5ft tall women.....what is your goal weight??

peggy638

I tell everyone I am 5'3" -- dr says 5'1". I am at 142 right now -- was 115 when I got married 38 years ago -- I'd be happy to be at 128-130 range. Been there before - staying there is what is tough for me!

Hi, new here too! I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 174 but am a size (m-l shirt/12-10 pant)... but ideally, I guess my goal weight is 135. What seems like a million years ago when I was in college (right when I met my DH) I was 130 and a size 4. I have a lot of muscle mass (thanks genetics and kettlebells!) So really, the number isn't the real thing that I'm shooting for. But if I had to put a number on it, i'd say 135. So, onward and upward! I have 40ish lbs to lose!

I'm 21 and 5'2. Right now I weigh 137, and my goal weight is around 120-125. My short-term goal is just to reach 135 so I can be out of the "overweight" BMI. Really though, I'm looking to become more fit (and lose a few pants sizes), rather than any particular weight. I want to be healthier instead of focused on a number.

Also, most of my weight is fat rather than muscle (I'm a pants size 12-14), so I'm focusing on gaining muscle and losing fat.

I'm 5' and 1/2 and 127lbs. My original goal was 125, but I'm rethinking it now. Still at quite high body fat, approx 27-29%..
Would love to be about 22%. I would need to get to 115lbs for that.

I am 5'1"y-ish and currently 165 at 30 with 3 kids. My goal is 115.

I would love to share my journey with anyone taking a similar one.:)

I'm 4'11'' so almost 5 foot! My current weight is 110 and my goal weight is between 95 and 100. I want to gain more muscle, and lose some body fat. As long as I look healthier, I';; be happy no matter what the scale says.

kosuski

I'm 5'1" and my current goal is to get below 130. After I reach that mark I plan to reevaluate my goal based on how my body looks. I'm hoping to gain some muscle as I lose fat, so I expect my weight to be a little on the higher side for my height, but I do want to fall into the healthy range even with some muscle.

My first goal is to get to 153 which according to an online BMI calculator is the top of the overweight range for my 5'0 height. I'm at 195 now.

The BMI calculator says that the top of the healthy range is 127 but I think I'm aiming for around 130-135 because I want to be strong. When I get to 140 I'll *kitten* my UGW.

If anyone would like to add me feel free.

WHOOPS. Hadn't realized that I already posted!! So, this is a bit of a duplicate entry....

5'0"

I got down to about 107 before I became pregnant with #2 (29 weeks right now). That was a good weight for me in a lot of ways, but I still had a fairly high body fat percentage for that weight - previous weight loss attempts in my teens had depleted some much-needed muscle. I was a bit squishy still.

So I have no idea what my healthy, more muscular weight would be. My plan then, and my plan now, is to focus on physical activity and some weight lifting classes until I am stronger, faster and leaner. Whatever the scale says then, that's the number I want .

Edited to add: If you want a visual of a 5'0" gal at that weight, here was my blog post at 111 lbs (the lowest I photographed at): http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Sparlingo/view/9-months-on-mfp-pics-progress-562921

I am 4'9" and my weight goal is 100lbs. My whole life and even after having a baby I have always been 96lbs, but I would be perfectly happy right at 100lbs.

vancitychic

im 5 2 and my current goal weight is 150 which is a long way to go. I'll reevaluate once I reach it because i'll still be overweight.

I'm 5'2 and my goal is to get down to around 135-140. I have no desire to be skinny, I just want to be smaller than what I am now.

LittleMissFit83

I'm 5'2, 28 years old, currently weigh about 147 and wear a size 6. I'd like to be about 135 and would probably wear a 4. I'm very muscular and can't imagine weighing anything under 125-130... don't think it would look healthy on me personally.

This is my goal to I am the same height as you. I

This is me too.

leti126

I'm exactly 5ft tall and currently weigh 140, but ideal I would be happy at 120 or even 125 which I was 3 years ago before I started college!

kendall916

I'm 4' 10" (4'11" with shoes on). My goal is be 115 or a few pounds under 115. Last I checked myself I was 128 and I am looking forward to weighing myself Wednesday!

emmawatts22

I'm 5' and my current weight is 146 lbs. My initial goal weight was 130 but since ive already lost about 13 lbs., i think I'll aim for 125ish to give me a bit of a buffer or depending on how it looks on me.

Please feel free to add me. Its great to find people with similar weight goals...

I'm about 5ft 1ish and my goal weight is 105-110. I remember weighing 103 in high school..those were the days. Current weight now is 131, but I started my weigh loss journey at 140 in the beginning of January.

sagordon

Recommended BMI range, I'm there at 5'5", but my measurements aren't what I want yet. I try to think of it as the look I want to achieve. I have seen plenty of women at their goal weight without a nice shape. At this point, it's forgetting the scale to some extent and focusing on the shape.
