    I'm 5'4" SW:196, CW:158. I was originally aiming for 11 stone (154) but now that I am close, I realise that I have to reevaluate and my next goal is going to be 10 stone 6lb (146) and see how I feel. The lowest I think I will feel healthy at would be 10 stone (140).

    I am 5'4 1/2 ... I am 52 yrs. old.I weigh 158 sometimes 160. That is the most I've ever weighed. I would like to weigh 140. I used to never have to worry about gaining weight; but now for the past few years I have remained stable but can't seem to lose weight! I would love to be 130 but I do not think that is attainable for me.

    That is great.. I get confused.. I figured my calorie goal is 1410 daily.. so I eat all.. then I walk and burn calories, do I need to eat these burned calories?

    I am 5'5 ( just a shy bit under but no one ever challenges me =D ) and I too am working more on a goal size rather than weight. I am currently at a 14-16 and aiming for a 5-6. I understand muscle weight will be a big factor on the scale and I refuse to judge my progress that way.

    In all honesty, I only eat back my exercise calories if I am actually HUNGRY. I never eat just to eat. Listen to your body. It really is the best indicator imo.

    5'5 and i'm not sure what my goal weight is since i'm more so working towards a goal size. my goal size is size 6 pants. i really couldnt care less what i weigh once I get to my goal size .


    This!! My real goal is to be in the "single digits" for pants size.

    I'm striving for between 130 and 140, but I'll wait to see what looks good on my frame.

    I'm a little over 5'5 and my goal weight is somewhere between 120 and 130. I was about 120 before I got pregnant with my first daughter over 9 years ago. I was 130 about 4 years ago after my 3rd daughter was born. After I stopped breastfeeding I packed on a ton of weight. So anywhere in the 120-130 range will make me happy.

    I'm 5'4", 26 years old, and my goal weight is 130 lbs. The lowest weight I've ever hit as an adult was 136, and I remember being very happy with my waist up, but still carrying a fair amount of fat in my lower body. I figure if (when!) I hit 130, I'll go get a body fat test (pro tip: I found a gym that does Hydrostatic Baseline Fat Testing for non-members for only $35) and see if that gets me within the optimal range.

    I'm 5'4"... after losing 30 lbs, I am trying desperately to get to 135, but my body is VERY content to stay at 140 lbs. I'm quite muscular, wear a size 4 and am (somewhat) content with being 140 (I think). Last 5 lbs is difficult.

    I started at 201 pounds (higher, actually, but we'll just stick with 201). I'm currently at 139 (as of this morning!), and I think my ultimate goal will be 130 - but I'm more interested in wearing a size 6 jeans (currently wearing a very lose size 8, so probably not long now... maybe I'll go shopping soon...). :) We'll see. When I started, my first goal was just to get to 170. Then 150. Once I hit 150, I wanted to reach 145 which is 'normal' BMI for 5'4", then when I hit 145, I realized I still had some belly and thigh fat I'd like to see gone, so I changed my goal to 140 - and I still have some of that darn fat. I'll likely be happy once my 'pooch' shrinks down, even if I haven't hit 130 yet. Its not too far from being gone, so we'll see.

    I am 5"4 and my goal is to get to 135, see how it looks on me and go from there! I have a big butt and boobs, so that adds extra weight and I don't want to lose them.
    I guess it all depends on how I am feeling but for now it is 135.

    I am 5' 5". Started MFP in July without really knowing for sure what my weight was. (Scale-phobic)
    Was between sizes 10 and 12 on a small frame, so I am thinking I was around 167 or 168.
    Now am wearing 8 and 10' s (10's are loose) Went to the doctor's yesterday and found out I weight 155.
    Still a long way to go, as I want to be 120-125, but encouraged to see the progress.
