    I'm 5'5 and my original goal weight was 125, but I've since lowered it to 120, maybe lower.
    I picked it because my Senior yr of HS I was 140 and chubby so I thought mayb 15lbs less would be better. Now that I'm at 130, I think 10-15lbs less will be best.
    If I liked how I looked before I reached my GW, then yes I would stop, but I know I'm not. Weight isn't so important to me. I just want to look good. I want want abs. I want muscle. When I get there I will be satisfied, no matter what I weigh.

    I picked 145 because at my height, 5'4", 145 is the highest for a healthy weight range. My biggest issue is the skin and how much that weighs. At 145, I'll probably be closer to 135 in body composition if I didn't have the skin on my stomach and thighs.

    being a yoyoer myself i know it isn't about the number on the scale that matters.... i got down to 150lbs once for about 2 years and looked awesome everything was tight and toned... then gave up and gained about 40lbs then got down to 160lbs by just walking and nothing was toned even though i was actually smaller in inches.... don't ask i don't know but as i've gotten older (i'm 31) my weight has shifted and my waist is smaller than it used to be.... but as long as everything is toned and in shape who cares how heavy you actually are.
