    I'm 5'4

    I'd like to get to 115-118 pounds, but I want to get some muscle tone since my stomach has always poked out
    , especially since I have a petite chest, it makes it seem even worse-proportion wise!

    Right now I'm 127 lbs, I never used to have trouble with wait until I got to college..

    I am 5 ft and I try to stay at 110-111. I bought a a Fitbit Force that tracks everything and has been helpful in tracking calories burned and how many calories I can eat each day according to my activity.

    Hi,

    I'm 5"4 and I want my goal to be 125-130 pds. People look at me and tell me "Where do you think you are fat?" Uh. my mid section but they can't always tell because I suck my gut in and have been for years, and weigh about 160 pounds.(now lately I will sometimes let it go):ohwell: I have been combining several things lately like low carb one day to just low calories, lipotropic mic shots with phentermine and at night listening to a hypnotism cd.

    5'1", 27 y/o. Currently 127lbs. Would really like to get down to 110lbs with 15% body fat and some lean back muscle :D

    Eating is a mental battle more than it is a physical one. Train your brain. Drink lots of water to fill your stomach so you're not always so hungry. Mind over matter, right? Just don't starve yourself.

    5'2 and currently hovering around 122. I'm pretty happy here but I'd like to see what <120 looks like and lock into that range.

    Sadly I think the mind always changes. I used to wonder what 125 would look like, never thought I'd find out. But then this past December I freaked out when I saw 127 on the scale and want 122 to be my high, and never see 124 again unless I get pregnant.

    I'm trying to focus on fitness more than weight, though. I'm doing all the right things now but the weight is going up, I probably lost muscle when I was sick. I'm holding off the inch from my belly I lost, though, and if I can continue to make progress there, I'll care less about the 122. I hope. I like muscle, it's a good thing. It's fat I want less of.

    I'm 5'2" and shooting for 125 lbs. I played around with different weights in this BMI calculator to help me come up with a healthy goal:

    Once I get to 125 lbs, I'll see if I want to drop another 5 lbs, but I probably won't shoot for less than 120 lbs - I like food too much for that *kitten*! LOL!

    I'm 31, 5'2" and currently at 128lbs. Shooting for around 120ish, see how I feel and then work on maintaining around that number.

    I'm 5'4 and my goal weight is 145-150 currently. I'm bigger boned and if I were to get to the weight I should be according to BMI, you would see my bones everywhere. Even if I would lose most of my body fat and be mostly muscle I still would not be 115! I don't know if I would want to be 115!

    I'm 27 y/o and my goal weight is 125lb. I'm currently at 136lb (as of this past Monday). When I was in high school I weighed a light 115lb, but I was a three-season athlete and ate terribly. 10 years later and I'm in a stressful desk job that gives me enough freedom for an hour of exercise a day.

    Amazing where the time goes!

    I'm 5'4" and I'm aiming for 130 now; I'll reassess when I get there.

    I'm 5' and around 140. I have listed a goal of 115-120... but it's a loose one. I will be turning 40 this year and have noticed that my goals have changed. I no longer want to be "thin"... I want to be strong. If one comes with the other, great. If not... oh well.

    I'm currently around 165, I'm trying to get to 155. I feel best in the 150s. When I was young and oobsessive I got to 140, which was supposedly a healthy weight but I was a little bony and mentally controlled by my weight, which was awful.

    I'm 5'4".

    I don't really know either, but I'm 5'4 and I'm going for 120, it all depends on how I look.

    I'm 5'4". My goal is 18% body fat. Right now I'm probably around 19% so very close.

    The best way to judge is by the mirror, not the scale.

    Hi I'm 5'4" and I'd like to reach 135 to see how I feel, then if I need to loose more I will.

    I am 5' 2".

    My goal is 130 or as low as 120 through the diet, I can "fix" anything else via exercise. In high school I weighed 120 and people thought I weighed more like 100. I have a lot of muscle mass, always have, guys would pick me up and say "wow, you are heavy". All these years later, I still have a lot of muscle mass, people always think I weigh about 20 lbs. less than I really do.

    I think your goal should be what is a "normal" weight for you, we are all different, have different amounts of muscle, body frames, etc.

    I am 5'2. I felt good at 135, but would love to be at 125. The smallest as an adult I've been was 115, but looking back I looked to thin. I have 40-50 lbs to lose, so just 10 lbs sounds good now, lol.

    I'm 5'4", and my initial goal is 140lbs to give me a BMI of 24. Only a few more pounds to go, so may re-assess after that

    I'm 5'4. My goal is 165 right now (and possibly lower later on). That would be the smallest I've ever been as an adult. I am not shooting for anything lower than 140 (if even that) because I am rather big boned and I think I would look too thin. I also have very muscular legs (always have) and a large chest so anything below that would look funny :)

    I'm 5'4 and 42 years old. My overall goal is 128 at final resting point.
    My immediate goal is 154, because I cannot think that far down the road.
    I take a few pounds at a time.

    I'm 5'1" and 143 lb. I plan to get down to 128 first and then see how I look and decide if I want to loose more.

    5'4", 24 years old.

    I'm currently just trying to lose excess body fat and keep gaining muscle. 130lbs is a tentative aim, subject to change. The lightest I've been is 145lbs.

    I want to squat all the plates on my weight tree, and get my bench to 75kg+.
