How tall are you?
I am 5'5.
Currently below goal at 131. If I lose more I will take it but I already can wear size 2's and some 4's. I don't feel the need to be thinner but I do want to tone so I am working on that.
Anyway I see a lot of 120 something ladies, just wondering how tall everyone is.

Somewhere around 5'1" and 5'2". One doc measures one way, another doc measures another.

funny you should ask. I've been claiming 5'7" the last several years (was 5'8", I swear, for most of my youth!), but recently got measured at the doctor's office and came in a smidge over 5'6". That was in the afternoon, when our tired, tense spine muscles pull us a bit shorter, so I'd say 5'6.5".
I pulled a goal out of thin air, 150, but my body had different ideas. I now range between 132-136, and typically wear size 4's and 6's. I think if I had the extra skin removed I'd drop a size. I now have the very strange experience of finding that some online clothing lines don't come small enough for me, particularly QVC, and having a hard time finding my size in some stores - the exact same problem I had before losing weight but at the other end of the size range. It's an odd and wonderful life these days.

Tracker starts at consult weight
In maintenance since December 2011.
I'm 5' 4" at my primary care and have been at most of them (had many over the years) but my bariatric surgeon measured me at 5' 31/4" which actually played in my favor for my starting BMI.
My original goal was 135...now I want to get below 120 so I have bounce back room later.

I'm 5'7", and weigh 129. I have pretty big hips and shoulders, so I wear 8's. There is a potential for 6's if I keep losing weight, but my bones won't fit into anything smaller.
This is where I want to be - it is a BMI of 20, and I still have about 10 lbs of excess skin.

It is very strange when you can't find smaller sizes!
I never thought that would happen.
I also did not expect to get below 145 pounds.

We are almost the same height. You weigh a few pounds less, but we both want to drop a few. That is why I love this forum. Everyone is so supportive. I have been criticized, more than once, for my weight and goal by others on the other boards - to the point I finally blocked someone. Most would think at our height a few more pounds is excessive. It is more than just a number....our genetics, bone structure, fat placement, etc.
