    I'm with your mom! If I manage to get down to the top of my BMI range for normal, I'll be freaking thrilled! :)

    Based on the Robinson formula (1983), your ideal weight is 119.3 lbs
    Based on the Miller formula (1983), your ideal weight is 126.1 lbs
    Based on the Devine formula (1974), your ideal weight is 115.5 lbs
    Based on the Hamwi formula (1964), your ideal weight is 114.9 lbs
    Based on the healthy BMI recommendation, your recommended weight is 104.4 lbs - 141.1 lbs

    mmmm.....interesting....in March 2013, I was 120lb and because I'm a pear shape, my bottom half looked fine, but the top half (where I've always been smaller) looked way too thin....people were starting to get worried about me....I'm currently 136.5lb and I would love to get back down to 125lb at least....I think the Miller formula is probably the most realistic for me....114/115lb would be way too thin....

    I would set your goal to get into a healthy BMI range so 24.9 and then re-assess depending on how you feel and look then...

    When I calculated mine, most of them recommended I be 135 and BMI 118-157 (Same as earlnabby). I am currently 135 and feel happy with my body. I have been 125 and it was not healthy and looked underweight. I hope this helps.

    oh heck no...

    Based on the Robinson formula (1983), your ideal weight is 138.0 lbs
    Based on the Miller formula (1983), your ideal weight is 141.1 lbs
    Based on the Devine formula (1974), your ideal weight is 140.9 lbs
    Based on the Hamwi formula (1964), your ideal weight is 139.1 lbs
    Based on the healthy BMI recommendation, your recommended weight is 121.7 lbs - 164.4 lbs

    I am 5'8" - 42 years old... I would look sickly at 138... my first goal is 190 (102 lbs down from my starting weight) but I am thinking my final goal will be around 165-170 Which is a little over the BMI but my loves do like a little meat on me and i think they would be unhappy if i looked that thin... I haven't weighed 140 since i was like 12 years old!

    Based on the Robinson formula (1983), your ideal weight is 123.0 lbs
    Based on the Miller formula (1983), your ideal weight is 129.1 lbs
    Based on the Devine formula (1974), your ideal weight is 120.6 lbs
    Based on the Hamwi formula (1964), your ideal weight is 119.7 lbs
    Based on the healthy BMI recommendation, your recommended weight is 107.8 lbs - 145.6 lbs

    This sounds about right for me (5'4, female, 24 yrs old). I'm aiming to get down to somewhere around 112lbs since that's where I've been before and I was happier there, but I'm currently 125lbs and reasonably happy with how I look. Happy enough at least that I'm taking my diet so lightly that I've lost 3lbs in 6 months lol.

    Yikes! The last time I was 125 lbs, I was graduating from high school and wearing a size 2. I'm much older and I had a kid. That is not even close to a goal I want to pursue unless I'm planning to compete in a fitness competition. My ultimate goal after having the rest of my children (hoping for one more) is 140 -145 lbs. That's a good "fighting weight" for me while training for distance races.

    I remember weighing under 130 lbs in my 20s... I was so skinny. I'd rather not go under 140, I like finally having a round booty.

    This is mine:

    Based on the Robinson formula (1983), your ideal weight is 113.6 lbs
    Based on the Miller formula (1983), your ideal weight is 121.6 lbs
    Based on the Devine formula (1974), your ideal weight is 107.9 lbs

    Based on the healthy BMI recommendation, your recommended weight is 99.5 lbs - 134.5 lbs

    I'm shooting for 118-120. 108? I'm medium framed even though I'm short. I don't think that would look all that good on me.

    I am 49, 5'4" and weigh 130. I got down to 126 but did not feel I looked good and seemed unsustainable. As is, I am a size 2. Most of these numbers seem too low.

    Yeah... No.

    At 110 - 115 I'd look gaunt and bony. Not in a million years. I want to be 140. I don't care if I'm slightly over the healthy BMI. I'd rather be where I'm comfortable than have a tiny weight to try and maintain for forever.

    Aimeerace, we must be the same height. I got the same exact weights you did. I have a super small frame, however, and I'm not too curvy, so I look best at the lower end of the range. I currently weigh 108-ish, and I don't look too thin. I just need more muscle.

    Oh man - that is depressing. I might cry. Based on that I'm just going to be a fatty forever. I don't think I could ever get that low. My goal weight is 150. :(

    I weigh less than all of these and am still not where I want to be. Going for 118 - 120 with low body fat. Been there and liked how I looked and was at my best performance wise.

    Somewhere, I have a picture of myself when I weighed 190lbs. I have no desire to be that scrawny again. My goal is 208. I may drop a few more pounds before my weight stabilizes, but I'm thinking not below 205.

    I'm at 140lbs currently; shooting for 130lbs at first, and something between 125lbs and 130lbs would be my dream eventually, I guess.

    For me the calculators are always off because I have a higher lean body mass than average. So if I go by just height and weight and age, I get depressed really fast. The lowest I've ever been as an adult is still technically above the calculators. But I'm super strong and can do whatever I want physically, and I'm confident that I'm at a great weight for me.

    I also had a trainer helping me measure lbm with better tools than just a scale. So take those calculators with a grain of salt.

    Yeah, not going to happen without some sort of outside intervention. I'm barely losing as it is without sleeping all day to not eat. No way in hells can I get on the "normal" BMI weight range. 155# is a pipe dream at this point.
