5'4 Whats Your Goal Weight?

Need some opinions.. Anyone 5'4? If so what is your goal weight. Mines is 160 but I am thinking that may be too high.. I would love to be a size 9/10 again.

    I didn't set a goal, crazy as it sounds. I got my band, followed band rules and settled in at a weight at the top end of a healthy BMI. If I wanted to work harder I could lose more, but I am not that

    I'm 5' 6" and my goal is about 160-165, but really anything under 200 would make me extremely happy.

Im 5'6 and my goal weight is 130-140lbs.

I am 5' 10" and my first goal I am reaching for is 200 at this point. If I reach that, I will be extremely happy and if I never get any lower, it will be enough considering how high I had gotten at one point.

I'm 5'1 and my goal weight is 135lbs, I have a long way to go. I'm currently at 264lbs.

thats the weight we talked about for me originally but we have decided on 160. i guess it will depend for me on how i feel and how i look at that. im 66. im a 1/4 way to my weight loss goal now. Its been 7 weeks.

My Dr hasn't given me goals.. Pre-surgery the dietician asked me what I would be happy with but never said this is where you need to be..

Now saying that the first Dr that rejected me as a lapband candidate said I needed to be down to 123 in 1 yr (at 5' 2.5") in order to be considered a success. Therefore, I would never be successful and he wouldn't do the band on someone like me.

Wow! You have got to be kidding? Some people are unbelievable! Look at you now, already down 25%!

I am 5'5" currently 150. My initial goal was 135 but now I am very happy with my current weight. Wouldn't mind to get to 145 for a maintenance range. The weight I thought would be ideal turns out now would be too small for my body type.

Nope! Wish I was joking but unfortunately I left the Dr's office crying that day.

I'm 144 right now and 5'3 I got my band in July 2010 and 10 months later I was pregnant

.. So I have dropped about 40 pounds since my son but my goal weight is 120ish!!

I am 5'3" and my goal weight is 130. This might change as I get closer. I started this journey at 232 pounds and I am currently at 197. I can't wait to get to goal or close to it!!

I'm 5'4" and my goal is 130. Although I think I'd like to get to 125 and then never go over 130. We'll see. My surgery is tomorrow. :o I've done very well on my pre-op diet though - I've lost 19 pounds as of yesterday. :)

I am 5'4 my starting weight was 306 I am at 211 right now. I feel that my goal weight should be 180... I like being thick I don't want to look like hanging skin and bones LOL!

I am 5' 6.5" and my goal is 160' date=' maybe 150. I can't remember being lower than 185, so I'd even take that now :)[/quote']

Sounds exactly like me.

I was 185 about 7 years ago, but only for a few months! Before that, it was high school.

I'm 5' 7". My goal for this year is to get under 200lbs. Long term goal is 160. I can't even imagine weighing 160. Seems unfathomable.

I'm almost 5'6" and I was 145 for a short time in college. I'd love to be back there! Realistically my 1st goal is 155 and then we'll see what happens.
