    I'm 5'4'' and my goal weight is 140. I was 120 for years but that was before 4 kids. I just don't know if my body can get back to that and don't know if I really want to put the effort into getting back to that. I think I'll be happy at 140.

    5'3 currently 146 and need to get at max 139!!! But I weight train so 139 May look better on me than someone who doesn't.

    Right now my goal weight is 120 at 5'3"...but I've never actually been that low at this height, so I have no idea if it's right! I got down to 130 once and still felt like I had a long way to go since I had numerous rolls :anguished: We'll see!

    I'm 5'4.5" and currently looking at 130lbs. I'll re-evaluate once I get there. (profile pic is 143 lbs).

    5'3" and goal of 140. I'm 55 and have 5 kids. No desire to put in the effort to get/stay lower and I think I need some flesh on my bones to avoid that gaunt/lined look.

    Mine is 140, I might think about a little lower, but it was always hard for me to sustain anything much below 140, so I'll likely leave it at that. :) I'm 5'4". I figure whatever you can keep up that is healthier than you are now is still an improvement, right? :)

    I'm 5'4", 28 (no kids) and small framed, and while I don't lift heavy I do work out moderately. I've maintained around 118 pounds for a couple years, which I know is lighter than a lot of similar height women but accounts for my build. My highest weight was about 145 and I looked visibly overweight then.

    I am 50 and have a teenaged son.
    I'm 5 ft 3.5 inches. SW 157 and CW 136.
    Never dreamed that I'd drop 20 lbs so smoothly! I'm feeling pretty happy now but I'm wondering if I could drop below 130. Although I like the definition in my arms and waist, I still have lots of thigh flab. Maybe that would diminish with a few more lost pounds. BUT - I'm feeling great at present and I've just changed my MFP goal to lose 0.5 lbs per week, whereas I was aiming for 1 lb weekly since January. If I stick around 136, I'll be good.

    5'3, a lean 120lbs. I was 103 right out of high school and a couple years after until I gained this weight, but I don't want to get back to that.

    5'3". My "for now" goal is 140. I might aim for mid-range after that, depending on how I feel.

    I'm 5"3 and my first goal is 130 lbs. That's what I weighed before 2 kids. I had more muscle and less fat then, so I will probably need to be closer to 125.

    I'm 5'3 and have struggled with losing weight due to a broken thyroid; started at 175 about 2 years ago and am now at 163 and with my MEDS working beautifully finally!! I'm hoping to get to 150 and I'll be so happy; I wish for 140 but let's see how we go!

    I'm 5'4 and I'd like my first goal weight to be 180 then go from there. I've had 3 kids and my body just ain't what it used to be! I smell food now and gain weight ☺️

    5'3 here. Currently at 185, and my goal weight is 135-140. I have natural big thighs and wide hips, so I tend to think I look kinda scrawny if I go below 130.

    I'm 5'2 but don't have a particularly petite frame. My doctor says I should be at 130, but 120-135 would be 'close enough!
