According to this I am overweight just as I assumed... The old chart always had me at healthy and I couldn't quite wrap my head around that. A little weight loss won't hurt. So it seems I'd need to lose a little over 8lbs to be healthy. BMI calculator says I should be 79.13 (wth???) to 106.9 lbs

Tall guy 6'3". But u can still add me0

5'3" here and currently 113 after losing 55 lbs post pregnancy. I lift 4 times a week, do HIIT cardio 2 times a week, with one rest day. Currently counting macros for weight loss (though I have hit my goal so now mostly maintenance and am trying to gain muscle) and do intermittent fasting which helped w the last 5 lbs. I like intermittent fasting because it allows me to have bigger meals during my allotted time1

I'm 31 and pretty much dead on 5ft short. I just started on 177 lb. First goal is 140 which sounds quite daunting! But if it takes me a year, so be it. Better than not doing it!
Edit: I don't want to stop at 140, but it would put me in a stone bracket I haven't seen for a VERY long time!1 -
Five foot and half inch ;-) 30 y/o and looking to lose another 40- 50. Feel free to add me ladies.1

I am 5'0 started at 164 and i am down to 152. My first goal is to reach 135 ideally i would like to get down to 115-120. Please feel free to add me. We got this!!!!2

4"11 and omg this weight i cannot lose after almost two years of giving birth. Statistics say for my height i should be 98-110 I'm currently 226. I cant even imagine being that small. My smallest was 170. My goal is 150.
I'm 4'11 too. My starting weight was 150. I know your pain. I want to be around 125 but I have had the hardest time just getting below 147. It's like it just goes up and down between the same few pounds and I never actually lose.0 -

I am 1.53,it is not 5'.I also have the same problem.My weight comes down in the week,and week ends it goes back up to the same weight.And I do not eat more.I actually cycle more.Between 55.5kg and 56kg on the moment.I do not know if the age is counting against me.47 years now0 -
5 ft 1 inches. Envious of my taller friends. I have BMI of 22 now. It is tough to maintain.1

5'2 & 160lbs would love to be 135 or less again1

Shorty here too: barely 5'2 and doctors goal for me is 110lbs (50kg), but I'll be happy at 115lbs (52kg). Currently 140lbs (63.5kg)
I need to lose weight not only to feel and look better, but because I'll be going in for another surgery. Keeping my body in check after the last surgery - with life and moving - has been difficult. Often people don't understand how 1lb makes a huge difference. Hopefully you girls can2 -
I just got home from a week house sitting and my housemate said "have you lost weight while you were away?" - I have, but only 1lb! And he is a guy, wouldn't have expect him to notice for weeks yet!2

I'm going to be 49 years old this year and I think age definitely has something to do with it.1 -
5'3" gal here! Great group. Best analogy I've ever read is: Take a short glass and a tall glass. Fill them up with water at the same rate. Which one overflows first? Helped me manage my weight in relation to my height more realistically, rather than walking around feeling as though I 'should' (if all was fair) be able to eat as much as my taller counterparts and not endure consequences.4

I never even thought of that! Makes sense!0
