    It definitely depends on your build. I am 5'3" and 43 years old with a small, but muscular frame. Even after 4 years of heavy lifting I still look my best around 115 or so.

    5'3" and bouncing between 145 and 149. Trying to get to 125. I looked good at 138, but thanks to medicine side effects I had a massive one week gain and my stomach bloated up. Still trying though.

    This is me too. I got to 128 for the sole purpose of gaining weight back, with muscle. When I was 128 I thought I was still fat, but looking back at photos I was NOT. I had lost my butt and shape, and XS shirts were hanging off of me. My chest got so tiny and bony I remember bawling at the bra store because no bra would fit.

    I'm 5' 2.5", I'm aiming for 105-115, I'm 128.5 right now, SW-151, if I were to not lose anymore right now I'd be ok with that. I'm all hips, butt and thighs. I guess I'll stop when I feel just right.

    I'm just under 5'4 and aiming for 140 as my preliminary goal. I suspect my ideal weight is probably somewhere in the ballpark of 130ish, but I was very happy at 140 last time I weighed that.

    5'3 and currently about 116 pounds (age 23). My goal is to stay between 110-116 as my body is quite sensitive to weight gain. At 135-140 I had already begun developing problems with my feet and knees from carrying excess weight, my resting blood pressure increased, I would get heart palpitations, random infections, and just overall inability to properly move around. My friend on the other hand (same height) can rock 135-140, looking thinner than me and maintaining excellent health. Find at what weight you feel best, every person is different.

    I like to be around 135-125. Much less than that I start to look like a kid.

    Hi, I'm 5'2.5" with a medium frame and maintaining at 129-130ish for the last 2+ years. I'd like to get a bit lower but I'm happy where I am also. I'm turning 68 years old in a few months and right now staying active and healthy is my main goal. I started at 179 and dropped close to 50 pounds over a 15 month period. I did lose a bit of additional weight after I hit the top end of a healthy BMI to bring it down further. I seem to be right in the middle of a healthy range. Make your goal what you feel comfortable with based on you build/BMI, etc.

    I'm 5'2.5" and maintaining around 125. Every once in a while I get the urge to get down to 120 but I just never can stick with it. I'm good with 125 though.

    My recomendation, use a standard as a goal, then ask around.

    My case, 171 cm tall, I use the rule and aimed for 71 Kgs. Original weight 99 Kgs.

    Starting at 75 I started to receive messages that I was more or less in the right shape. I kept going down to 73, and more and more people suggested I should stop. "More people" included my wife, all trainers and support team in my gym adn two nutitionists.

    So I never reached the 71, but I am very happy not to.

    In your case, suggest to aim at 133, and ask around when you reach 139.
