    Very much like you. I'm 43, 5'2" and only a couple pounds from goal. I kept my goal a little higher to make it easier to maintain. However the closer I get, I may lower that a couple pounds at a time until I feel comfortable with it. I just want to lose the last of the belly fat and then tone and strengthen.

    I'm 5'0" nearly 5'1". My goal weight is between 120-125. I took a "What's your happy weight?" quiz the other day and it said my "happy weight" was 114. I haven't always been as heavy as I am now, but I've been heavier than that for so long (usually in the 140-160 range that I think 120ish would make me plenty happy, pretty elated actually. We'll see when it gets closer, maybe I'll change my mind.

    If I was 5'1", I'd want to be taller. Heck...I'm 6'2" and I wish I was taller. (Dreams of being 6'4")

    Oh, I see now. You wanted to hear from other ladies. Fine. Be exclusionary. Phhbbtt.

    I'm 5'2", 21 years old and my goal weight is 120. I picked it because it's right in the middle of the healthy BMI range. I have no idea what I'll look like because I've never been there before. My goals my change when the time comes.

    Hi, I'm 40 and 5ft 1 1/4 inches. My before kids weight was around 105-110 and I topped out at 135 last year. My goal was 125 as I like the curves I've gained but now that I'm at 128.5, I am aiming for 120 or so.

    I'm 5 foot , and through dieting, I once weighed 122.5. So my first goal is 130, my second is 120, my third is 115. I want to break my set point of what seems to be 125. It might take a while. But I can get there. I got to 144 last year, but gained some of it back, when my step dad, then my dog got sick,and I had trips to the VA, and trips to the vet, and lot's of eating out. I forgot about me...then, I signed up for a cake decorating class...
    I'm still in the cake decorating class, no one is too sick, and i've stopped eating everything I bake. I believe this is my year to get back down to a size 7.

    I come from good working stock - built for labor (of both kinds).

    At 5'1", I'd love to be in the 120-125 range, which puts me in about a size 2. That being said, I've been relatively happy at about 130, which is about a 6, so won't stress too much if that's as far as I get. :wink:

    I'm 5'0", and my starting weight was 155. My original goal was 125, but I recently changed it to 120, because I'd really like to fit into a size 6. At this point, I've only lost 10 lbs, so maybe I'll actually be sick of dieting by the time I get to 125. After 2 C-sections, I'm pretty sure my tummy will never be quite what it was pre-kids, but some things you just have to accept. : )

    I'm about 5'2" and my goal right now is 120lbs. It'll be about 35 pounds from where I started, and it'll be approximately the weight I was before: my mom died (and I ate and ate), puberty (and that was awesome...) and then feet issues...I don't know what I will look like because of my girly curves that I've gotten since the last time I reached it, but I'm excited to try for it!! I'm sick and tired of being the chubby friend.

    I am 4' 11 3/4" and 23 years old. I have gotten to 108 and still was not happy enough with my weight. When I decided I had got to my max and needed to lose I was at 120ish, I am currently at 116 and definitely have some ways to go. So my goal is between 100-105 lbs. I am shooting for 105 right now and when I get there I will see if I am in the shape I want to be or if I need to workout further. I am more focused on toning rather than weight loss in general though, but I would like to get to about 15% body fat. I took the self happy weight quiz and it said 105 as well.

    I am 25 years old and five foot one, and the weight I felt most comfortable at was about 106-110 lbs. . .somehow I skyrocketed way higher during college, came down a bit around the time of my wedding, and fell into old habits after my honeymoon. I hit about 210 this year, and decided that was the final straw! I've been on My Fitness Pal for about 3 weeks and have lost almost 6 pounds so far. . .I have a lot of mini goals set up, but I would love to eventually be back to the low 100's!

    I'm 5'2 with a medium frame and my current goal for a "happy" weight is 120-125. My "ideal" weight would be 115-118. I couldn't imagine myself being smaller than that. I don't have a small frame, so less than 115 seems very unrealistic to me (although I wouldn't complain if I got there :wink:).

    I'm 5'3 and would like to be at 120. The closest I came to was 123 last fall but gained it all back and more. So, that is my goal!

    I'm 5'1 and I started here at 135. Currently I am at 130.

    My 'real' goal is to be at a healthy weight according to the BMI and to lead a more healthy and active life. I set my goal weight for 125 pounds, but have always said I would be happy to be under 130.

    I've always been on the curvier side - stereotypically hourglassy - and I don't think that a weight any lower than 120 would suit me very well. Choosing a goal weight depends on body-type, I guess.

    But I know that a lot of people have changed their goal after it got close, so we'll see!! What I'd really like to do is become more active and make sure I get the correct amount of nutrients in my diet.

    Probably around 125; I am muscular so 125 is pretty thin for me!

    I'm 5'2". My stated goal is 120, but I may revise that. I am more interested in losing a couple of layers of fat than the scale number.

    I'm 5'2 and currently weighing in at 202 lbs, I've already lost 19 lbs being on here since the beginning of May. I have never been a tiny person, so although I have hopes of being around 120, I think I will know when I'm done and at a good place for my body to be. Definitely planning to be between 120-140. Time will tell!
