The BMI calculator you used was partly correct, but also flawed. At 5'4", the LOWER end of your healthy range is right around 115, so the BMI calculator was close. But the UPPER end of your healthy range is about 140. I know because I'm also 5'4" and very small-boned, and that's my healthy range too. 130 is a perfectly good goal for you. In fact, once you reach 135, you should reassess by looking in the mirror and (more importantly) speaking with your doctor about what you should consider doing -- losing more, or just going on a good maintenance plan to stay at that weight.

I'm also 5'4" and according to my doctor, my ideal weight range is 117 pounds at the bottom, up to 146 at the top. 114 pounds would make you underweight. If you get to 117 pounds and still feel "chubby," you need to do three things.
1) See your doctor and ask if you can lose more while remaining healthy;
2) Start working out, because even if you're tiny, you can feel chubby if your muscles aren't toned;
3) Talk to a licensed counselor (therapist, psychologist) about your feelings to learn if there's something within you that keeps you from having an accurate self-image.

I´ve reached my once ultimate goal weight, but I feel like I´ve still a while to go. At 115lbs, I still have a lot of fatty tissue to lose... and yes, I plan to mostly replace that fatty tissue with muscles. x3
I don´t know, my goal ultimate goal range of weight, depending, is between 105 and 120lbs.

I'm 5'10'' and 156 pounds.
My BMI is a healthy 22, but I still have some extra baggage sad I'm going to try to lose 15 more pounds.
So yes I am skeptical of the BMI calculator because I still have rolls and that doesn't feel healthy.

My weight goal is 120 lbs, but also would be satisfied if I couldn't get lower than 130 lbs. I'm only 5 feet tall (just!). Last time I was 120 pounds I was 16, and I remember feeling normal and comfortable in my skin.

My goal weight is between 140-160. My BMI says I should be in that range but thats not my goal cause of them.
I am very sketchy of BMI. It was made during sometime for a specific purpose not a healthly one from what I understand.
