    I'm about 5' 3 1/2" and I have a medium bone structure. My goal is to get around 130lbs, or at least within 5lbs either way...

    BMI chart makes me want 122 (5lb more or less ok too)

    but recently I checked my body fat %, and getting to a goal of 20% body fat would put me at 129 lbs. So I suppose once I get down to 130, I will really try to build up muscle strength and burn as much more fat as I can, instead of just trying to lose the weight.

    I haven't been in the 120s for a long time, and the last time I was there I was battling bulimia and I didn't look healthy or fit at all (in fact I was very very unattractive at that weight). I'm hoping that with training and proper eating habits this time I will look much better.

    I'm 5'3 and currently at 125. I would like to get to around 118 pounds. More importantly, I would like to have a BF% around 14-16. My BF% is 25.

    I can't remember if I'm 5'3 or 5'4, LOL, but my starting goal's 150 because I got that filipino muscle structure :/. I figured if i still felt fat at that weight, I'd just keep going. /shrug

    Hmm, I think we did this but I like seeing everyone's stuff so I'll weigh in (pun?)

    118, though 115 would be better. I tend to be muscular but small boned. Trying to focus more on body composition but it's hard not to want that special little number.

    120.5 lbs is my goal weight. I had my body fat done a week ago and it was 19.7% which I was shocked by, I thought it would be in the mid-20's. I think i just carry the fat in the parts that weren't calipered because that can't be right.

    I'm 5'3" and my initial goal is 141 as that gets us into healthy BMI. After that my goal is 135lbs - I will see how I feel when I get there though (I'm 145 now). The lowest I have ever been is 125 and that felt (and looked when I look back on pictures) really small for me and not easy at all to maintain. I also think at 39 it's ok to weigh a bit more than I did at age 20!

    I'm 5'3" and 1/2! :)

    My goal weight is 120lbs, but my ultimate goal once I get in real lean, mean shape is 115lbs. I have wide hips too, but slender wrists/ankles so I think I'm medium bone wise.

    I am 5'3" and my goal weight is 125. But to be honest its been years (gulp, decades) since I have been at that weight, so I am not sure how I will feel or look when I get close to that size.

    This is my exact goal, too. I was in the 100-110ss all through high school, and when I look at photos of myself from then, I think I was too skinny. The photos of me around 130-135 in college look much nicer.

    I'm just above 155 right now, so still a ways to go...

    I'm 5' 2.5", and currently my goal is 120, although I'd love to eventually shoot for 115. I just hit 130.5 lbs at my weigh-in this morning, and CAN'T WAIT to be in the 120's for the first time in years :D

    That's awesome! Breaking each 10lb barrier rocks. I remember dropping from the 140s to 130s last summer. Felt so very good!

    I should clarify that my goal weight on my ticker is set at reaching 145 which is my first goal. My ultimate goal is 125, but I was worried I would find that weight loss too large and abstract to be motivating.
    By the way, how do you add "start weight, current weight etc etc" under your ticker?

    I'm 5'3" as well! whooo whoo!

    Starting Weight 2/6 - 151.7
    Weight now: 137.6-138.8
    Goal Weight - 130

    After I hit 130 I think I am going to go for 125lbs but not lower than that. I have a lot of muscle that adds to my weight but I am going to work on turning that into more lean muscle at the 130 mark. I'm hoping by Memorial Day weekend to hit 130!

    Howdy I'm 5ft 3 and my goal weight is 140lbs this will get me into the healthy weight on the bmi scale, I thought about losing more but I don't want to look too thin or have people say I look I'll. So when I get to my goal weight I'll decide then if I want to lose any more. Everyone is happt at a different weight u just have to find what's right for u :)

    I am between 5'3" & 5'4" and my goal weight is 128. I definately do not want to lose more than that because I want to keep my bootie and some curves so my clothes fit good...plus my husband would not be happy if I lost it all! lol
