With the band I got down to 176lbs n some people said that was to small.....

Some people don't like to see changes.. ask your doctor or consult a height/weight chart. I doubt if 176 is too small unless you have a lot of muscle or you have a really large bone structure.

This one at http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm says you should be between 108 and 143 depending on your frame.

Hey thanks for asking this question LHT..I'm 5'1 and I was wondering myself. And Pinky...that chart is cool, I did the frame measurement and found out I'm average framed, not large framed like I always thought I was because my ankles seemed extra "sturdy" even when I was thinner.

I'm 5'3" and set my goal weight at 115 lbs.

When I asked my doctor's nurse why they had selected 128 lbs for their goal weight for me, she said that it was based on their guidelines, which look to be in line with the weight chart posted by Pinky Green.

i try not to go by weight but by pant size. i'm 5'4" and wear a size 6. i think i'm "normal-sized"... not too skinny but not fat either.

I used my BMI chart to figure out a healthy range and agreed that my first goal was the highest allowable by my BMI chart, then my doc said I could go lower and set a second goal that was literally the middle number between the lowest and highest allowed by the BMI. But visually my favorite tool is a site called www.mybodygallery.com . Nothing to bad, it's hundreds of women at every height, then classified by weight and shape. So I'm 5'9, I put in 5'9 at my ultimate goal weight and see what other real women look like at that weight. I actually looked at several different weight scales (they go on incriments of 10 lbs), I looked at someone 5'9 @ 125, 135, and 145 and finally decided my goal is 135 but I'd be happy to maintain at 145. It was a really good perspective tool to use.

I have always said I have heavy bones cuz when people would tell me how much they weight I would b like no way ur smaller than me (thinking to myself) thanks everybody for ur answers ......when I looked at a chart b4 I think my should b around 130-135

This is tough, because clothing is vanity sized now. I am 5'4" 150 lbs and comfortably wear an 8 at all the stores I have tried (Express, American Eagle, AE and Old Navy) and I am still 15 pounds to goal, which may need to be adjusted lower. I have a medium bone structure and medium muscle mass.

I am 5"2 also. My surgeons goal is 137 but i had a body composition scan yesterday and it shows 155. The report will be sent to my doctor.

This is me at 170-176 last year

I am 5'1" I am aiming for 135. I don't remember what my doctor said for me to be but at 14 I was 135 and that was small for me.

I am 5'2" and decided on a goal of 140. That is the near the upper end of the range but I am 55 and know I will have a lot of extra skin to carry around. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that was the goal my doctor also set for me.

I'm 5'2 with a medium, curvy frame. According to the bmi chart, 130 will put me in normal range. When I get there, I may try to go down 5-10 pounds.

Lht, how tall are you? You look great to me....what your starting weight.
