    I'm 43 and my current weight is 143 and my BF is 25%. I would like to get down to 125-130. I'm not sure what my BF% should be. I was aiming for 25% but now that I'm there I think that I should perhaps go lower.

    Where are you getting your numbers from? Your BMI doesn't seem right to me....

    I'm 5 feet tall, I started at 180 and my body fat was 35%, I'm now 138 and my BMI is 26%. My goal is to get to 125-126lbs, so I have a healthy BMI of 25%

    I'm 5'2'' and weigh 145, I would like to get down to 115 or 120. I don't know what body fat % is my goal, I kinda just play that one by ear I guess.

    i used the fat 2 fit website they have a calculator that used measurements height age and weight. this isn't my first time on MFP, last year i lost a lot of weight and started exercising like crazy then i stopped, gained some back and now here i am. my arms and legs are still pretty toned. i'm trying to get back down to 145 where i was at when i felt if i was any thinner i would look sickly, and tone my mid-section.

    EDIT: I wear a size 7 jr in jeans.

    I'm 42 years old, 5'2", currently at 136 (started at 252 pounds) and my body fat is between 29-31% (don't have a way to accurately measure that).

    I would like to get down to 132 (was there for a week last September, but then gained about 9 pounds back), but if I don't get there I'm fine being at this weight. I would like to get by body fat down a bit more.

    I'm just under 5'2" and currently weigh 136. I tend to vacillate between 125 and 135 depending on how careful I am about my diet. When I'm at 125 people say I'm skinny, when I'm at 135 I don't get comments either way but I have still been called thin. I've looked at various charts before that say a healthy weight for someone my height is around 120, and I used to kill myself to get there. But, the truth is that's not where my body wants to be and I feel great when I'm heavier than that. If you like the way you look at 145, that's all that matters!

    I'm 5' 2" and I weigh 166 as of now. My body fat is between 34% and 28% depending on which calculator I use. My goal is currently set to 115 pounds, but as I get closer to that I might change it depending on how fit I manage to get :)

    I'm 5'2" and in the upper 120's, I don't know my body fat %. Last summer I got down to 118, but didn't stay there long. I don't feel WAY heavy where I am, but I would be happy to get nearer to 120.

    I am 5 feet and currently 120lbs (starting at 125) with 23% body fat and I hope to get down to 100-105 with only 15% body fat. I have a smaller frame so that little amount of weight looks healthy on me, but depending on your frame size more weight looks better. And really, measurements and body fat are the real numbers we all need to focus on and not that silly scale! I would totally be fine with weighing 125 but having only 12% body fat you know? Good luck on your journey!

    I'm 5'2 and I weigh 179 currently. BF was around 30% the last time I checked at the gym. GW is set to 135, though I may keep going. I'm just trying to be healthier in general, weight loss is a definite goal but it's not a race for me. I'm hoping to get to a 25% BF.

    I'm 5'2" 113 and last time I checked I was 25% but that was taken on a scale and not accurate but I know it's way higher than I'd like it to be. Before babies, I felt smokin around 18%. I'd like to be around there again.

    Below 133 depending on your body style.. If you have an athletic body, it can be higher. I am 5'3 at 160 and still not in a normal range. I was 105lbs at 18 yrs and shot up to 225 by the time I was 21. My goal is to be back at 125 ;)

    am 5'3 and 160lbs. My bmi is 28.55. Make sure you go on the CDC's website for accurate measurements. I am taller than you, just a cpl lbs more and I wear a sz 14 in jeans. Is all your weight at the top?

    I'm 5'2 and last time I checked using an online calculator it was 24.7%( my scale said the same thing so I'm guessing it's right)
    I'm currently around 23% now..
    My goal is 17-21%

    Anyone with similar goals feel free to add me! (:

    I'm 5'1", weigh around 118, and don't really have a weight loss goal, as much as a 'lose fat, gain muscle' goal. Haven't had a proper BF measurement, but calculators usually put me in the 25 - 26 % ballpark, and I'd like that to be around 20%.

    I am 5'2". My goal is 120. Really I feel like I could go down as far as 100-110 and be healthy. I used to weigh that a loooooooong time ago but I am not sure if it is realistic anymore, so I will reassess at 120. I have no idea about the body fat percentage.

    Wow when I wore a size 7 I weighed 103 lbs. You must have a lot of muscle, especially since you said you worked out a lot before. I am betting your waist is really thin and the weight you carry is from muscle.

    I'm a hair under 5'3 and I'm currently at my goal, I think. I'm 108 when I wake up and according to various websites, my BF% is somewhere around 14-16%. Maintaining is my next challenge...
