    5'3" and I want to weigh 115. I'm at 130 now, so at least 15 more pounds to go!

    Personally I think the BMI chart is BS. Between being in the military, having a large frame (according to the wrist-width-to-height ratio), and being 5'6, there's no way I can weigh between 115 and 154 pounds. I'm 177 now and I think I look great. I have the blood pressure readings of an athlete. I would be perfectly content in the 160s. If I get to where I'm "supposed" to be according to the BMI chart, peachy. :drinker:

    There are lots of discrepancies with the BMI chart but at present it is the only universally recognised system of quantifying obesity. Maybe try the ashwell shape chart which looks at a measure of central obesity in relation to your height. It only takes your height and a weight measurement. Having everything in the middle of your body is worse than having a relative overall obesity.

    And what does having the blood pressure reading of an athlete mean? a 90 year old woman could have a BP of 110/60 but I wouldn't class them as an athlete..

    5'7 and my goal is 150lbs. 140lbs was my highschool grad weight so that would be icing but will be very happy with 150lbs.

    I feel the same as this. I am 176 at the minute and i have a size 10 waist but a size 16-18 hips. There is no way I could get down to something like 145 without looking ill. I have major clavicles already. Aiming to reduce my hips but if I start looking to thin on top I will have to stop.

    5'5.5" and shooting for 145, although now I'm thinking 140 instead :-) I'd be happy with either.
    Moreso than weight, I want a more toned body, especially my arms/back/butt

    I am 5' 7, I want to be 140 lbs. maybe a little more (145) or a little less (135) depends on how I look and feel.

    Im 5.47 and my goal weight is 86 lbs.
    It's a bit "too thin" for some people, but its my idea of perfection.
