I'm 5'4 - medium frame - wondering what others with a similar build have as their weight goal. I'm thinking 135 - 140. I know I could go lower (was 120 at one point) but I want it to be realistic and maintainable. Thanks!

    I'm 5'4 and probably more large frame. My dream goal is 130, but I'll be happy with anywhere between 140 to 150.

    I am 5'4 and my goal weight is 125-130. I also could go lower but I am taking baby steps. I figure I will get to that goal and see how I look and feel.

    My goal is 110-120, so probably around 115. I have a small-ish frame.

    I'm 5'5" and currently at 148. I'm not happy. I liked and felt the best around 135ish.
  • I am 5'4" - 5'5" I would love to be 150.

    I'm 5'5" and medium frame and initially shot for 140 (started at 164). Hit 140 and kept losing and I'm hovering around 131 now. I'd love to see the 120s again, but I'm not sure I could easily maintain that. I'm happy where I am.

    I'm 5'4 I would like to be somewhere between 130 and 140. I could probably go lower than that but I want to be realistic and be able to maintain once I get there.

    I'm 5' 4 3/4" and my goal weight was 135. When I got to that weight I still looked a little pudgy so I revised my goal weight to 128. I've lost 3 more pounds since then and think that 125 is ideal for me. I have a small frame.

    I am 5'4" and I am comfortable at around 132. Due to lack of appetite due to stress I did hit 128 in the past year, but when I did, several family members voiced their concerns and said I was too thin. I am happiest around 132, I am comfortable in my own body at that weight and I don't feel like I am having to deprive myself.

    I have to watch it very closely, though because in a few short weeks of eating out and eating at big family gatherings, I jumped up to 138. You'd never think those 5-6 pounds would be so hard to get offbut they are this time!!!

    I am nearly 5ft 4 and a medium frame.

    I am currently at 124- I can definitely get away with losing a couple more but not under 120.
  • hello! i'm 5'4.5'' so 5'5'' i guess. i'm a more leaner build frame (not top or bottom heavy lol) i'm aiming for 116 but being realistic i'll probley end up at 120-125. i'm currently about 140.

    I'm 5'3.5 and have maintained between 115 and 120lb for over a year now. I'm medium build and have a fair amount of muscle thanks to weight training. I was aiming for higher goal initially but then revised it downwards and it has been very maintainable for me.
    I would aim for what you've said and you can always revise and re-evaluate as you go along. It doesn't have to happen all in one go, you could maintain at 135 and see how you feel, I found that my weight redistributed to some extent after I stopped losing and started maintaining. You can always chose to lose a little more and as you say this has to be realistic and achievable.

    Good luck :smile:

    I'm 5'4.5 and started at 140, probably a slight to medium frame. Ideally I'd like to get down to 125/130.

    I have a medium frame as well. Originally my goal was 135. I'm here, and well, I could do better. After talking with a few people, I changed my goal to 128.
  • 5 ft 4 and 122 now. My goal is about 110-115

    I'm 5 5 and wanna be 110, though I'll probably happy anywhere between 110-130
  • 5'4" trying for between 110 & 120 so I'm at the bottom end of the spectrum. Got quite a small frame though.

    I'm 5'4" and 149lbs, small frame, goal is 125lbs, but would love to be 120 again!
  • I'm 5'3" and my right now my goal is 130-135 but depending going on from there I may try to shoot for 125..just depends how it looks. I am medium-framed and have been 120 and under before and it did not look right on me...my family thought I had an eating disorder ( I didn't!) Anyway I am 170 right now so lots of work to do..good luck to you :happy:

    I'm 5'4" with a medium frame. Doc says I should be 130-140. I'm also 43 years old. I will be happy at 150. I love my curves at that size. We will see when I get there. I've got 55 lbs to go.

    I'm 5'4, I think medium build - my starting goal in Feb 2011 was 140lbs. I really thought that I would never make that. I made it without faltering. I have now set my goal at 126lbs as this is what I have been happy at in the past. I have reached the dreaded plateau :smile: and spent the last week attempting to break it. (watch this space!) If I make it to 133 I'll be happy. That said, I actually feel fit and healthy at this weight but 126 is kind of around the middle of my BMI and that seems pretty safe to me. Good luck to everyone in setting your goals whatever they are!! I would be interested to find out how people manage their maintenance after they reach their goals? I'm looking forward to this, aren't you all? :happy:
  • I'm almost 5''3, currently weigh 130lbs and would like to be 115lbs :)

    I'm 5'4" and my goal is 120. I'm at 130 right now, still loosing inches, but maintaining weight, so I may not ever actually lose those last 10 lbs..
