    No more than 5 - 10 lbs.

    I am 5'0" and at my best was 118 with a medium frame and muscular build.

    In fact, your current weight might be fine. Look at your body fat %. Try to get that to around 20%. If it includes trimming off a few more pounds, that's fine. If it involves simply replacing fat with the same mass of muscle, 132 would be a fine weight for your size.

    It all depends on where you are comfortable, but if I were your height, I'd probably wanna be around 115.

    It really depends on your body. When I was at my lowest weight of my adult life, I was 133 and super skinny (I'm also 5'3"). Size 4 jeans, small tops, and if I'd gotten any thinner, I'd have been accused of being anorexic or bulimic. I build muscle quite well, too, so that is part of it.

    a healthy weight for your height and frame is around 121-135 pounds according to most height/weight charts that I have seen. So, depending on what your overall goals are, I would recommend focusing on strength training and body composition and trying to trim down by replacing fat with muscle (if that is your goal!) to where you feel comfortable and strong! good luck!

    It really depends on if you're happy or not with how you currently look. I'd say no less then your goal of 120, but see how you feel at 125 if you aren't happy now.

    GL!

    I think it will be up to YOU. I'm 5'4" and I am 143-145lbs. I'm happy, comfortable and content at this weight. I don't want to lose anymore weight - just work on strength training and such.

    I was very thin in high school - around 100lbs and I was too dang skinny. I see pics of me now and I am grossed out by how thin I was.

    Go with what makes YOU happy.

    I'm 5'2" and the same exact weight. I'm shooting for 125. How much fat can you pinch from your belly and sides?
