I'm 5 ft 3, 135lb and UK size 10-12. I feel much better about how I look now than when I was 20lbs heavier but I still have more to go. I feel like I now like how I look with clothes on and just want to work on clothes off But I don't really know at what weight I will be when that happens. At small heights every pound makes a difference so it's hard to estimate.0

I weighed 208 and now stay in 160s and that is fine. I am 64. Weight watchers wants me 145 so I think you have to figure out what is right for you. If I am 15 lbs more and can eat some I am ok
I agree. I'm 55. When I was in my late teens and early twenties I was around 115-120. I would have been horrified to weigh 150. Then in my thirties, I gained every year until I was around 268 pounds for many years. Now I am perfectly content to be 5'4 and 150 pounds.
I'm 53, 5'4 and weigh 178 down from 210lbs. But my weight is evenly distributed so it really doesn't appear I'm that heavy. But I like my size cause I'm curvy (small waist, big booty) so for me 145 is drastic I'd be a size 9/10 and I'm not interested. I've maintained the same weight working out and not over doing it with the eating. My doc wants me to lose more weight but I am comfortable where I'm at. But now I have my cholesterol and BP to monitor so perhaps some weight will come off with further diet changes...IDK but I'm good. My goal would be no lower than 170. I don't want to be thin. I'm a size 14 (US) and I really like it..0 -
As others have said, weight varies a lot based on body composition, so it may not be the ideal metric to focus on.
I'm a smidge taller, but for 5' 4" I'd say a UK size 10/US size 6 would be a pretty healthy size to target.
(I'm 36, 5' 5"ish, and have clothes in everything from a US 2 and US XS up to UK 14, because women's sizing is *kitten* crazy. But I currently average out at a UK 8-10, or US 4-6. I weigh about 61kg. I lift.)0 -
