LADIES who are 5'4'' or 5'5''

I am 5'4 (technically 5'3 and 3/4) I started at 160 and my goal is 127. Your goal sounds great to me. Good luck!

I'm 5' 2", but according to the BMI charts YOUR healthy weight is between 109 and 146 pounds. So you're pretty darn close, great job!

I am 5'3" and my goal weight is 125-130. Anything less than that for me I don't think would look good. I think it really depends on how you feel when you get to a certain weight. It really shouldn't be about the numbers on the scale but how you look and feel about yourself. I am at about 134 now and I am feeling really good about how I am looking so I may stop at 130.

Wow i can't believe i'm actually going to say this but i'm now finally 5ft 4inch after my femur was lengthened 2 inches lol. On here i started at 152 but in life i started to do some work at 160lbs. I would love to look athletic rather than skinny, so as long as i ain't wobbling would be nice. I would like 125 if possible though, as i think at that weight i would stop the dreaded wobble.

Good luck and i think it depends on your frame, mine isn't that big so at size 14 i look closer to a size 16, whereas my sister at size 14 looks really really skinny!

I'm 5'5" and my goal weight range is 125 to 128, no lower, no higher. I like to give myself a small range that like. That's where I feel most comfortable and I maintained that for years. Just the last year I've put on 6 pounds and it's been driving me crazy! I have a small frame.

I would like to get down to between 120-125. But I would like to build up muscle so I don't look gaunt. Jillian Michaels weighs about 115-120, but I think I have a larger frame than her.

Jillian Michaels is only about 5'1", she's teeny.

My weight crept up to about 160 last fall thanks to depression. My normal, just coasting along, wouldn't mind losing, but ok if I don't and can eat whatever I want, weight was around 145. When I started getting healthy, I didn't care about the number on the scale at all... I just wanted to be fit enough to run a 5k. Then I joined MPF and had to put something in for my goal, and chose 135.

When I got back down to somewhere around 150-145, I bumped it down to 130, because I hadn't seen much difference in the first 10 to 15 pounds I lost. But to be honest, I didn't see much difference in the 10-15 I gained, either. :laugh:

Now, I'm 137, and really happy with it. There's still a few mushy parts I'd like less mushy, but I don't care about the scale again. I'm still aiming to lose .5 a week, but fitness is once again my primary focus. If I lose the mushy bits without losing another pound, that's just fine. Fitness wise? Got no problem running those 5ks now, and I'm training for 10k.

I've been thin and even skinny before. As a kid, it was just a fast metabolism and in my early 30s it was a jaw problem that prevented me from eating normally. Now that I'm strong and fit and exercise like a fiend, I'm going to weigh more than I did then because I didn't have the muscle tone I have now, even if I get to the same size I once was.

So... my advice is just to play it by ear. Re-evaluate your goal every 5 or 10 pounds. Take pictures, too. I don't always see the change in the mirror, but when I see photos, I think, "Hot damn! I look GOOOOOD!"

I'm 5'4", and I weigh between 125 and 130, depending on the time of the month. I'd like to drop some pounds, since I feel most comfortable at 118-120.
