Hey there...just a question for all of you lovely MFPers?? What is your height, and what is the goal weight that you are shooting for?

The closer that I get to my goal (112lbs) the more that people shake their finger at me and tell me that I should be stopping right now (currently 136lbs). I am 5'3" and would like to lose another 24lbs.

So I would like to know what y'all are shootin for!!

thanks everyone :)

    I'm 5'4" and I'm shooting for 120. I can relate to you Tara- people are constantly telling me I should stop now. However, you have to do what feels good to you- after all, it's YOUR body.

    Excited to watch your journey! :)

    A healthy weight is contingent on your age and height. I'm 5'4" and have been told for my height 129 is a healthy weight. I am leaning more towards 135 to 140 because of my age.

    I'm 5'8 and I'm gunning for a size 11-13. I'm not caring so much about the weight because I lift weights and such. I care more about how many inches lost as opposed to pounds :)

    5"1 and currently shooting for 135-140, which people also tell me is "too skinny". This statement usually comes from women and I figure that, loosely translated, it means "if you were thin, I think you would be prettier than I am". LOL

    I'm 5'4 and I'm shooting for 140 pounds....if I didn't have so much to lose I'm sure I would have set an even lower goal weight though. I just remembered that I weighed that in college and I was happy w/ the way I looked then.
    I think you look great now and could totally stop, but I wouldn't shake my fist at you if you want to keep losing. Go for it and good luck reaching your goal weight!

    I'm 5'9'' and would be ecstatic if I got back to my pre-marriage weight of 170 but once I get there I'm sure I'll want to keep going. Ultimately though I'm looking for how my clothes fit.

    Can boys play too? :tongue:

    6' tall and shooting for 10% body fat which should be somewhere in the low 190's. After that I'd like to stay at 10% and get back up to 200 lbs.:happy:

    I'm 5'10" and goal weight is between 150-175 - waiting to hit 175, then I will see how I look/feel and if I want to keep going or go to maintenance. Ultimately want to be size 16 or smaller - tired of plus size, not as much cute stuff!

    Well, in all actuality, I originally aimed for 120.
    Then I realized that might look bad on me.
    Then I set my goal to 140.
    Now it's just whenever I am happy with my appearance.
    Like a size 5, I'd be happy.
    As long as I looked healthy.
    I'm still thinking like 130.

    And I'm 5'6"

    5' 9" I used to be 5' 10" but I seem to have lost an inch after my accidents... I would be comfortable around 175 - 180, I used to fight at 178

    I'm 5'3 and my goal is 125, but I think if I ever get there (I'm sorry, WHEN I get there!) I'll probably re-assess and possibly try for 115 (all depending on how I feel). My boyfriend told me he wants me to stop around 140 because any lower and I'll have no "meat" but I disagree!

    5'3" shooting for the lowest I have ever been as an adult... 120-125... I think it all depends on your build... My sister is about 5'4" and about 110... but she has a completely different build/shape than I do...

    well...first of all, thanks you for everyone's responses!!! I can see that we all have a very wide range for our weightloss goals, and that I will just have to see where I feel the best when I get there!! I will keep my goal at 112 but start reevaluting at 120 and then again 115!!! you guys are all amazing and I wish you all the best!! If anyone would like some extra support on their journey, feel free to add me as a friend! :)

    That's funny! I'm 5'6" and 136-140, and I rarely get that.

    To answer the question: Get to the weight where you FEEL healthy and confident. Get comfortable in your skin.

    Statistically, a few factors that measure "healthy" are body composition (<32% body fat) and resting heart rate (<80 bpm). Those are great measurements of progress (it's exciting to see those numbers drop, even in your weight doesn't change).

    5'3 and I want to be between 110-115
    but more importantly I want to look in the mirror and see toned arms,strong abs and the legs of someone who runs a whole frickin' lot. So as long as I have those things ,if I'm a bit higher than 115 it won't matter.
    But yeah I want to be slim/a uk size 8 but very toned and athletic looking,i'm giving myself 30 weeks to lose 20lbs because right now i'm somewhere between 130-135.
    I'm putting the scales away and am going to go on solely how I feel and I play to only weigh myself once every 2 months. Hopefully by the time November 14th comes around I will be a completely different person.
