are you about 5'5'' what's your goal? any before/after?

I am surprised so many people have such low goal weights. I have a really small build but I know I would look very thin at 125 lbs, too thin for my liking, I think.

I'm 5'5" and currently at 150 # and a US size 10. Given that I started at about 180, a lot of people have noticed the difference and if I tell them that I would like to lose another 20, they tell me no. But that is more or less in the middle of the healthy BMI range and I'd like to be more than one doughnut away from diabetes.

Even in my mid 20's, I looked sick when I weighed less than 120. 125 is probably unrealistic for me at this point (almost 50 years old) and I don't want to have to maintain wardrobes at a lot of different weights.

Oddly, my 25 year old jeans that are a size 8 are smaller than the ones that I just bought (as a motivator) at size 6.

i am also 5'5". my goal weight is set for 125 BUT everyone carries their weight differently. you can see by peoples pictures here. at my heaviest i weighed 162 and im now at 139lbs. so these are somewhat older .

Wow, I was really surprised to see so many 125 goals and it got me thinking that perhaps I needed to have the same goal. My goal is to get to 140-150 and hover in that range. I think anything less than 140 will not look right on me personally. Maybe it just depends on your frame/build. I have a somewhat thick frame.

exactly! i know with my frame, i'm pretty solid, or "compact", as my mom's friend says. so even if i lose a little it's pretty noticeable. i think if you don't carry extra weight well then a lower goal weight might be what's needed. i personally think i'll carry 140-145 quite nicely without feeling too skinny.

I'm 5'4, I currently weigh around 125-130lbs. I've set my goal on MFP to lose 30lbs just to have something to aim for, but I really just want to burn fat and build some muscle. I don't really care about what happens to the number as long as I'm looking better.

Don't worry about what other people think. You have to be comfortable and able to maintain the weight. People use to tell me that I look anorexic and I said, "no, you have always known me fat". Remember it's all about you!!

I'm 5'3 and have set my goal at 145 right now. I don't think I was ever 125. I think I was 100 and then skipped to like 130, lol. I want to see how I look and feel at 145 because I haven't been that skinny in years. Afterwards, I think I'll try for maybe 130. It all depends on your body type.

Hi! I'm 5'5" and my goal is set to 120. I started out at 135 on mfp. I'm almost 38 and have had 2 kids. I'm at 121 now. It is totally do-able!! You go girl!

I'm 5'5" and weigh 153 (down from 185 when I joined). My original goal was 135, but my body has changed a great deal the last 15 pounds. I am a solid size 6, tight 4, right now. I don't know that I would like how I look if I were to lose another 18 pounds. I can see my abs, have solid thighs and my biceps are starting to show. I'm seriously considering changing my focus from weight loss to body transformation. I have a week of maintenance calories coming up (July 1), and will re-evaluate my goals after that.
