    I'm 4'10 and 31 years old. I am just now restarting my weight loss journey at 135 pounds. My goal is 108-110 pounds.... That is my happy weight (from what I remember :) my body and I liked it at that weight....)

    I'm 5'2 and I've been every weight between 200lbs and 95lbs (totally unhealthy and was a vegan!) Im currently around 160lbs but would like to get back down to around 120. I truly feel like this is a healthy weight for anyone around this height. When I weighed less than 120 I actually stopped getting my period. However, if I've learned anything over the years is to STOP looking at numbers and trying to be a targeted weight. Just be the weight that you feel the best at and feel the most comfortable, confident, and healthy!

    Best of luck girls, you're all beautiful!!

    I am 5 foot 1, I started at 161 (my heaviest) I am now at 140. I am trying to get to about 133 by the new year... but my goal weight is 115-120. That will be the lowest I have been in my adult life.

    I'm 5'3" and 3/4 (my doctor loves seeing me argue that I have to be 5'4" by now). Weight right now: 221 Goal weight: 170-180. I highly doubt I will get to the standard weight for some one my height (120-135) just because how my family is shaped (big natural breast or huge thighs/hips).

    I'm 5' 3.75". Currently I'm around 123 lbs ... the heaviest I've been was last year, at 136lbs. I've gone down to 121 lbs but in the process messed up my metabolism since I only ate 1200 cals a day and my body got used to it, but I could never afford to go under it. So I decided to find my TDEE and take a 20% deficit and see how that goes. It's resulted a weight gain of 2-3 pounds so far...but I feel so much better than before. My goal weight is 105 lbs, which gives me a 5 pound leeway between 105 - 110 when I switch to maintenance. I've been pretty consistently around 127-130 since I was 13, so this is all new territory for me.

    I'm 5'5 and currently weigh 108lbs my heaviest weight this year is 124lbs, my goal is 98lbs or a toned, fat less body whichever comes first. Have strict parents who are anti-diet need help, I'm 18 :)

    I'm not trying to be rude but for 5'5 I think 98lbs is too light. I maybe wrong but I have a cousin that's 5'7" 138lbs and not "fat" in the least. If I was you I would worry on adding muscle weight and not looseing.

    I'm not sure, but everyone I've talked to that is around my height says that normal is 116-140. I've never been under 140 and can't imagine myself lighter but at the same time I have cousins who are my height and are around 120 so I'll see. I just want to get down to a healthy weight and feel good again.

    I'm 5'2" and hoping for 130 - just want to get out of the obese/overweight zone! I might reevaluate when I'm at that size but for now 130 is fine. And I think I'd like some meat on my bones, just not the 70+ extra I have now.

    I'm 5`3 and currently I weight 150. (I think, no scale while on vacation) goal weight is 100 because I have an hourglass figure and I have a lot of weight in my thighs :P

    i'm 5'2" and i'm at my highest weight (130); my goal is 100.
    i was 115 at the beginning of fall semester (freshman in college) and really didn't know i had gained the "freshman 15" (literally) until my psychiatrist pointed out my weight gain.

    so now i've come back to mfp with a dead-set goal of losing 30 pounds by march 8, when i see her again.

    i'd love to connect with some of you and be each others' encouragement; feel free to send my friend requests(:

    I'm 5'1'', 25 years old. SW 167lbs in July 2013. Goal weight is maybe 120lbs? Not sure. I'd like to lose 10 more pounds or so & see how I feel. I'm 126lbs now. I'd rather work on toning/ strength training to tighten up. We're going to try for baby #2 in May, so I'd be happy getting down to 120 by then

    5' exactly here. 24 years old. I did well enough before on MFP but lost myself by not maintaining and ended up gaining my weight back. Current weight is 135 lb. Goal weight is 105-110. Just need to get started!

    I am 5'2" and my current weight is 132 ( gained a couple over the holidays :( ) My highest weight was 190 right after I gave birth to my daughter almost 6 years ago. I lost 40 pounds rather quickly and then just stalled and weighed between 145-150 for a couple of years. I finally got motivated to lose the rest when my husband and I decided to celebrate our 15 year anniversary in Jamaica. I got down to 128 before the trip and felt good. Since then I've been hanging around 130-135. My goal weight is between 120-125. I am on day seven of Insanity...hoping this will help!

    I'm 5"4' and I'm currently 145lbs with a BF% of about 28. At my heaviest I was 210lbs and my BF was a little over 50%. My goal weight is about 110-115 with around 15% BF. I've been overweight my whole life and can't remember ever being below 160 so my goal is just based on pictures I've seen of other people. I just want to be lean and have clearly defined muscles, so whatever weight or BF I have to be at will be my end goal. Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year!

    5'2", 24 years old. HW: 233 CW: 222 GW: 140ish. I usually waver between 210 and 220 lbs without changing anything. I haven't seen under 200 since High school (came thisclose with Weightwatchers a few years ago), but that's my short term goal.

    I'm 5'0 and my first goal weight is 160lb. My second goal is 130, I'll se what my bf % is at that point and see if I need to lose more. I've already lost 52lbs (combo before I came on here and after) and I still need to loose 50 more lbs to get to 160.

    I'm 5'4 and my goal weight is 120 lbs. I have really chunky legs I swear and it's a part of why I want to lose weight. I gain fast and in these legs.:(

    I'm 5'1 1/2, my goal weight is 100lbs and if I make that 95lbs so I can be on the low scale of bmi for marathon running. I'm currently 125lbs and I feel really sluggish and unmotivated to go about life. My highest was 130lbs and I honestly just wanted to lay around and sleep all day. It was awful. I never wanna let myself get to that again. I kinda saw it as self harm in some perspective. I'm sorry to anyone I offended. This is my honest self thoughts. I'm generally use to being 106lbs so that was a weird feeling for me being at 130lbs.

    I gain at my legs, butt and inside of my arms. I hate it. I've been living in baggy pants and leggings lately since I don't fit in my pants.
    I'm on a plant based diet now (basically vegan) for medical reasons.

    Am 5'1, currently at 173lbs, with a goal of 120. I started at 182 lb a few months ago when I was successful at losing a little bit, but then I stopped my diet.

    I think I'm generally legit big boned (wide shoulders, wide hips) so I think 120-125 is a nice spot for my figure. If needed I'll go to 115 as the lowest. I just want a healthy look :)
