much since I've gotten older that 145 looks pretty darn good now. My husband told me no more losing.....

    My first goal is 128 (currently 133) and after that I think I'll reassess - but I'd really love to hit 120,

    I'm 5'5, I'm around 141 lbs right now, I'd like to get to 132. I hold most of my fat on my bottom, but I like to look slightly chubby so my goal isn't going to be that low. My measurements are like 38-28-38 and I'd like to at least get my waist to 27 inches and shrink my legs as much as possible... but I'll honestly take everything I can! XD

    goal weight for me is 150-155.

    This is my goal weight too. I'm about 200lbs atm and I don't think 115 ish is achieveable with maintenance for me. Not as a first goal at least.
