    :happy: As I started out at 267 lbs:sad: ...my doctor set my goal at 150. Weight Watchers set my goal at 146 so that's not too far off (for someone who had been morbidly obese for a L-O-N-G time...) I continued with my healthy lifestyle changes and continued to lose on down (with a doctor monitoring) until I got to my low of about 130. The doctor didn't want me going below 135. At my healthiest (in high school) I weighed 135 so that's a great number for me. I've maintained that weight now for over 5 years within a 7 lb. range of 130. Currently (this morning) I weigh 132.4. I wanted to get on down to 128 but honestly that number would be harder and require more strenuous effort to maintain and would be detrimental in the end. I'm right in the middle of a healthy BMI now so I'm not messing with things. I like the weight I'm at and it's easy enough to hold it there so I'm good. I have pictures on here I think.

    I realize there are those who are more comfortable at a lower weight and I'm all for being comfortable as long as it's healthy and not unrealistic. :smile:

    i am 5`3 and the last time i weighed myself i was 104 pounds....for any of you ladies wanting to be that weight or under it is VERY uncomfortable!! i am looking to be about a healthy 115-125 pounds, at the minimum.

    I can understand that. When I was 118 I was very skinny, I didn't like the way I looked in pictures and had multiple people ask me if I was anorexic or on drugs. Not fun! But everyone is different and everyone carries weight differently. I met a girl who I thought weighed about the same as me only to find out she weighed about 25 lbs more. Not fair! Haha. But good luck obtaining your goals!

    I am 5'4" I originally hit about 180lbs and now am currently down to 138lbs. My original goal was to get to 135 but since I have been loosing some of my shape my new goal is to stay where Im at and do weight lifting to build muscle and loose fat so I can shape my curves back. A girl cant live without her curves ya know what Im sayin LOL!!

    Haha! I know what you mean! My boyfriend tries to tell me I shouldn't lose weight because he's afraid I'm going to lose my boobs and booty (not that my booty is much to write home about as it is.) But I definitely want to do some shaping so I don't lose my curves!

    5'4" and hoping to get to and stay around 135 pounds. Lost to 140 last year but the diet got away from me and I blossomed up to 162. Back on track now but have quite a ways to go. This morning was at 156 with my first goal to be 150 by September 15.

    I don't have any photos though maybe I should take a few. Might be a good idea. This site has been good for me and always looking for the support from others.....it help tremendously!

    By the way, many of you look absolutely fantastic!

    Yep, I started at 157 or so, I'm hovering happily around 125 with lots of muscle density! I don't hate the process of posting pictures, but you can see some under my profile.

    I'm 5'4 as well. My highest weight I ever saw was 167.. I'm now down to 154.

    My lowest weight was around 115lbs, and I think I look healthiest around 120-125 so that's my ultimate goal :)

    I'm 5'4"... I started out at 164 (Monday of last week) and I'm currently 157. My goal weight is anywhere between 127 and 132. My 30th birthday is on September 10th and my best friend is throwing me a party. I'm hoping to atleast be back in the 140's by then!

    Good luck on your journey! Feel free to message me!

    I'm 5'4" and have gone from around 137 lbs to around 120 lbs (my scale is a few pounds off so I guesstimate). I think the 118 - 122 range is good for me. Right now I'm working on firming everything up, as I still have the post-baby belly. Unfortunately I don't have a current pic that shows my shape.

    I'm 5'4.5'' at my heaviest I weighed in at 280lb, I am aiming for the top end of our healthy weight range about 145lb. I am currently at 163lb. I have always been big so would be happy at 145 as have never been that small.

    I'm 5'4 as well. I've been as low as 119 but it looked sick on me. with my bone structure I carry 122-128 really well. I can go up to 135 and still look good....just softer and more curvy :) Good luck reaching your goals!

    Yay shortys!

    I'm 5'4 .... i started out at 222 (highest for me ever!) i just felt like crap and needed a change. I've gone on and off the exercise bandwagon (currently off but after my move at the end of the month i'll be back on, thanks to a weight loss challenge) but have been keeping my calories in check (for the most part, damn you fun weekends! haha) so currently i am at 201, 21lbs down!!

    My overall goal at this moment is to get down to 160. Once i'm there i'll see if i'm happy or if i feel like i could stand to lose a little more.

    First mini goal is 199 ... so close i can taste it!!

    You look great by the way!! Major motivation for me!!

    Right, I'm 5'3" and 152-4 ish (high of 164), and my realistic goal is 135. I know I can't get down much below that and keep it off anymore. ...but I'd rather drop from a size 16 to as size 12!!

    I just started logging this week, it is a pretty big eye opener to all those little miscellaneous tidbits that "fall" into my mouth. I've adjusted the food calculators (bringing the carbs down to about 45%, and also tracking Sugars - trying to keep that below 10)

    Good luck -

    I'm 5' 4" and currently at 249 lbs. It is rather large for my height, but I started at 315! My goal is 139, but I may change it when I get there. I like seeing that 139 is a reasonable weight for a person who is 5'4"!

    Thanks ladies!

    I'm 5'4" and I've gone from 280 to 185. I will be 140 someday soon and then I'll see from there - I've never been below 145 as an adult so we'll see...

    I'm 5'4" and my heaviest weight that I actually acknowledged was 240 but I know I was heavier than that at some point but wouldn't weight. I'm 17 lbs from GOAL of 135. I weighed in this morning at 152. Down 86 lbs. I will do this. My most current pic is in my signature where I weighed 157.
    That was a few weeks ago. I can't wait to take a goal shot. I have never weighed 135 as an adult and I think it will be the perfect weight for me because I have a lot of muscle and am large boned.

    Good luck everyone.

    I am 5' 3.5". I started off at 5'2.5" at 140 pounds. Since this time last year I have 30 pounds and grown in inch. I am now 110,but wouldn't mind gaining back a couple pounds of muscle,because I definitely still have some toning to do!

    Another 5'4" gal here. I am 132 right now. My happy weight has always been right around 120. It just seems to get harder and harder to get it back off. So, I am shooting for 10% or around 13 lbs. Wishing you all luck I see a lot of you have really done some amazing work already, you are very inspirational.

    I am 5'4 as well. Heaviest weight was 224, started MPF at 218.8 and currently 199.6. My goal weight is 140. I cannot even remember what I look like at that weight. I am pretty top heavy (DD's even when I was 140/150) and I have an athletic build (really it's there under all this jiggle :D). I guess we will see when I get there if I want to go lower :)

    I'm 5'4" and my original goal was 135 lbs but now I'm down to 128 lbs and have switched to maintenance mode. I've promised myself that no matter what I will not get back over 130 lbs! I'd like to lose a couple more lbs but I'm definitely happy with how I look now. Here are some before and after pics (first pic is pre-MFP around 180 lbs and second is 1 year later around 130 lbs):
