    5'7 and my range is 130-136. I've been sitting pretty at 134 for quite a while. It's the number I consistently see on the scale.

    I'm 5'8", 50 yrs old, and my maintenance range is 130-136 (I aim for 132 - which gives me 2 under and 4 above for TOM, salty meals, etc (you know the drill). I am quite fine boned and my body fat percentage according to Fat2Fit tools is 18.5%. I used to weigh 125 when I was 25 which is still in my healthy BMI range but I know that would look too thin now at my age.

    edit: I go by the WHO & CDC charts as I figure they have a pretty good sample size for 'normal' (the whole world, lol)

    I'm 53, 5.4. Medium frame, and at 130. My goal was 135. but think I am most comfortable between 130-133.

    I am pretty steady even though Ive been at goal for a month or so and keep coming in under calorie goal daily.. I go between 129-131 - Still am figuring out numbers also and struggling to eat 1500 cal. (small eater) Hoping to up them to 1600 soon though as i am getting busier outside.

    Working on toning also.

    I usually bounce between 10 pounds. I don't like the high end (at this point it's 175), so I'm going to lose 10 more pounds and hopefully hover between 155-165. :)
    I'm still trying to figure out what weight looks good on me. I don't want to look sickly, I want to be hott!! Not a stick!:love:

    How is one to really know? Here are my ideal weights according to different formulas:

    Based on the Robinson formula , your ideal weight is 127.2 lbs

    Based on the Miller formula , your ideal weight is 133.2 lbs

    Based on the Devine formula , your ideal weight is 125.4 lbs

    Based on the Hamwi formula, your ideal weight is 123.7 lbs

    Based on the healthy BMI recommendation, your recommended weight is 104.4 lbs - 141.1 lbs <----What? 104 to 141?
    that's one hell of a range lmao.

    Realistically, i would say my maintenance Range is going to be from 140-150. I am 5-3 and yes, that is still a bit chunky, but...considering how much i weighed when starting this? (230) I think it's a realistic goal.

    I got down to my goal weight of 50kg (110lbs) but since then have gained a couple lbs, I weigh in always between 50kg-55kg (110lbs-121kg) Is this an okay maintenance range? I'm 5'1 tall as well.

    What is your maintenance range?

    I'm 5'1" & weigh 109lbs. Anything from 107-115 would be fine for me

    Yeah it's a great range. I'm the same size but with a little bone structure so mine is between 100-110, few pounds to spare either way.

    Good luck, and you're fine!!

    I'm 5'4" and my goal weight was 130, which is where I am now. However I prefer to be a few pounds lower than that and keep my range at 125 to 130. So right now I'm looking to loose a couple of pounds.

    I don't really care what my weight is when I reach my goal. I'm trying to build muscle so my maintenance weight will be higher than the average woman of the same height. The actual number I weigh has become unimportant and it's pretty liberating.

    I am the same as the poster above me, `126-132lbs is my happy range, anything below that is just too low for me :).
