    When I was my healthiest (size 6-8) and working out I weighed 135. I've been as low as 118 but was skeletal/anorexic looking at that weight (size 0-2).

    My goal right now is 145. Once I hit that I will re-evalutate. However, I'm pretty proportional (168ish lbs and a size 8 currently), so we'll see.

    I'm just under 5'4" and my goal weight is 120lbs. I wouldn't mind pushing for 115lbs, but if I can hit 120, I'd be happy. I looked my best then.

    My goal weight is 115 lbs, but I'd like to reach 120 lbs at most.

    Speaking of which, how are you guys losing weight? I haven't been able to lose weight in a really long time... :(

    I am 5'5" and I will be so happy once I hit 150 but my ultimate goal will be somewhere between 125-140. Haven't been normal weight since having kids so I am not sure what will look/feel good.

    I'd be happy at 140, what I was in high school, right before my battle with bulimia started.
    My "healthy" goal is 125.
    My dream goal is 100.

    Mine is 125-130. I figure if I look and feel good at 130 there is no need to lose anymore.

    This is a very interesting question with quite varied answers! I love it!

    I am about 5' 5.5". As an adult I never weighed under 150 until I crash dieted my way down to 135 pounds at 40 years old. I'd rather die than exercise, so I had no muscle tone but also no gut above or below my belt on my size 8 jeans when I sat down. I loved that! Since then, I got up to 205 and when I was 50 I made a lifestyle change of healthy eating and regular exercise and weight training with light dumbbells at home. I got my 152 pound body into any pair of size 8 jeans I could find! EXERCISE TRANSFORMS YOUR BODY! It was hot news to me!

    I went up 18 pounds due to lack of diligence, so I am shooting for 135 pounds again with the extra advantage of exercise this time! I have broad shoulders and hips, medium boobs, smaller waist, and thunder thighs. Currently I am wearing size 10 jeans with one old size 8 pair that fit fine. I'd like to see what a size 6 looks like! I am very pear shaped without exercise, but when I am diligent, the pear is gone and everything fits GREAT! That is how I know when I'm there. Plus I am one who does believe in the BMI as a GUIDE. I consider myself medium boned, so smack dab in the middle is 135.

    And ladies, take this for what it is worth: I heard Dr. Oz say, "any woman (who stays) over 150 pounds is very likely to get diabetes at some point in her lifetime." I believe exess weight is a factor in many disease processes. Just an opinion. I don't know how close I can get to 135 or if I can maintain it, but I'm giving it my all this time! Regardless of where my weight loss ends, I plan to continue to eat very healthfully and maintain my daily exercise program indefinitely.

    Good luck to everyone!

    I'm 5'5" and my goal weight is 115 pounds for my figure skating. Too bad it requires so much muscle and that really adds on the pounds ):

    Well I'm just shy of 5'5" and my goal weight is 108-110. I've been there before and my entire family is very slim, so yes, this is a healthy goal for ME. Not for everyone, obviously.

    I'm 5'5 - goal weight is 140/137 because it feels achievable - I have no idea what I will look like when I'm that weight mind you so I guess I'll get there and then re-assess....

    My ultimate goal is 126lbs, I don't know how achievable it is as I've never been that slim, but it's worth trying!

    I'm 5'4" and although I would KILL to be 125lbs I am thinking a realistic 133lb.

    Guess it depends on shape of your body. If I lose too much weight I end up with NO BOOBS! I want to lose it off my bum & hips but thats always the last place I lose weight! Tricky.

    Add me as a friend - I could use like minded people to help me on my way - and vice versa! :smile:
