    I'm 5 ft 6 inches. My goal is anywhere between 130 and 150 lbs. I used to be about 120 ( ten years ago) and that is definitely too tiny for my height and body structure. My advice is to figure out what your range is for your height specifically. It's okay to be at the top of that range, or even a bit above it, if its a healthier weight for your body structure. Once you get near the top range, you will know if that is where you should be, or if a few more lbs off is needed.

    I'm 5'4" and went from 186 to 133 so far. My goals are no long scale related. I'm shooting for a half marathon in May. I'm happy with my body minus the momma pooch that will go away!!!! Lol

    I'm 5'4" and currently 149.8 lbs, I'm proud of being less than 150, that's if my scale is right ;) At my highest when I was pregnant with my first child 4 years ago I was like 190 or something crazy, I gained 60 pounds with her, and with breastfeeding and exercising some I got down to 155. I couldn't get passed that and was dissapointed because after graduating high school I was 118 (in 2001) and then packed on the freshman 15 and then some during college. After college I weighed 150 and did weight watchers and lost 15lbs. I want to get back down to that weight again because I don't think I looked very healthy in my old high school pics, I think I looked too skinny if that's possible.. With my second child, 2 years ago I was 155-160 to begin with and gained 27 pounds (gestational diabetes actually was my friend with my diet) and I have to credit breastfeeding again to my rapid weight loss, and now I'm stuck at the same post-pregnancy, post-college weight. My profile pic was taken in September before I started WW and I just startd MFP 6 days ago. I will try to post some pictures if I can get the courage to. I have a mommy pouch that I hate and am not sure that the extra skin will ever go away.. :( Sorry for the long post, but background is nice to have. I get inspiration from reading many of your posts and looking at the pictures. I do have a question, how do you spread out your calories during the day and balance them with exercise? I'm around the 1380-1400/day and I do exercise 3x/week for 30-60 minutes, sometimes its less frequent depending on my schedule, but I don't know how to not feel hungry or sometimes guilty for eating over my calories yet exercising that same day.. I feel like I should be burning more than I eat, yet it would take me all day to burn 1400 calories..

    instead of eating 3 big meals a day i have 5 small meals (:
    my diary is open if you want to see.

    as for exercise, personally i exercise when i have time,
    usually at nights and i try to make sure i don't eat all of my calories back.
    i try to have at least 200 calories left over everyday after exercising.

    Before and during, the photo on the left was taken October 2011 (266 lbs) , the photo on the right Feb 2012 (218 lbs), I'm 5'4".
    Still working at it but this side by side is a HUGE motivator for me!

    I'm about 5'3'', but I only have a 'before' picture of my face (you can see it in my pictures). Most people don't think it's me. I think I weighed about 183 in it--I'm now 103-105

    I am 5'4 and my goal weight is about 110-112 (I have a small frame but lots of muscle!) If you look at my pics in my profile you can see what I look like at about 115. I am 120 now but trying to have baby #2 :) I know 5'4 women who are 105 and do not look unhealthy and who are 135 and look fantastic! Just depends on your body shape, size etc.

    I chose my goal based on what a "normal healthy" BMI would be, thought it would be too low, but kept it. As I am getting closer I will not go by weight but by how I actually look and feel. I always thought a "normal" BMi makes women too skinny looking and all "10-year-old boy" looking.

    I don't have "after" pictures but I have some pretty brutal before (brutal for me, anyway) I could e-mail (no thank you to posting them at least not yet!!). I started Dec. 2010 at 208 lbs, at 5'4"; I'm currently ~166. My goal weight is 140 and from there it will be to increase tone and stamina... I should probably start exercising? But I've lost all my weight so far just on either healthy eating (the first 30 lbs) and calorie counting (12 lbs :x).

    Good luck :)
