    My goal is 115lbs too. I am currently 125. Most of the weight I want off my is on my waist and hips.

    I am currently 143lbs, my goal weight is 130lbs. I know if I get under 120lbs. I look sick. But everybody's build (even at the same height) can be drastically different. My body holds muscle and I have hips. Others have a narrower/sleeker build and can be 105lbs. and healthy. It just depends.

    I've got way further to go than you ladies, but I'm aiming for 140 as a starting point. I'll rethink when I get nearer...

    I'm hoping for 114 and I started at 147.

    Currently 122.

    115 is a totally reasonable weight goal to have. Friend me if you want support :D

    Between 110 and 115...just depends on how I feel at 115. I used to weigh 105 but that was too small.

    130 for me--that puts me out of "overweight" and into "normal" on the BMI. When I was younger I wanted to weigh 110, but I'm old now!

    Check your bmi, does it say you actually need to do weight loss, or do u feel that you need to just turn up?

    My happy weight is 105ish. I look very sick below 100, it's not nice. And because I am flat chested (too smal for AA cup) and have no hips (31 inches), I start to look pudgey at about 115. I think for someone with a more 'normal' build 115 is a good minimum goal.

    Im 5'1". I weigh 140. I used to weigh 132 and I wasn't happy with that. When I was 19 I weight 106. I wasn't happy with that either. Today, if I got back to 115 I would be happy. lol

    i have a larger frame, at least i think so. My chest is a DD and has never been smaller than a D my adult life. I have wide shoulders. I am 32 and my goal is 120-130. I am currently at 153 or so, and i don't care exactly what that final number is. I want to get to 130 and then focus on strength building and how i look and feel (doing those things now too) and no more scale at that point as a determining factor.
    Once, in high school, i weighed 115 or so and i was almost too thin. I think i was "skinny fat" as well, meaning i was not necessarily fit (except my legs from riding bike) and i was not toned.

    Edited to add: starting weight was 193.6 in November.

    i hear ya, im a small B cup (sometimes A) so it makes a difference in weight.. i do have a lunge bootayyy though so it maybe evens out? haha i guess i'll just have to see when i get there and maybe readjust my goals.

    thanks everyone for the responses!

    Question..are you busty and do you have a flat *kitten*? important to consider!! :) for instance I am 5'1" and my goal is 125... but even at 125 i wear a 32 DD and a size 5 jeans just for my back side! Im at 142 [and stuck here :( ] right now.. feel free to add me :)

    Currently weigh 116lbs. Had my initial weight loss goal set at105, but after being on here for a while I think it's too low. So my new goal is to be 110lbs. Honestly though at this point I just want to be toned, and if I can achieve that and stay at my current weight I wouldn't mind that much.

    This is me!! ^^^ I hope to get down to a 34D! I have no bum though, and want to build and sculpt that a bit more :)

    i'm 5'1" and my goal is 105.. but i have been trying to get to that for years, i usually plateau around 107-108. 2-3 lbs may not seem like a big deal, but it feels like one to me! haha.

    anyway, right now i'm around 110. i think it depends on your build and muscle mass. i wouldn't care to weigh 110 if i had more muscle than fat or if i had a flat stomach and thighs that didn't touch ;)

    115 is definitely a reasonable goal! and i hope i don't sound like i'm telling you to get to a lower weight - everyone's body is different!

    I'm 5'1 currently at 110, and can stay here comfortably without too much effort. I have a small bone structure though, and look and feel best around 105. Everyone's different though, and 115 is a fantastic goal.


    I started at 140, with my first goal being at 115.

    that's exactly how i feel! the number isn't as important to me as being toned :)

    I am 5' 2" and I weigh 115 and my goal weight is 120. My goal was actually to maintain my starting weight and tone(belly fat). However, since joining MFP and keeping track of my calories I loss 5 pounds and still have my belly fat. :sad: I plan to change my goals soon...

    between 118 - 125 is ideal for me. I am curvy with always had huge boobs(literally since second grade) and a butt. so i want to have a smal yet curvy, ahtlethic yet girly build :)

    I'm JUST about 5'3 and am maintaing at 120-122. It fluctuates. I found myself not being able to get below 120, so I figured it was a pretty good point for me. I am doing more strength and toning exercises, so I am still losing inches, but gaining weight. I started at 145, so I'm very content with where I am at! My pics are on my page (I don't know if I have a before pic on or not!). You can add me if you'd like!

    I'm 5'2 and I weigh 130lbs now I'd like to weigh 120 but I also don't want to wear anything smaller than a sz 2 and I've been a consistent sz 2 for about a year now I even wear 1s in like Hollister. So you may want to adjust depending on your body type and goals, 115lbs is attainable for some shorties but I probably could never get down to 115. I have bigger boobs (36B) and a little tush though.

    My semifinal goal is 135 (started getting serious about weight loss two weeks ago at 172). At that point, I'll reassess, see how I feel/look. Keep going if I feel the need to or stop and maintain if I'm comfortable with it.

    I'm in the super-busty (DD since highschool) and curvy department, so I think lower than that will probably not be for me, but we'll see when I get there :)

    really is it muscle or fat, 110 lbs of fat is bigger than 110 of muscle, build muscle lose fat stay the same weight.and you look athletic not scrawny

    :tongue: I'm 5'2" and even as a high schooler I weighed 135. I got married a year after high school at 135, and have steadily gained weight since. When I was in high school, I looked good for my build at 135. While I wouldn't mind being back at that weight, I am going to settle for 150-170, and be darn happy with it!!! Providing I can get there....

    I'm 5'1 and currently weigh 174. I started at 188.5 lost 14.5lbs since January 6th. My goal is 125. I used to weigh 123 pounds before having kids therefore hoping I can get back down to that. Even at that weigh I found I needed to lose back then. (I was 107lbs at 20 years old) But at this point I will be extremely excited to get near my goal weigh, it's been way to long.

    Okay, I'm Australian, I don't work in lbs, ft etc, but with the help of the almighty google, I think I'm doing this right!

    CW 150 (about 70kg)
    GW 120 (about 55kg)

    Apparently I'm 5'1" (although I use five foot nothing as an insult! HHhhmmm... Maybe I need to rethink that one!)

    When I was working in an extreme manual labour job, with very simplistic camp meals (think plain boiled broadbeans and beef mince) I got down to about 50 kg (110.)

    I thought I looked awesome, and bloody toned etc, but my Mum said I looked ill, had lost too much off my face - maybe just mummy stuff? :heart:

    Would love to see some before after pics tho! And if you have similar sizing and goals, please feel free to add me.
