    I'm between 5'1 and 5'2 and my goal is 130 right now. I have a long way to go so as I get closer I hope I can better evaluate how my body is responding and what will be healthy for me.

    Aiming for 135-140. I look very fit at that weight with muscle.

    I am 5'2", 120lbs.

    I used to be 108lbs a few years ago but then got in to lifting. I am actually SMALLER now at 12lbs heavier.

    The scale doesn't tell all.

    I am 5ft 2" 33 year old mother of 2 with 24month old youngest and my goal is150 I am very curvy and wear my weight well. I started at 209 current weight 191 so I have a great deal of weight to loose. I weighed 166 six years at wedding and looked great at that size but I didn't have any room to wiggle with so that's why I would like to be 150.

    My goal weight is to bench around 130, deadlift near the 200, Squat in the 190 category, and overhead press my body weight.
    Far to go, but I can dream and work hard towards it.

    5'3, and my goal weight right now is 124. I'll probably reevaluate when I get there though! I might go slightly lower depending on how I look/feel.

    My goal weight is 140. It puts me at a healthy BMI and is also very attainable for me.

    I'm 5'1" and my current goal weight is 130-135. I am currently 158. Once I get closer to my goal, I'll re evaluate whether I'm happy with my body or want to lose more. I'm more concerned with how I look and feel, not a specific number, but having a goal weight at least gives me a reasonable goal before I start nit-picking muscle definition, etc.

    I am 5'2 and I'd like to be somewhere between 100 - 110. I'm planning on aiming low and then gaining a bit back in muscle.

    I couldn't choose one really. I look in the mirror and think "I can lose another inch" but there's no point chasing a number on a scale. I could make that number change in 36 hours by going low carb and shedding water.

    I'm 5 fot 3 and 112lb, thinking I'm gonna go down to 110lb, because it's a nice round number, then maintain, then bulk until I don't like the mirror anymore, then lose back down... repeat repeat.

    Go more off looks than scale numbers. A wonky floor can mess up a scale anyway. Mine gives me a different number in every room of the house.

    THIS. I'm 5'1" - I'm just trying to shed the last dregs of body fat. Currently I'm a little under 123. It may/may not equate to -5 or -10 lbs, but I'm going to go by BF% and the tape measure.

    I like these weight charts because they account for frame size. However, if you're muscular it's possible to go over by a bit and still have a healthy body fat percentage.

    I'm 5 ft 2 in. I started out at 172 lbs in early 2011.
    I am currently at about 131 lbs, and feeling good!
    My lowest weight in early 2012 was 126. I re-gained and re-lost a portion of the weight.
    Now I'm trying to get under 130 again, and then maintain in the 125-128 range. I am now focusing more on overall fitness, health, and toning rather than just the number on the scale. Originally after losing 40 lbs, I had my mind set that I wanted to get down to 115 lbs, but now I have accepted that while that is fine for some people, it's just not realistic for me and my body type.

    I would like to hit 105 someday, but am content at 112 for now. Frankly, maintenance can be hard enough!

    I'm 5 ft 3" and my overall goal is 100lbs. I was that before and I felt and looked great. Right now my weight is always fluctuating between 123-127. I'm not unhappy with my weight now I just want to be healthier and get in better shape :) I'm aiming for 120 right now, then taking it 5lbs at a time. When I really buckled down on my eating and exercise I got back down to 113 but after the holiday season gained it all back XP

    I think the ideal weight loss in 5ft 2'' girls are from 105 to 117 lbs. I am 5ft 4'' and my current weight is 131 lbs. I am trying to lose my weight, I wish to get 121 one day. ;)
