I'm 5"3 and 128 pounds, my GW is 120 but it's so hard to lose weight at this point!

"I'm actually currently in a size 8 and I honestly think the absolute smallest I'd be able to get is a 6 (although women's clothing is sized weird anyway).

But yeah, body fat is definitely the way to go.
I got the results from my bodpod and they were way wonky (think it wasnt calibrated correctly) I'm going to have to rely on Internet calculators and my own measurements I think. My belly button and thigh measurements will probably be my go to measurements."

I was WAY more muscled at 145 than 130. (I was pretty well-muscled at 160 but I was carrying around a nice plump layer of fat.) I think I could maybe get down to a size 6 - maybe - if I ate very clean. But Idk if a 6 would fit over my thighs! At 145, my thighs were actually giant, like 25" while my waist was around 27-28". When I did a caliper test they could only grab fat on the very inside of my thighs...I think it really was solid muscle!

The whole visual effect of being very muscled at 145 was a lot slimmer looking than 130 or 160. My body looked great but I ripped a lot of pants. It was a lot of work staying that cut for that long.

Sidenote: I really tried to get that fit because I was coming up on a trip to China, and everyone I had heard from said that 1) the culture is very open about comments on appearance and 2) they think Americans are very fat. When I got there though, people were fascinated by how muscled I was and called me skinny all the time. I don't think the extremely cut/ripped/in shape female body ideal has reached them yet, since they all just seemed focused on being "slim."

Anyway, it's been really frustrating for me because the body fat calculators online don't seem to work well for me, because even though my frame is very broad and big, my wrists and elbows are thin. Like very thin. I have a long torso, broad shoulders and hips, but thin little arms and calves. So I try to measure progress by inches, but sometimes that doesn't work (see: monster thighs).

I'm 5'8". Goal weight of 126, currently a skinny-fat 139. I could eat whatever I wanted when I was on-demand breastfeeding a toddler, but now that I've weaned, I've outgrown my pants! So, it's time to start paying attention.

I'm 5'2" and weighing 147. My goal is 130, and then I'll go from there!

I'm 5"7', CW 144 GW 130. I'm currently at 28% BF and hoping to get that down to 22%.

algingher · April 2015

I'm 5'4", I weigh 154 and my goal weight is 115-120 pounds.

Henninem · April 2015

5'8". CW 142, GW 125. I have a really small frame and almost no muscle mass so even though there is nothing wrong with my weight I am skinny fat.

MrsClevenger11 · April 2015

I'm 5'9" and my starting weight was 160. I weighed 142 when I got married 1 1/2 years ago. I want to loose everything I gained, and then some, maintaining around 135. CW 157.

boomersoonerokie · April 2015

I am 5'4", and I've actually hit a plateau. My current weight tends to be around 138 to 141 lbs. I've been on this plateau for more than a month, and I'm just trying to shake it! I don't have a particular goal weight in mind because I'll be happy once I reach 130, 125, 120... But once I reach 120 I'll become less serious about losing weight and focused more on eating clean.

phillipsx6 · April 2015

My current weight is 110. Not looking to really lose too much more weight. Maybe a couple of pounds. Height is 5'1". I want to tone my body more and make it lean. When you are short like me, every little bit of weight always shows up I the wrong spots...even if you are not over weight.

Hi, I'm 5'5" SW 150 CW 146 GW 130. Working on losing body fat while building muscle.

amandadotson00 · April 2015

Hey yall!
I'm just getting back into my fitness, I've been on a 3 year "do what I want diet" lol
Im 5'1" and weighing in at 150lb
My goal weight is 120lb
I know most women my height shoot for a lower goal weight but I have a curvy body shape, I carry majority of my weight in my bum and thighs, I have a small waist, bigger boobs and I carry extra weight in my upper arms so being realistic with my body shape I think 120lbs is perfect to maintain healthy curves
As far as body fat, I have no idea where I'm at and what a realistic goal should be, over all my goal is to be tight, toned, able to run a 9min mile, at least 30 push-ups, and get flexible and strong to do those impossible yoga poses

nana19581 · April 2015

Hello,
I am 5'5" SW 150 CW 144.8 GW 130. Just starting to get serious about a fitness plan. 56 years old recently retired. Want to lose some weight and build muscle and tone.

Colleen183 · April 2015

I am 165 my goal is 145

Sam_LJackson · April 2015

5'7 and SW 145-150, CW 135, GW 125. I still look squishy at 135 at my current body fat %, but I might go back up later if I get some muscle and end up looking too thin at 125.
