    I am 5'3" (at least I used to be) and my goal weight is 120 pounds. I am currently 138.4. Approximately 2 years ago I was 112 which was
    not a healthy weight for me. When my gym membership was cancelled I steadily climbed to the 150 mark with muscle turning to flab and fat. I am now trying to work my way back using a combination of healthier eating, moderate exercise (without the gym), and the support of this web site.

    As of right now, my goal is 140 lbs. =) That is the top of my healthy weight range going with BMI. It may change, I might wanna lose more, I'll decide when I get there!

    I am 5'3 and I always thought the lowest I could weigh was around 140 and yet I am now at 125 and still losing. I always said I was "big boned" and couldn't look lean. I am using Carb Nite Solution and have lost huge amounts of body fat. I look better than I have since high school!! www.carbnite.com

    I'm 5'4" and lost a bunch of weight a couple of years ago. When I started I thought I'd never really be under 150, but got down to 123 in the end. I gained some back due to injury, and am currently around 140. I'd love to be 120 as long as it looked good on me, and I gained back the muscle I had before. I'd be comfortable around 130 or 135, though. :)

    I'm 5'3" and my goal is between 125 - 130. Basically I'd like to be a BMI of 22 (recommended by my doc). As long as I'm lean and strong, where I fall in that range is not as important. :) Any shorties looking for support, feel free to friend me.

    I'm 5'2", and I started out at 203. The doctor says lose 30 pounds, but I'd be happy to get down to 150. Got a ways to go yet.

    I'm 5'5 on a good day and from many years ago I know that anything less than 150 is not attainable. I have large sturdy bones - good for being old and not osteoporosis, bad if I want to be a model :). I am also very top heavy and I have no intentions of looking like Pam Andersen or Dolly P.
    At this point, I'm doing great if I get under 200lbs again.

    I'm 5'3 and my goal weight is 110lbs

    I was 120lbs pre pregnancy and my thighs were huggee (oh gosh not as big as they are now at 133lbs!)

    I would love to get down to 110lbs and see how my body looks.

    I am 5'5 . My first goal is 10 lb which would get me down to 170. My ultimate goal is 160-165. I am very muscular and probably won't look good any smaller than that. :tongue:

    I'm 5'4" and my goal weight is 130-135. My "perfect" weight was 120 but sometimes your body changes with age - I don't want to be thin & wrinkly :) rather have a little fullness than look like a prune :D It's funny - in my 20's when I was 120, I wore size 8 but felt a bit fat. Then I gained 45 lbs after 2 kids, then I lost weight & weighed 130 and got back into size 8 and felt great. So I'll see how I feel when I get there :)

    I can relate to this... I remember when I was 120 and felt fat! I agree about the not wanting to be thin and wrinkly; at our age (I'm 52), too much weight loss can be a problem!

    I'm 5'4"

    CW: ?? will find out tomorrow, one week after starting MFP!
    GW: 130

    I figure I'll re-evaluate at 130. I think my body would probably ideally look better at a lower weight... but when I look at how many calories I'd have to eat to maintain this for the rest of my life, I don't know that any lower is realistic! It will all depend on my ability to keep up with the exercise.

    I'm 5' 4" with medium build, but I have muscle. I'm currently 147 wearing size 4. Stil have a spare tire so I'm going to try and get down to 130-135.

    I've been 122 with out muscle/working out and was sick all the time!!! I'd rather eat more, workout and weigh more. It's not all about what the scale says----it's about how you feel!

    Good luck ladies!

    Wow - I'm 5'4", around 149 lbs... and wear a 10 or 12! This just shows you how numbers don't tell the whole story. You have a lot of muscle... whereas I don't.

    I've kinda disregarded my weight goal... I want to get down to a size six in pants with a toned tummy, arms, and my swimmer's legs back!
