This person does not count because this person has very little body fat and a LOT of muscle. She has the build of a professional soccer player. Most of us are not blessed like that.
Good to know.

I'm 5'5" and would like to get back to my low weight of 138, but have drifted up to 144. I could see 135 being a very nice weight, though.0

5'1" and I weighed in this morning at 101.4, but that was right after a 9+ mile run. I usually hover around 103ish. I've lost 40 pounds over the last 2 years (slow and steady!), and I'm really happy where I am. Calories to maintain are 1640, but I LOVE to eat, so I run at least 5-6 miles every day.

To be "blessed" means that it's God given, but also implies that she didn't work for it. I see that she did work for it, and that she didn't just wake up and look the way that she does.
If anyone appears to have the build of a professional soccer player, then they have worked for it. If she was 50 lbs overweight, you wouldn't be saying that. I've been told that my bone structure/build is good for a runner, but nobody told me that when I was 50 lbs overweight. And if I DO have a good runner's build that doesn't mean that I exert any less energy than another person when I run. Why are we discounting people who work for their bodies? How is it that they don't count? Are we shaming people for being fit? What a way to minimize the work that someone else has done! Go out there and do the work yourself instead of minimizing other people's progress.
My heaviest weight was 185. I am currently 133 and I've maintained within 5 lbs of my current weight since December. I'm 5'5". My original goal weight was 125, but I'm pretty happy where I am. I would prefer to be more muscular. I know what I would need to do to be more muscular: lift. And I fully intend to get back into lifting in the immediate future.
I work my butt off, and I'm blessed that I can appreciate when people put the work in.

5' 10" 149.5 this morning, LOL. My goal is 150 and but I want to get down to 145 to give myself a little buffer, so I never get above 150. I reached my goal a month ago. Now I need to work on toning up. If I am actually smaller and more fit than I am now, weight does not matter so much. I need to start doing some weight training and go from there.0

I am 5'1" 130lbs, I would like to weigh 120 but have maintained the 130lbs for 6 months now. These last 10lbs have been a killer to lose.0

I actually wasn't blessed like that either. I've been working hard for years to look the way I do.
Mirin those quads. That's pretty much the look I want for my own eventually.0 -
5'4, 120lbs. I have a range of 115-125. I have been maintaining for nearly a year now.0
-
5' 5.5", maintaining for a over a year right around 135-140. It seems to be my set point, it's not too hard for me to maintain that.0

5'8" and 145. I'm 51. Age matters too. Younger folks can weigh less and look ok. When I got down to 125 a few years (due to sickness) I looked terrible.0
