No way! Thats a good weight - youre pretty tall. I bet you look quite slim at 141

I was 120-125 back in my teens and early 20s. I’m 45 now. So I feel like I’m huge compared to these weights people have.

Well me too, im 142 but have been losing 1.2 lbs a week...sooo maybe ill see if i can get to 135...or less? No idea at this point

Kind of aiming for the same. What have you been doing that works?

Filling up on better quality foods (for fiber and protein) = less craving for snacks.

Same but I’ve kind of stalled for the last 10 days.

Oh thats very frustrating - I think just continue what you're doing and your body will catch up and restart the losing process again...maybe in a week or so.

I wonder how different our bone structures must be for 5’4” tall women to all look good at very different weights.

I’m 5’4” and feel great at 135 although I’ve spent most of my late 30’s-late 40’s in the 145 range. That’s not ideal for me because I’m not muscular. I feel like I’d look like a bag of bones at 120!

I follow a dietician on IG who is about 5’4” and 150lbs. She muscular but not too much. She looks fabulous. Seriously fit. Not skinny but thin.

I think it’s really different for everyone.

I don't know if someone has said this, but how I "feel" at each weight is confounded by age. I felt best at 125 lbs, but it was probably because I was 30, very active, ate well, and had not had kids yet.

15 years later, my discomfort is from bloating in the evening, a temperamental back, and achy joints. I am 135 now, but even if I was 125, I think I would "feel" the same.

Me again. I'm a very fine-boned Asian, so when I was 110lbs, I didn't actually look skinny, just normal. Now 120lbs, in my 40s, sometimes I feel as if I'm carrying too much for my bones. I know people here may not understand, since most of them have a stronger bone structure. My family is very slender.

I am with you, not asian but north african and i also have a very thin bone structure. I manage to look a bit chubby at 120 and 5'5". I look best at 110 (currently 117)

This is me as well, but I drink wine. It would easily go away if I stopped.

At 5'4" you should be size 0, 5'6" size 2

I’m 5’4, am 110. I look slim irl but in photos average. DH I think likes closer to 120 on me. I look average at this weight irl but in photos can look chubby. At 105 I look too thin irl but I love the way I look in photos.

I am 5’4”. At my most fit, bikini body, size 2, I weighed 134. I am a bit busty and build muscle easily, so that may be why I weighed more than I looked like I did.

I am 5 foot five and 145 is a good weight for me, more than I know what some people have said, but I have a lot of muscle I still wear a size 6 to 8 when I’m that weight

I thought the same. I stopped drinking 12/31 and didn’t lose any ounce for months.

This is me. I’m confused why I look so much heavier in photos. Are you also small boned?

When people see me after not having seen me in a while they always ask if I’ve lost weight. I think it’s because they’ve only seen me recently in photos.

A lot of people look heavier in photos. The camera really can add weight—lighting, angles, your clothing captured in the wrong way will do that.

I think the guideline is
100 lbs for 5 ft.
Add 5 pounds for every inch taller.
So 5'4 would be 120 lbs, 5'5 would be 125
