    I think the real question here is what are you looking for. Frame wise? When I was 118 lbs I was a size 0 and little to no muscle. I'm Almost 5ft3 138 size 4 jeans but I powerlift so I have a lot of muscle. I know the more muscle I put on that scale will rise. All depends on what you want to go for.

    This is something I identified in my goal. I'm 5'4" and shooting for 120-125, but ultimately, I'm working to get a sub-30" waist with tone...not ripped. I can't say exactly what waist size because the last time I was skinny (not toned) was before my kids, and my hips stayed out after their deliveries. Therefore, sub-30 and toned.

    My goal has always been to just get to a healthy BMI. However, I am ~17 lbs from that goal now and I think that 115 lbs could easily be realistic. I'm 5'1.

    I'm 5'1" and my goal was 125. I got down to 121..but am currently sitting at 125...and I am happy with that. My build though would never look good below 120. So I try not to focus on the number and more how I look and feel.

    I'm glad someone else can relate :)

    5'0" Started a little under 140 and am currently stabilized at 110-115. I'm hoping to get up to 115-120, increasing muscle mass. I feel like I've hit a bit of a plateau in that with just my rock climbing, so I'm trying to motivate myself to do more dedicated muscle work. It just so hard because I don't like lifting! I've been trying to make time at the gym for more work in the hang boards and such for pure strength training or incorporating silly climbing games that are designed for strength building and I've seem some improvement with that. It's just so much slower than my weight loss progress was that I sometimes get really disheartened!

    5'2" Goal is 135, Currently at 180. I think it depends on how much muscle you want, and how active you want to stay once you get to your goal. I would like to stay relatively active once I reach my goal with lean muscle, so I'm shooting for 135lbs.

    I'm 5'2 and in maintenance currently with a range of 117-122. I started on MFP at 153 with a goal of 125 but once I got there I decided to go a bit lower.
    Mentioning that since I saw a few people say they wanted to reassess goal after they reached it.
