    Im 5'4 and I don't have a goal weight as such because scales make me go mad!!! My heaviest was 175lbs and everyone I haven't seen in a while is always like "Wow, you have lost alot, you are looking good" I estimate i've lost about 15 - 20lbs (and gained muscle) based on clothing size. My goal is to run 10k in less than 50mins.... to do that I'll have to be super fit and pretty lean... I record my intake, but I don't heavily restrict i'll just keep training and let my body get there in it's own time =)

    I'm 5'5. I'd like to get to somewhere in the 125 range, but I'd be happy if I could maintain under 130 as long as I can keep my strength training progression. Right now I'm around 135ish from 147 without having done much in the way of dieting because I recently went off daily Zyrtec, which apparently gives me the appetite of a teenage boy.

    5'4' here. I was 136 two weeks ago but was up to 138 when I went into maintenance for a diet break/possible recomp. I'm a little all over the place. No lower than 130 for me though!

    I like it when people set body fat % goals instead of a specific weight. It frees you from the scale. If you have a good body composition that you're happy with, who cares what the scale says?

    Good point. This is why I bought calipers to estimate my percent body fat.

    Hi,
    I'm 5'5 and currently weight 118lbs. It's been a 5year battle to get to where I am now, so my aim now is to reduce my body fat percentage, hopefully to around 18% if possible. I've starting lifting this week and don't care if I put on weights because hopefully it'll be muscle weight and I'll look leaner.

    I'm 5'4 my goal weight is 150lbs. I see most people say 110-120lbs but I have thick thighs, which I love, and don't want to lose them.

    I'm 5'3" and my initial goal is 135. I have no idea what that will look like on me, so we'll see after that! At that point, my focus will shift to fitness goals.

    I am 5'4" and hope to get down to 140. I have a bigger build so if I go lower than that I look sick. I haven't weighed myself in a few weeks because I get obsessed. I'm thinking im around 165 right now though.

    5'6". Goal, 127-130. CW 139. I loved my body at 118 in my 20s, it don't think that's reasonable anymore. Well see where I land.

    I'm 5'5...started at 167 lbs (my highest non-pregnant weight). I was 145 lbs pre kids and while in the military and fit, so never all that tiny. With that being said, I set my goal at 150 lbs, but now that I'm 151 lbs 7 weeks later, I'm going with 145 as final goal.

    5'3.5 (the half-inch is important to me ok), aiming for about 100.
