    5'4", shooting for 125, but will be happy once my waist is back to sub-30" and I can get a 32" bra on again.

    I'm 5'3" and my goal is 125-130. I currently weigh 160. I might want to go higher or lower depending on where I lose the weight. I have pretty sizable T&A, so if those go away, I'll aim for lower.

    5 ft and my goal at this point is 140. I will probably lose more but wanted to give myself something to shoot for because I started at 190.

    I'm 5 3 and currently 175lbs. I lost 60lbs and was healthy and happy at 140lbs. I got pregnant and had my son dec 2015. Then a 14 months of breastfeeding. I was 180lbs and hoping to get back to 140lbs. I know the difference of 20lbs and from 140 to 120 I'd feel horible. 140lbs is my personal desired weight. If i could get to 140 and maybe lose more fat and gain muscle that'd be awesome but I want to stay at 140

    I'm 36 yrs old, 5'2 110lbs ..I don't necessarily want to lose weight but I have suffered from anorexia for over 10 yrs and lost most of my muscle so my goal is to shift what weight I do have to mostly lean muscle instead of fat. I'm usually around 92-100 lbs but I realized I was underweight and not getting enough nutrients so I increased my eating at first without increasing my exercise and I simply gained fat..not liking how I look..I used to be a figure skater and was in great shape before anorexia(at my worst I was 60lbs) and now I am just "skinny fat" so yeah, my goal is to get back to being "fit" and healthy. I eat Organic foods when I can afford them(wish I could replace everything) but it's just so expensive. I have started walking an hr a day and doing various exercise videos. Anyway, any tips on gaining muscle/recovering your body would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm 5'2" and my biggest was 185. I've been hovering around 150 for 5 years and I started trying to get down to 115 to 125 back in November. I'm down to 128.6 but I've been working out to tone as I lose so now I'm just kind of seeing where I will end up. I still have some fat that needs gone! ☺

    I'm 5' 2 and a half. I'm currently at 139. I lift heavy weights, but I'm trying to get down to 128lbs. I was 118, but I looked to fragile. Just turned 34 this year, so my metabolism isn't liking me much this time around :/

    5'2 and between 150-145ish.. But honestly I honestly won't know until I get at that weight because I don't wanna be to skinny lol.

    I'm 5' 0", currently at around 185ish (haven't weighed myself in a while) and my goal is around 135 which is a size 8 for me. I realize that's still considered overweight for my height, but I'm very top heavy (size DD chest) and it doesn't go away with weight loss, so when I get smaller than 135, I look VERY out of proportion.

    I did several goals along the way because I started at over 200 lbs, which is rather obese since I'm 4'11.5". The technical "healthy weight range" based on my height is a max of 125 but having weighed as much as 229, it was hard to imagine ever getting down the far, so I preferred incremental goals.

    Now I've been in the 130's for over half a year, took a break from counting calories and ate maintenance instead as it's good to give the body a break from the deficit. My current goal is to maybe get to 120 and would then consider a bulk but not decided yet. I don't have a final exact numbers as I prefer more of a range. Maybe 120-130, or might end up with final goals in the 130's instead as I didn't mind competing in the 132 weight class at the powerlifting meet. Will have to wait and see how things work out.

    I'm 5' 4" and my goal is anywhere between 115 - 130 Lbs. Wherever I am happy, I will stop. I was 120 before and I thought that was a good place but I added in a 5 Lb fluctuation to get to the 115 Lbs. I started at 378 Lbs and have lost 182 so I have about 81 Lbs to go.

    5'2". Currently 165 started at 175. 1st goal is to be 140-145 by June and 2nd goal is be between 130-135 by September and final goal is weight training before the holiday season. I have never really been in the 130's. Even in high school my lowest was 140's. So this is a major goal going that low.

    I am 5'4"and I am aiming for my last known skinny weight of 125. I am lifting weights now though, so if I get to 135/140 and feel happy with how I look, I'll stop there.

    My stats are here. My goal is to stay under 125lbs at morning weigh-in, along with gaining some strength and endurance for longer backpacking trips.

    I'm 5'1" about 120 now, was thinking of a goal of 116.
    But starting to wonder if I should be more focused on re-comping/BF% instead (mine is probably in the high 20's, would like it to be in the low 20's)
