5'1 and somewhere around 101-102-103 (???? haven't weighed myself in a long time because of stress issues, i'm on maintenance anyway. i haven't noticed much of a change in the mirror so i'm not worrying though.) I'm pretty damn muscular everywhere (the only thing i don't have is a 6 pack of particularly defined abs, but the rest is smokin hot), so it might not look the same as another 102 lbs girl my height.
Goal would be 100 i guess, but i couldn't know, never been there. And plus i like to eat lots ever since i got on maintenance so i don't wanna eat a large deficit all the time anymore...so *IF* it comes off it will be by exercice and more exercice or something, but i'm not stressing over it. Plus, being at lower than 100 is very high maintenance since your daily calorie needs will always be suuuper low even with an active lifestyle. it's already hard for me being strict with my calories, eating only 1700 occasionally 1800 (apparently i need 2000 but im way scared to go up that much), so i can't imagine lower tha that haha!

I'm 5'3 and maintain between 97-99 eating between 1600-2000 calories on most days, I would not consider that to be super low calorie. /shrug

I am 5'1" and 112 lbs. I am 54 yrs old and have no desire to be smaller. I think I would look frail and ill. I am large chested and I think with less weight I would look like I would fall forward. My measurements currently are 36/26.5/35.

Wow you look amazing for 54

5' 1/2" and 108.8 pounds, but want to get to 105 because of some minor body fat. I'm pretty musclar, though, so the recomp may take a while. My waist is 24".

woah I always thought it would be a lot stricter than that...how active are you though? I mean, your range is what *I* can have to maintain and at 1800 it's still pretty damn on the edge i think (i feel bloated the next day), so i can't imagine if i was at a lower weight and eating more, pretty sure I'd gain...but i guess i can't assume anything before i've tried. it's just scary to take risks n stuff.

I run 2-3 miles at the gym on days I don't work and try to lift weights for about 30-45 minutes. On days I work sometimes I'll go to the gym, but I work nights on an ICU so it's hit or miss whether I go. My job is very active lots of walking and lifting. Sometimes I do yoga or something similar.

I'm 107-108 and feel pretty good here. I saw 104,9 one time but I wasnt able to maintain it... my body had enough of dieting, so this is where I'm at lol

I'm 5'1 and around 104-110. 21-24% bf (different methods/calculators have given me different results so I'm not too sure.)
I eat 1400 to lose and 1600-1700 to maintain.

I'm 5'0 104lbs. I wear size 1-3 in pants and extra small shirts, not sure of measurements. Currently maintaining between 100-105 on 1400 calories which i've been told by my PD and Dietitian is my "set point." I'd like to get back to 95lbs. I've done it before and maintained it for a few years but it takes a lot of effort and I wasn't doing it in a healthy way.

5'1" and currently 112. I am pretty happy at this weight. I'm about 20-21% bodyfat and my measurements are 33-25.5-33. I mountain bike, run, and do TRX and kettlebells so I have a good amount of muscle mass. I might try to lose 4-5 more lbs. just to see if I can get rid of that pesky bit of jiggle on my upper thighs, but overall I'm pretty happy with my current look.

You and I are measurement buddies

5ft 2" / 133lbs/ 26.5 waist/35.5" hip / UK size 10 - Been happy this weight and have maintained it for over 2 years but want to get to 130 for a little leeway for holidays and weekends away.

And since we're apparently sharing our tata sizes I'm a 28D (which has 30C, 32B, 34A as sister sizes because there isn't a set "D" cup to anyone who didn't know). I'm an hourglass (or straight as a stick, depending on which site you use). My "ideal weight" is 103-113 but that's too heavy for me. I once was up to around 103 and I got dem chipmunk cheeks.

I'm 5'2". When I was in my 20's my weight was usually between 98 and 103. I lifted weights and I looked awesome IMO. My body fat percentage was 18 to 19%. That was my optimum. It's helluva lot easier to keep in shape when you're young, your metabolism is high, and you don't have a family that needs your time.

I've gone up and down since then but even at my max weight (130) I've never been technically overweight via BMI and I've never really looked *fat*-- (A lot of the weight went to my boobs (lol).) There seems to be a wide range of weights at which I look OK.

Regardless, my body fat % is too high and I want to get it down below 25%.

Concentrate on body fat %, not pounds. As other people have pointed out, we are all built differently and carry our weight differently. Comparing your weight with that of others isn't necessarily relevant. I don't know if you weight train, but if you don't, try it. It may change your body composition enough so that you're happier with the way you look. Get yourself a body fat caliper and/or have them measure it at the gym (if you have gym).
