    I'm 23 and also 5'4" or 5'5" ish.. My starting weight was 142, my current weight is 129, and my goal is 120ish.. I originally had it set at 115 but I thought that might be too low.. So I'm aiming for 118-120 or so.

    I also want to lower my body fat percentage.. that, to me, is more important than the number on the scale going down! My starting % was 23 I think.. I have an appointment at my gym to get it measured again on May 15th, so hopefully it'll be lower then!!

    I'm 5'5!
    SW:210
    GW: Between 160-175

    I've lost 10lbs so far but still have a long way to go. I was happy with my size at 160 but once I get there I will re-evaluate!

    I am 5'5 and currently at 138! Starting weight was over 150, goal weight is 135. Originally my goal was 140 but I still have some toning to do. I am gaining some muscle so trying to focus less on the scale and more on how my clothes fit, but I'd still love to hit 135!

    At this weight I am in sixes which I am VERY happy with.

    My SW was 230, CW is 159, GW is between 145-148. I want to be 17%-18% body fat, instead of focusing on an actual weight. We are going to begin trying to conceive again in October, so I want a healthy body fat percentage during that time. But I also want to be able to be happy with my body and not go into my new pregnancy like my first one, eating everything and not caring about the consequences. Lord knows it is difficult enough getting rid of baby weight alone, but this time I will be over 30!

    I'm 50 years young. My goal weight (realistically) is 131. Any less than that and I start to look too skinny (read old) in the face and neck.

    I was 147 when I started on MFP and now I'm 138, which looks a lot different to 147!!

    I was only 102 when I was 18 and was eating perfectly normally but my metabolism seems to have slowed down a lot since those days. I had twins at the age of 26 and only weighed 144 at my heaviest whilst pregnant even though I carried them to 37 weeks.

    So, basically, I'm a skinny girl trying to get out of a middle-aged woman's body!!

    I'm 5'5.5'', and my current weight is 128 lbs. I think I'd be super happy at 120 ish. I'm not a very big build at all.

    Proud 5 foot 5-er here! My starting weight was 247 pounds. I have been heavy my whole life, so I wasn't sure a goal weight. So I started of with my goal weight originally at 150 then I changed it to 135 sometime ago. I'm currently at 157 and I'm thinking about changing it again to 125. =) It is nice to know that I'm only 7 pounds from my original goal weight. =)

    I'm 5'4 1/2" and my goal weight is 125. I was at 129 a year ago but now at 149. Slowly creeped up on me. I have hypothyroid which also doesn't help even with medication.

    Add as friend, I need encouragement and I can offer the same.

    I am 5'5" and my SW 229lbs, my CW is 211lbs my first goal weight is 185lbs. The smallest I have ever been was 139lbs, and I was too skinny. I am not so much worried about the scale, but I want to fit into size 9 jeans, which I was able to do at 185lbs last time.

    I'm 5'4" and my goal is 160! Ultimately 145 but the lightest I've ever been (and I was low body fat, lots of muscle) was 160 so that's my goal.

    Thats my goal too!!

    145 is my goal. My skeletal form wouldn't allow me to be less than a 12 around the hips and I like my curves so I'd be over the moon at 145.

    THIS!!
    I'm naturally quite muscular so for me to be under 145 would mean I would completely lose the curves that I have.

    I'm 5'5". My goal weight is between 145-150.
    I don't think I could go lower than 140. I still wanna have some butt, thigh, and boob haha
    Right now I'm 151, and when I started MFP I was 171.
