Short ladies... what is your goal?

HeliumIsNoble

5'2 and a half. Currently: 135.5lbs
Aiming for: between 133 and 135.

I expect that may seem an outlandishly heavy weight compared to the goal weights of other users so far, but my long-term goal was always 133-135, and I planned to reconsider when I got there. As it is, I look pretty awesome in the mirror (in my opinion) and I want to focus on increasing my fitness without risking losing muscle over the next six months. I certainly don't want to drop below 130 lbs because this would make me change weight categories.

NOT outlandishly heavy at all! If you look good and are happy at that weight, by all means, do it. I'm shorter than you by 2" and 135 is my goal weight. I know it's still considered overweight for my height, but I like the way I look at 135 and I know I can accomplish it. I did it once before and well, got lazy and put 60lbs back on. So back at it!

I look best between 95-101lbs. Sitting at 104 right now. I haven't really been weighing myself much however as I really don't care about the numbers. I'd like to reduce my BF back down to 15-17% for summer however.

Edit - height is 5' 0.5" and small framed.

I think frame and weight distribution have a lot to do with it, don't they? I have a broad, squat peasant build for my height, rather than the graceful shape of many 5 footers.

I think the real question here is what are you looking for. Frame wise? When I was 118 lbs I was a size 0 and little to no muscle. I'm Almost 5ft3 138 size 4 jeans but I powerlift so I have a lot of muscle. I know the more muscle I put on that scale will rise. All depends on what you want to go for.

To be pampered.

AllOutof_Bubblegum

I'm 5'0", and I'm at my goal weight, or rather my range:110-115 pounds. (Currently 112.4 lbs) I have a show in 5 weeks, and will probably get down to 107 or lower for that, then reverse diet back to my maintenance range.

diana3648

This is something I identified in my goal. I'm 5'4" and shooting for 120-125, but ultimately, I'm working to get a sub-30" waist with tone...not ripped. I can't say exactly what waist size because the last time I was skinny (not toned) was before my kids, and my hips stayed out after their deliveries. Therefore, sub-30 and toned.

My goal has always been to just get to a healthy BMI. However, I am ~17 lbs from that goal now and I think that 115 lbs could easily be realistic. I'm 5'1.

I'm about 5'2" and my goal was 108-114 lbs, which I reached over a year ago.

amanorr

I am 5ft on a good day! Starting weight was around 190 lbs. First goal is 145 will re-evaluate when I get there! Right now I am 182ish.

5' 2". Currently 121lbs, was 210lbs. Goal is 112-116lbs.

PandoraGreen721

I'm 5'1" and my goal was 125. I got down to 121..but am currently sitting at 125...and I am happy with that. My build though would never look good below 120. So I try not to focus on the number and more how I look and feel.

That's what I'm talking about

tamarbatavraham

5'0" Started a little under 140 and am currently stabilized at 110-115. I'm hoping to get up to 115-120, increasing muscle mass. I feel like I've hit a bit of a plateau in that with just my rock climbing, so I'm trying to motivate myself to do more dedicated muscle work. It just so hard because I don't like lifting! I've been trying to make time at the gym for more work in the hang boards and such for pure strength training or incorporating silly climbing games that are designed for strength building and I've seem some improvement with that. It's just so much slower than my weight loss progress was that I sometimes get really disheartened!

Morganbennett1

5'2" Goal is 135, Currently at 180. I think it depends on how much muscle you want, and how active you want to stay once you get to your goal. I would like to stay relatively active once I reach my goal with lean muscle, so I'm shooting for 135lbs.

Hi I'm 5'0" retired 185 lbs, it's great that we have shorties on MFP but, it would be so cool to have a support group for just us, Would any one be interested in something like that ?.

lovinglean

I'm 5'2 and in maintenance currently with a range of 117-122. I started on MFP at 153 with a goal of 125 but once I got there I decided to go a bit lower.
Mentioning that since I saw a few people say they wanted to reassess goal after they reached it.

how much I gain, my bra size stays the same
