    I'm 5'5 and my goal is 140 and then depending on how I look, I might go for 135. I'm 43 (44 in April). Also, I'm doing a little bit of weight training - not a lot but hoping to increas muscle and that weighs more than fat so when I get close to my goal it'll just depend on how I look and feel. Best of luck to you!!!

    I'm 5'5 and I'm 194 right now. I would LOVE to be at 160. I haven't seen that number in over 10 years.

    I'm 5'4" medium build, medium-large chest. I am currently at 138 but having trouble getting lower. I am currently wearing dress pant size 6-8 which looks pretty good on me. I decided it's time to focus more on muscle mass and less on my weight. So I'm guessing it'll start going up once I focus more on lifting but my body fat % should continue to go down. :)

    I am 5"4". I have a pear shaped body & on the "big boned" side. When I tell friends that I am 235lbs, they are in disbelief. They think I look like I weigh less than what I really do. I hide my weight well I guess. I have been down to the "recommened" 130-145 range for my height. I DID NOT feel or look healthy to ME! I am aiming for a more realistic 150-160 range. At that weight, if I continue to carry my weight well, maybe I will look like i'm 130-145! LOL! :P

    115... I think. I'm at 132 right now, but I've been having some issues with nighttime eating despite massive workouts during the day. I suppose I need to mentally get a bit healthier before I can settle on a distinct goal.

    . Anyways, I think every person is different, we all have very different builds. The important thing is to make sure you are healthy and are happy at what you see in the mirror.

    I totally agree with this statement!!

    btw..... I am 5'5, large frame. Would be happy to get down to 160-150 even though the charts say my ideal weight is 123. Personally I think I would look like a skeleton at that low of a weight. Hence my agreement with the above statement!

    I'm 5'4" with a large frame. My original goal weight was 150lbs. I hit that in Sept 2010. In May 2011, I lost another 5lbs (or so) and have been hovering between 143-150lbs with an average of 145-146lbs. I was down to around 140lbs in the summer and had people ask me if I was sick or if something was wrong because I looked "too thin". I was going to try and get down to 135lbs, but changed my mind. I'm happy and content right where I am. :)

    I am 5' 5". I have a muscular, medium frame. I can gain muscle crazy fast. For me, the scale always goes up before it goes down because of the muscle I gain quickly (just from basic cardio/weight training). I am currently 183lbs.

    For right now, my ideal goal is to get to 160lbs, after that, I am going to work on getting back to the 140lbs, and from there I'll see how I look and feel. (I think I'll be quite satisfied then.. :) )

    I remember being 140lbs and thinking I was fat...LOL! ::perspective::

    My happy weight is 145 to 150, my muscle mass builds very quickly, I say to stop when you look and feel fit and healthy and don't focus on a number

    Hello Everyone!
    According to my BMI,I'm overweight at,137.6 pounds and should be weighing 120lbs. So,for now,that's my target weight.
    I have cousins on Facebook,where we check in everyday,with our fitness activities,to keep each other motivated. I also signed up (a while back) on Dr.Oz,for the Transformation Nation and went into Weight Watchers today for my weigh in.
    I also got a Fitbit pedometer,that also gets me motivated. I gotta do this thing. This extra weight is a downer!
    So let's do our thing! Y.

    I am 5'3 and have a small frame. My goal weight is 118 because that's what I weighed when I felt and looked my best about two years ago. My weakness is sweets, so I am at 129 right now. Hate that muffin top! It has got to GO. I am fairly active and I think that is what is will take to get to my goal, along with staying around 1200 calories a day.

    Talk to your doctor, sweetie. That sounds way too low to me. I weighed around 100 pounds in high school and I'm only 5'3". That was too little for me way back then.

    I'm 5'4" and my goal is 150-160. I have a large frame so I do not expect to ever get down into what is considered "ideal" by BMI standards. We shall see if that changes when I get closer to my goal weight; it depends on how I look at that weight. I hate that the BMI chart does not factor in frame size.

    ETA: I found one that does factor in frame size, and it says that someone with a large frame can add 10% to the BMI range for their healthy range. My goal weight is near the upper end, but still in the "Healthy" section of the BMI range for a woman with a large frame. The one I used is here: http://www.livestrong.com/article/36520-calculate-accurate-bmi-large-frame/

    I'm not even 5'3 but still had to respond. I am 5'1 but based on my build I would like to get to 140. From what I can remember (it was such a long time ago) the 130s didn't look good on me.

    I'm 5'3 and my "paper" goal is 135 but I'll have to see once I get down to 160. I have a very heavy build and I haven't been under 140 since high school, and back then I was in a dance company so I was dancing 8-10 hours a day minimum and had the teenager metabolism to boot. Completely unrealistic for my life now. I want to be able to maintain my weight without dedicating so much of my live to exercise that I can't enjoy it.

    I think I'm around 5'3ish. (Give or take a lil) My goal is to be 118. I have a small frame and hardly any boobs but I think I will be happy with 120 or 125.

    I'm 5'4" and have a very small frame. For me about 120 seems to be the best target.

    I am a sixty six year old grandmother and have struggled with my weight all my life. I remember weighing 135 and feeling fat. I have fibromyalgia and it is difficult for me to do any cardio fitness exercises without stirring up Fibro symptoms. Those symptoms debilitate me, but I am determined to get this weight off. Two years ago, I lost 60 pounds with Food Addicts Anonymous but I did not stay with them. I gained all sixty plus back as I usually do with dieting. I felt so deprived and such a failure.

    My daughter got me into this program and has made suggestions that I do it slowly by setting a higher target weight.When I reach that weight goal, I can set a lower weight goal and the calories will be automatically readjusted.. That seems to be working better for me. I am 5' 4 3/4 and when I started I was at my highest weight ever of 230 lbs. I have set a target weight of 180 rather than the 145 I was shooting for. I do not want to weigh myself because I had lost six pounds and found two. Any suggestions as to when to try to weigh in again? I get down if I feel like nothing is working. I also have arthritis in my knees and hips and even walking to burn calories is difficult. I am still going to try for 145 pounds, because that is where I felt the best in my former life. I hope this helps someone.

    Im 5'3" and at 147 lbs currently. SW was 189. Id love to get to 130 but I'll take 135. The weight loss is so SLOW right now since Im close to my goal so 135 might be more realistic. Im going on a cruise in 2 months so Id like to be at 140-143 by then!


    For those of us just starting your weight loss is especially inspiring! :flowerforyou: Great job!

    I'm 5'4 and my goal weight is 120-115. When I start getting closer to around that, though, I might change my goal depending on how my body will look.

    5'3 & 3/4 Goal weight is 135. I've been less, but don't really feel the need to wear a size 3 any more. I'd rather be a healthy weight and get to eat and drink a beer every now and then:)
