My mother has osteoporosis and I have her exact build so am at risk. Started weight training 5 years ago in addition to pilates and cardio. Am 5’4” and 135 lbs and very trim and fit. When I was younger I would have said 120-125 was ideal at this height but in middle age 135 is where I look and feel healthy, strong and energetic. My bone density scans are looking good, too, which is what matters most.

Also 55 and 5'3" with 115 as my ideal weight. Lately I have been about 118 to 121.

Same age but a bit shorter and 115 is relatively "easy" to maintain, but I feel and look better if I stay just below 115. Below 110 is unsustainable and in the past I've been told I look frail when I go below 110. For me even a few pounds does seem to matter.

I'm 5' 1" and weigh 130 and am in my mid 50's. I'm happy at that weight. When I was younger, I looked best at about 110-115, but now that'd be too thin I feel. I would think a few more inches and someone could look great between 120-140.

110-120

I’m 5’3” and I think I look good at 125. Probably better at 120. I have medium frame and muscular legs.

I'm nearly 5 ft 4 and weighing in at 138--definitely feeling a little squishy. I would like to lose 5-10 pounds. 125 would be ideal for me.

That’s my height. At my best weight, I was between 104 (unsustainable) to 128. 114-118 is probably ideal. I am far from that weight but that’s where I should be.
