I've been thinking a lot lately about what my goal should actually be, at first i thought i would be happy at 120lbs but lately I've been thinking maybe 110lbs my problem is would i look too small at 110lbs. I am 5,4 with a medium bone frame. I know a girl who is medium framed like me and she is 106! and it looked good on her but she is 5,2 and I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I found pictures of myself around 120 yesterday and i think i looked a little big, but i was 5,3 at the time. ugh if someone could tell me what too do and even if you have pictures I would REALLY appreciate it.

    Just get down to 120 first and see what you think. I wouldn't worry about dropping down to 110 until you reach your first goal. Take some pictures then appraise the situation at that time.

    This! I'm the same way. I'm also 5'4" and I know I want to get somewhere in the 115-125 range. So I set my goal to 125. Once I get there, I'll decide if I want to lose another 10 or switch to maintenance. It's not like you are locked in or anything, so don't sweat it!

    Why not just try it and see? When you get to your first goal, you can always drop another five pounds and see if you like it. If you think you look too skinny, it's not a big deal to put it back on. No one can tell you how you're going to look before you get there.

    I am 4'11" with a large frame (as measured by elbow and wrist). I'm aiming for 52kg/115lbs.

    Have you tried these calculators?
