5ft 3.5 - 5ft 4 ladies - goal weight?

I would love this also.

For that height a goal of 115-125 is healthy (I wouldn't go below 110 tho). Start at 100lbs for 5 foot and add 5lbs for each inch. Small frame (wrist circumference of 6" don't add lbs), medium frame (wrist circumference of above 6" to 6.25" add 5-10lbs), and large frame (wrist circumference above 6.25" add 10-15lbs). I am 5'2" so I would start at 110lbs and have large frame so I add 15lbs (my goal weight is 125lbs). I hope this helps you!

Height: 5'4"
CW: 120 (32"-25"-36")
Goal weight: I could live with getting to a fit 110 this summer, but 115 is fine, too.

mlanders22 · March 2014

I started at 262 (and that wasn't even my highest) so my first goal is 162. I'll see how I look and feel and decide my ultimate goal from there.

mrsfyredude · March 2014

Wow...the different ways women carry their weight and the variance in sizes always amaze me, I'm 5'4" also and approx. 164lbs and I'm BUSTING out of my size 12 pants! And there is NO WAY I could get into a size 10 ANYTHING!

211 going for 130

mercergirl2008 · March 2014

In 2009 I went from 215 to 160. I was a size 8 so that's not a bad goal. I'm back at 211 right now going for 130. If I get to 150-160 and I'm happy then I won't worry about getting any smaller.

cnl91_W · March 2014

I'm 5'2'' and hoping for 120-125! It's more important for me to be fit than have the scale dip to 110.

PaminTewksbury · March 2014

I'm 5'4" and my goal weight is 145-150...I'm pretty top heavy and no matter what my weight this is always the case so 135, although ideal for my height, isn't realistic.

lisajsund · March 2014

Depends on your body composition, how much body fat vs lean tissue you have.
I'm 5'5" and currently have a body comp of 28% body fat. I'd like to get between 165-170 and maintain the 135 lbs of lean tissue I have. More lean tissue = more calorie burning = more food to maintain!

Have you ever had this done? According to BMI, my "healthy" weight range is 111-149. If I made it to 149 with maintaining my lean tissue, I'd be 9.3% body fat. Much too low for a woman of child bearing age.

McKenzieLeigh · March 2014

I am 5ft 3. Somewhere between 140-150 for me. I just can't imagine being much smaller than that, but that is probably because I can never remember a time where I was. I guess I'll see when I get there!

anotherwarriorgirl · March 2014

Height: 5'3.5"

SW: 145/6 lbs
CW: 136/7 lbs
GW: 120-124 lbs

I carry my weight well. Even at 145/146, no one would have considered me fat. However, I am currently pursuing a lifestyle diet change and as a result have lost weight and felt much better. I feel less bloated and "heavy" than I was previously.

I feel really good about my current weight. No one except my grandma has even noticed that I've lost almost 10 lbs. I have a small waist, but a large butt and thighs. I do not need to lose more for aesthetic reasons, but I know that I have a higher body fat % than I need and it is a goal of mine to start weight lifting/bulking eventually.

The smallest I have ever been is 118 lbs. That was when I was 18 years old (six years ago). I worked out a lot, so I was in great shape, but I know that with age and more responsibility, that would be a struggle to get to. Plus, I don't know that I would be more or less healthier than my goal weight of 124.

minischnauz4 · March 2014

I agree on the size differences. I'm currently 164 and wear between a 12 and a 14. My friend just told me she got down to 177 recently and bought a size 8. The last time I was a size 8 I was 125 lbs. I guess tiny sizes just aren't meant to be for me, but as long as I'm healthy and like the way I look that will be ok with me.

Babarrosa1 · March 2014

I'm 5'4 and I'm aiming for 130-135

I'll know when I get there! Currently around 150.

:happy:

catherinemaxwell566 · March 2014

Im wondering if youre thinking UK sizes and shes thinking US sizes

fishing4jc · March 2014

Hey there, I feel ya. I am 5' 4" and currently weigh 134.5 (starting weight of 138). I keep having in my mind that I should be in the very low 100's, because I was there or below 100 for most of my adult life. I have researched, and researched and polled tons of ladies on this. I just need to realize that at 5' 4" any where between 105 - 140 is completely normal. You have to focus more on inches. Mine are mostly in my midsection, which is where I'd like to lose about 5 - 7 inches. Anyway, I have decided to eat MUCH better than I have in the past several years, walk (or other exercise) 3 times a week, and drink TONS of water (about 64 to 70ozs a day), and just let my body fall when it is most comfortable weight wise. I'm not wanting to be a skinny, frail old lady one day. . .I am okay with 125 to 130ish pounds as long as I can get rid of the pot belly. BTW I am 52 years old, have had 4 kids (now two grandkids) those few extra pounds are expected. . .but I don't have to keep 'em. You'll be fine if you focus on healthy and fit. . .and not numbers on the scale.

kikicooks · March 2014

I'm just under 5'4" and I was happy at the upper 120's but that didn't last long, I've gained some back. I'd like to get back to that but really don't care what the number is as long as I can lose fat, so if muscle wants to replace that and weigh more I'll take it.

Kaylaef · March 2014

right? It is odd! Thats why i think the bmi is kinda bull**** for me, because I can't even imagine myself at 140. I feel as though I'd look sickly.My BMI says OBESE, and my hip to waist ratio is in normal? I don't get it. haha

catherinemaxwell566 · March 2014

if we're talking UK sizes I wouldn't get down to an 8 until im 115lbs at 5ft3

dettiot · March 2014

I'm 5'3" and 36 years old.

SW: 195 lbs
CW: 142 lbs
GW: 130 lbs

I've never been below 145 pounds as an adult, so I picked 130 as a goal weight just to have something to work towards. I'm thinking I might try and get to 120-125 as an UGW. But even more important for me is body recomp once I get down to around 130. I'm hoping to hit my goal weight by the beginning of the summer and be in maintenance for a few months as I transition to doing more strength work and less cardio.

Right now at 142 lbs, I'm squeezing into size 6 jeans and am solidly an 8 in regular pants. Tops are mostly a medium--I'm a 36G, so it all depends on how the top is cut.

Good luck!

mrsfyredude · March 2014

Well I'm thinking US sizes, if she's thinking UK sizes that would explain a lot, though this is not the first time I've noted (to myself mostly) that a lot of different women, my height and of various weights wear various sizes of clothing.

transatlanticsm · March 2014

I'm 5'4" with a medium frame. My goal weight is 130

Kaylaef · March 2014

we are like the same person

thickumsfit · March 2014

a little taller at 5ft 5 I hold my weight around the middle always had great legs though. Doing Insanity and Clean Eating and hopefully it will yield results. I'm trying to do it without supplements but that's proving to be difficult right now. Before joining fitness pal I did a detox with juicing and lost 5lbs so technically my starting weight was 189lbs.

Kaylaef · March 2014

I am 5'3.5" and have weighed 145 before and found myself too thin. I would suggest setting a goal weight that is at or above the suggested 120. I have a large frame so 120 would be way too thin for me.. but if you have a petite frame might be ok Good luck!
