what sort of weight is your ideal weight? I'm really struggling to shed the pounds. Currently about 125lbs but want to be around 105 ideally. Need friends of similar build with similar goals to motivate me!

segacs

I'm 5'1", SW 155, CW 122, GW 115. Though I might go down a bit more than that once I get there, 'cause I'm still not quite where I want to be. We'll see.

Send me an invite if you like.

swirlybee

I'm 5'2" and as of this morning, I'm at 126 lbs but I've been stuck in the 126-128 range for the past 2 weeks. My goal weight right now is 115 and I may shoot for 110. Feel free to send a friend request if you like.

Lostcoastline

It sounds like we are similar. I am 5' 2" and 130. For my frame 105 is my goal weight. I am finally getting my diet and calories in check. How many pounds are you hoping to lose a month?

HeidiHoMom

I'm 5'2 but my goal is 125. I have a larger frame but I also lift a lot of weights and plan to have a lot of muscle when I get down to that weight.

MaddyT122

I'm also 5'2" and lifting weights. My goal weight is 120 - 125 lbs but with some muscle.

Ninkyou

First is 135, aka, a healthy BMI.
From there I'm thinking 110-115. I'll see how I feel about it when I get around there.

brendak76

5'2". SW 130. CW 125. Goal 115.

Ocrgrrrl

I'm 5'2 @130 lbs. My goal is 120-123. All you strength training short girls feel free to add me! I think being short AND lifting definitely effects what a realistic goal weight would be for us. I lift 4 days/week with 2 pure cardio days.

bitbit376

I'm 5'1 and at 148 right now. Goal is somewhere about 120-125!!

dopeysmelly

I'm 5'2". Start weight 190-200lbs, current weight 125lbs, size 2P. I guess my end target is 115-120, but I've been maintaining for a while, so I'm happy getting there slowly.

danielle62384

I'm 5'2 and my goal weight is 125-130 for my frame. I once got down to 117 and people asked if I had become anorexic. Apparently that was too small for my build

CAUSEICANMF

I'm 5'2 and currently 133 and very active
My goal is 125

MorganMoreaux

I'm 5'2 and 125. My ideal is 110. I love the way I look at 100/105 but my family doesn't share my opinion and think it's too thin lol.

puraze

I'm 5'2". I find it easy to maintain 125-130, below that becomes a struggle. We get the short-end of the stick when it comes to daily calorie target (pun intended). Our amount is so low because of our height, even when I did WW my daily points was the lowest you could go while all my taller friends got to eat so much more:/

brynnsmom

I'm 5'2" and have been anywhere from 107 (current weight) to my heaviest of 142. I think I look the best now, but it takes work! At 118-122 I could maintain without thinking about it.

alyci

I'm 5'0 and looking to get to 125. That was where I was in high school and after a child I would be happy to get to that point. If I can get lower I wouldn't mind but I think mentally I want to stay above 110.

megn529

5'2" and my current weight is 125, which was my original goal weight. I think I'm shooting for maintaining once I hit 115.

phoenixx866

I'm 5'2" and I'm working to get to 135. I might stop there.

mardag2

I'm 5'4" stuck in 123 pounds for the past two weeks...aiming for 115-112.

ogmomma2012

I'm 5'2" with a medium build. I think I'll get to 140 and probably ramp up my heay lifting and then slowly lose until 130 or so. I don't think I'd look healthy at any lower than 130. But we'll see.

marisa28a

I'm 5'2 and currently around 136. Ideally I wanted to get down to 112 but I started lifting and I'm hooked! Now I don't think I will ever get down to that weight but that's ok! I want muscles now and low body fat.
It's so frustrating because I am on day 48 of MFP and I have really only lost 2 pounds. My clothes are getting looser so that's a positive change but I thought I would be further along by now. Oh well I just have to trust the process. It's hard to trust it

jen47778

I'm 5'1and am currently 112 lbs, GW is 105. I was stuck at 115-116lbs for the longest time and only recently dropped a couple more pounds. I mainly do cardio with body weight exercises and am thinking its as far as I will get with my current routine so am looking to start up weight training.

Bug1988

Just started today! I'm on a mission this time. Im 5'2'' and 135lbs. My goal weight is 125. I have a more medium build on the bottom half and gain muscle easily. I try and do more cardio. Ive always struggled with staying under 130 so I hope MFP helps me track my sweet tooth better. I'd love to be closer to 120lbs.

Sophiasmomma

5'3 sw 159 cw 146 gw 133 but my dream goal Id be 120 just dont think its realistic for me to maintain.
you are probably at a very healthy weight OP thats why its so hard to lose at this point

higgins8283801

I am 5'2.

My goal weight was 125. I got down to 115 and didn't like it.
I am maintaining between 120-123 and feel I look great there.

My before and after at 123.2 is my profile pic

Yep, loosing weight and keeping it off with a small frame is hard. I used to weigh 60kgs, am now at 49kgs. At 154cm I'm not sure what the "correct weight" should be, I guess it comes down to how far you want to take things and where you feel comfortable. The BMI index can help you decide where you want to be.

To loose the weight, what worked for me were the following things: Write down (or type!) everything you eat, reduce the size of your dishes (I used entree sized plate for a main), treat alcohol as an only sometimes drink (I was having it nightly), no food after 7pm but herbal teas ok, get rid of chocs and any other tempting foods in the house, have an exercise plan (I was doing loads of cardio and have since increased weights, usually 30 mins or so a day), set a time limit on the diet ie 6 weeks. Unfortunately there is no magic potion - all common sense!

And finally be kind to yourself. I now roughly follow a paleo type diet and this helps a bit. It is a constant battle and I don't do half of the things well all of the time, however we all do our best and sometimes fall off the bandwagon.

I admire any person trying to loose weight or make themselves look and feel better. Regardless of how much or how little you have to go, it is hard and it does require commitment. Wishing you well whatever your goal!

CandiceMcD

I'm 5'2" and currently 139. My goal weight is 120, but I would be happy with 125. I have been in the 110s before and I looked like a Q-tip in pictures. I have an athletic build, so the 120s seems to work better. I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong as I have hovered between 137-139 for a month now. Trying to do an equal amount of cardio/weights or things requiring my own body weight. I have to be better about tracking food, like, all 7 days of the week. Have a wedding to attend in the Keys in August, so I have to get it going now!

Talan79

I'm 5"2, med frame. I'm at 117 which is small for me. I tend to stay around 122. My goal is lower bf% and muscle gain. I started lifting 6 days a week in March.

shortiequinn

I'm 5'0, SW 123 but was as high as 135. Currently 110-112 after 113 days on MFP. YAY! Goal is 108. I can already tell these last couple of pounds are going to be the most difficult.
Feel free to add me to check out my diary.

GetThatRunnersHigh

5'1.5" here. Currently fluctuating between 126 - 132 pounds, goal is to reduce body fat. I guess I have a larger frame since my ribs and gap show despite my higher weight. BF% measured at 22.1%, looking to get to 18-19%.
