    I'm 5'2 and my goal is to be around 125; however ideally it's my body fat % I want down to around 20% no matter the # on the scale.

    Probably 110 or 115. I'm 125 right now, but I've lost absolutely no weight since February.

    I am 5'3" and my goal is 150. I have areas that are not going to disappear unless I get surgery so this will be about as low as I can get. Even in HS my thinnest was 118 and that was really skinny for me.

    5'3, got down to 137 and was pretty happy with that until I moved for uni and as of this morning weigh 180.6. Right now I'd just like to get back to my previous low weight and hover around 135. I have learned a lot about the way I need to eat and work out so I think 130 might be within reach but I'm not sure that's something I can maintain. We'll see when I get closer!

    I'm 5'4" and started out at a whopping 326. My eating habits had spiraled out of control. I've never been small all my life. I've struggled with obesity since middle school. Last April, I drastically changed my diet and began exercising. I'm now down to 246, but my goal is 140-150. I hope to be down to that in another year. 106 pounds to go. Seems so far away....

    I am 5' 3"
    SW-150
    CW-143
    GW-120-130(not sure yet, since I haven't been that size in a long time)

    I will say that when determining your goal weight you should definately look at your frame size as well as height. I never realized until a few weeks ago how different 135 can look on 2 people both 5'3, but one small frame and one medium frame. Last summer my friend who is small frame 5'3" was at her highest of 135(post pregnancy), I also 5' 3" but medium frame standing next to her in a pic probably about 145-150 at the time look skinnier than her. She now is currently 104 and looks healthy, I know if I dropped 40 more lbs I would look like a skelaton! Just something to keep in mind. :)

    Here are 2 sites I used to determine my goal:

    I'm 5'3 and a flabby 135-or-so pounds. While I don't really rely on the scale too much anymore, I would like to be realistically a fit 125 pounds.

    I used to care a lot about weight, and want to get down to my old weight of 105-110. Now I am more toned, in better shape--but I weigh more. I'd rather reduce my body fat percentage and not look at what the scale says!

    A while back I heard this rule of thumb for what one should weigh, and remember, this is just a guideline..it is: 100 lbs for the first five feet of height, and 5 lbs for each inch over five feet, PLUS or minus 10%.

    So a 5'3" person would be 115-137.

    I am 5'3" and at one time I did weight 115, but I also looked good at 125. Now I'll be happy to get down to 130.

    One must, of course, take into consideration bone structure - some people are just built smaller or larger than others.

    I hope this doesn't spark a firestorm of arguments because really, each of us is different in size, shape, and goals. We need to do what makes us happy.

    I'd love to know how many calories you are eating each day since I'm 5'3" and can't figure out how many I should be eating.

    Ideally I would like to get down to 135-140-however if I am 145 and my body fat is 18 or below I will be completely happy with that, for me it's more than what the scale reads....a better goal is that I want to be a size 6.

    Around 120 pounds but we'll see when I get closer. Might stop at 130 if I like how I look and feel.

    I'm 5.3 with rounding and I am shooting for 150 fit and toned. One of trainer friends told me 160 so we'll see how I net out. Brothers like us with a little meat on our bones so I am going to give it my best and be happy with the results!! LOL

    My current weight is 116lbs and my goal weight is 100lbs. But since I've been working out and seen a dramatic difference in muscle tone and inches lost without any significant changes on the scale, I have decided that it is okay not to reach that goal. The important thing is to me is to just look and feel better overall.
