    I'm 5'5''my goal weight for December is 150 but ultimately my goal is to stay between 130 and 140 lbs. I carry most of my weight in my stomach, chest and back, with thinner arms and legs. I look really good at 175 but it's a weight that easily turns back into the 190's for me, where I currently am so I'd like to get well below that.

    I'm 5'4", I used to be 147 but now am 126. I'm hoping to be 115 by summer.
    My weight isn't that much but most of it is fat rather than muscle.

    I'm 5'3 and have started my weight loss journey at 140. My goal is to be 125. I hope I can reach that goal.

    I'm 5'3" and am aiming for 155. I am currently 214, and I have been 155 before, and enjoyed the confidence and freedom that I felt then. Once I get there, or get close, I might try for 130. I don't want to do it too quickly, because I don't want to hear that I look unhealthy from family and friends and loose the encouragement. Best wishes for you on your journey.

    I'm 5'5.5 ( I want credit for that 1/2 inch :wink: ) I have a pretty large frame, really muscular. Extremely top heavy so I would be happy at 160. However, I am aiming for 152.

    Right now I am waaaaaaaay over 200 lbs, so I will just be happy to get to one-derland.

    5'5" and 158 currently... I'd like to be back down to 120, which is what I weighed when I started college, but really, I just want to be healthy and fit into my old jeans so I don't have to buy more!

    I'm 5'3" and my normal weight is supposed to be about 120-145 (or close to). I'm struggling a little to lose the weight so I'm keeping my goal at 140-145lbs. If I get there and think it's realistic I'll try to lose a little bit more.

    I am rather short, only 5 feet and age 44 i have to kids. My goal is not to be a size 1 and 99lbs. I just want to be health. I have a heart condition and was told if I didnt lose weight I would need a defib placed bc my condition was getting worse. I fought everything not to believe the drs. But I am not motivated to lose 30-35 lbs and get to my pre baby weight. Its where I feel best I WANT to be around for my kids!

    I'm 5'3", I started out at 197 and I'm at 180 now. I would like to be about 145. I was at 145 about 8 years ago and really liked it there, however, others (co-workers/family/friends) said I looked too thin.. I'm really not sure why, I fit into a size 8. I don't know if maybe they were just used to seeing me heavy all my life or what! But that weight would probably be my goal at this point. Some even said I looked frail..lol.. but yeah, I think that's pushing it a bit!

    5' 4.25" (yes, I want that quarter inch!) Currently a healthy 120 (smalllll frame) but my goal is about 115 with more muscle than I currently have. I'm working hard building up my yoga practice, so I can teach when I graduate college next year. Needless to say, it's easier and more satisfying when you're stronger!

    IMHO...make your goal in steps, if you aim to high then it's easy to lose faith, if you make the goal attainable then you realize the results of your efforts more quickly.

    I'm 5'3 and my goal weight is 120, which was what I weighed in junior high and I felt great. I'd be happy with 125-127 though.

    I am 5'3 and have no clue what my goal weight should be. haha. I am down to 125-127 and started strength training. I still want to lose fat but I am working on building muscle as well. I am thinking my range should be 115-120. Hopefully I can lose some more weight but if muscle replaces the fat and I stay the same weight I will be happy.

    I'm 5'4.5 and my goal is between 135 - 145. I am very curvy and I'm not exactly sure how anything less than 135 will look on me. I say forget the charts and stop where you are happy. If I get to 150 and I love the way I look at 150, I'm going to maintain that weight.

    Are you satisfied with that intake or are you hungry all the time? If you are hungry most of the day, why don't you try eating a little more? Maybe set your weight loss goal for 1lb a week or 0.5 lb a week. Not sure what you are at now (assuming 2lbs a week). I know eating that low absolutely drains me. It makes the diet process more miserable. Try eating 100-200 more a day or whatever you feel comfortable and satisfied with.
