    I am 4'10" and aiming for 100-105, as I have a very, very small frame. I am 152 now (down 4 since Jan 1st!)

    It's been tough, my metabolism has been in hibernation mode for about 3 years thanks to some meds for a condition...but I am off and since I went off I am FINALLY starting to lose rather than gain!

    I am 5'2 and a half, I take all I can get, and I have dieted plenty of times before. I can never seem to get under 125lbs though. I have been as low as 128lbs 5 times and right now I am at my heaviest at 143. No matter how much I exercised and worked out and watched what I ate I could not get down any further. I think once you hit a certain point the like for me 128 , it looks healthy on u and you will be healthy there. I just wouldnt stress getting down too low, because muscle weighs more then fat. Even though I was 128 everyone thought I was around 120 or 115. So my goal is 125lbs, also when I did my research 128 is the avg weight for 5'3 so I would be fine with that.

    You are totally right!! A goal weight is great, but if it is less than your body's Ideal weight...it ain't gonna happen....know what I mean? My body might not let me get back to 100-105 now that I am in my 30's...it was no problem to maintain 12 years ago...but my body has changed, and my hormones are waaay different now than they were even 5 years ago. Keep in mind that you can be "skinny fat" meaning that you have no muscle tone, or not enough for your body to look healthy. Being 10 pounds or more over your "goal" weight is not bad as long as most of it is muscle. I would be fine with 125 if I was toned, and strong.

    Good luck!

    You asked for measurments or progress pics or something. Anyhow, I'm 4'11". Lost 19 lbs. This is what 111 looks like on me right now. My measurements are 34, 28, 35.5. I was doing weight/strength training until a few months ago when an unrelated injury forced me to stop. I think your goal weight should change as you get closer to the original one and work on what looks good for your body type. It's what I'm playing around with (I had a goal of 115 originally).

    I have a super small frame as well! I definitely have some fat to burn but generally, my frame is teeny-tiny!

    I am 5'1" and weigh 140. I want to be 120 and even lower. I think 115 is good for our height. I have always weighed 105 to 115 until I hit 47 years old and ruptured my disks in my back, that kept me from any exercise for about 2 years.

    I am 5'3" and as of 01/01/2012 was 168lbs. Getting ready to weigh in tomorrow am, but as of last weigh in have lost only 2lbs. I would like to weigh about 130. I think it's not too low of a weight for my frame, and that I still look healthy - not skinny. I don't want to be skinny - just look healthy and firm. Just turned 39... so i'd like to be at my goal weight by next Jan... just in time for the big 40!! I have finally decided to loose my weight the old fashioned way... eating less,eating smart AND working out... to be consistent!!!! wow... i think I feel better now... good luck to everyone! Feel free to friend me as well. :flowerforyou:

    I'm 5'2 currently weigh 149lbs. Aiming for 125-130lbs initially. Will see how I feel when I get down to there as to whether I want to go lower. Want to feel more comfortable in my clothes and not like the 'short dumpy' one!
    Anyone feel free to add me, as seems we all have similar goals!!
