    sorry to sound like your mom, but i think some of you are shooting for too thin. the best indicator is usually go look at the BMI tables and figure out what would be the middle of the healthy range for your height. or don't lose weight but try and tone up and gain muscle. i used to have problems with being too low a weight and it put me at risk for all kinds of health issues and i felt horrible. at my lowest i was around 110 lb for 5'5" and i think that's too thin. hollywood weights are not realistic weights. for me, my goal is 130 and i am about 5'5". I'm not sure what size that is but i used to wear an 8 and would like to get back to that level. I wear a 10 now and I'm not ok with that. I have 16 lb to go.

    That's really hard to judge without knowing how someone is built.

    Oh I absolutely agree that it depends on how you're built. That's why looking at the tables for weight can be really helpful. The lower weights are for small frame, middle for medium frame, larger for large frame. Plus, a lot of us are doing a lot of muscle building activities that could put us at a healthy range but above goal weight. Weight is one number in the equation, there are so many others, like how you feel, your clothes size, etc. I just wouldn't want anyone to have a really high expectation that wasn't realistic is all... I wish everyone the best!

    I am 5' 5" and am shooting for 150 - currently 168.

    I dropped down to 127 yrs ago by working my butt off 5 days a week for 2 yrs and then changed jobs. It was hard to maintain once my hours changed. I had my son 5 yrs ago. I was lucky and only gained 22 lbs when pregnant. It was kinda crazy - I actually CRAVED exercise and healthy foods the entire time ! It was honestly the Best I have ever felt in my life!! It was being sleep deprived for what seemed like a year afterwards that really messed me up !

    Anyways, I think being 42 yrs old, 150 will be more maintainable for me ....

    WE CAN DO IT !!!

    I'm 5'2 to 5'3 and want to get down to 129 to start. I was 141 back in 2007 and thought my arms were too skinny.
    Healthy BMI for me is 104-141 so we will see what happens when I get closer.I'm 155 now.

    That sounds dangerous darling... They are not advertised as much, but the health problem that go with being underweight can be pretty severe...

    You can't make up for the 68% of the populations that's overweight, by starving yourself... It may be time to get a doctor's advice.

    I am 5'8" and my goal weight is 140. I am 27 years old. Was there a few years ago and I felt healthy and looked pretty good at that weight. Can hardly wait to see how I feel this time since I am in better physical shape this time in my opinion.
