    Wow isn't anyone short like me? Lol. I'm 5'3" and goal weight is at least 140, maybe 135.

    Your post actually made me smile. You wandered into a tall women's thread, but your goal like very sensible and I wish you the best!

    5'8". Goal weight is somewhere between 140-145, we'll see where it settles.

    I was 125 in college, although I've had struggles with food in the past and made it down to 109 once thanks to a diet of exclusively alcohol, phenphen and ramen... never again. Because of that, I'm cautious about setting super low goal weights, though. I know I have not only a tendency, but a phenomenal ability to starve myself.

    I think i look better with a little muscle on me, but that seems to necessitate me being over 140lbs. I had a body comp done last week and I'm 28% body fat at 148.8lbs, so I have 41.6 lbs of pure fat. I'm thinking if i can shave 5-7 of that (in pure fat) I'll get to about 24-25%, which I think is where I want to be.

    I'm really pleasantly surprised that there haven't been any women of our height aiming for the 120'-130's :+1:

    lol I am 136 cutting to 130 soooo ;) . Too small framed for the 140s

    I'm starting to wonder if i'm large framed, because anything under 143ish lbs invites the "are you on drugs" comments, i even had a friend ask my husband if i had cancer (after i'd lost 15lbs). Bare in mind I've only ever been slightly overweight and only over the last 4 or so years, never obese or anything, so it's not as if i had a dramatic weight loss. Plus, my husband has made me swear black and blue that i will not lose another ounce. I was at my goal weight for a nanosecond last year and he hated it, he said i looked sick and skinny.

    I think a lot of taller women are larger framed given that so many feel that way. I am definitely small framed, I definitely don't think I look sick at 136, you can tell there's about 5 I can afford to cut

    You look adorable! Definitely smaller framed than me, my shoulders and hips are slightly wider than yours, and my head is bigger lol I end up looking like those lollipop women. And honestly, i can't see where those 5lbs are going to come from, you look just right to me.


    You look so cute!! We're about the same size! I'm 5'9 140 and looking to get back to 125! You should add me <3

    5'8"

    I'm currently 144 with a goal of 138. I'm hoping to lose the last few pounds around my midsection.

    TWIN! 5'8" weighing 144 this morning, goal of 138.

    I got down to 141 a few months ago, but got super sick of calorie counting (weighing everything) and just decided to maintain for the summer and enjoy life. It's been 3 months of not calorie counting and I've been maintaining around the 143-145 range.) I'm still not confident in a bikini though and still have some belly fat that needs to peace out. I did wear shorts this summer for the first time in 2 years though!

    I am 5'8 and 174 lbs. My happy weight is 162-164 but after injury and little exercise the weight has crept up and I cannot get it off no matter what I do. I would love to be 150-155 but cant ever break the 160 mark no matter what I do....

    I'm 5'10 and currently 215 lbs. I'm feeling HUGE compared to your SW. I didn't realize I was soooo big. Ugh.

    I am just 5ft tall. Currently I'm 152. No idea what I should be? Medium frame. Can anyone advise me?

    I'm 5'10 and I'm currently 161 lbs. I'm wanting to get to 150 and see how I feel. I might go lower, but for now, that's what I'm working towards. I'm having a hard time staying motivated though.

    *hugs* we get nowhere when we negatively compare ourselves to others. If it makes you feel better, though, I started at 275.
