    5ft 1 and aiming for 115. About 15lbs to go to this goal. It's a struggle. Even after consistently working out and religiously counting calories, my body is not letting the pounds go...at least not without a fight!

    I'm 5'0 and looked good at 116. I'm currently back in the higher 120's and it looks awful on me. My ultimate goal is to get to 109 and maintain.

    I am 5'1" - started at 135lbs with a goal weight of 112lbs - currently maintaining between 107 & 110lbs - ultimately would like to get to 103lbs but can't be bothered to do another cut right now so just focusing on recomp. I am very petite and narrow so a few lbs makes a lot of difference aesthetically.

    I think this really depends on the density of your body and age. I’m 5’2, 42 years old. In my 20s I weighed 130 lbs and everyone thought I weighed 100 lbs. I remember playing “guess my weight” at the state fair and the guy was really genuinely shocked that I was 130 lbs. I wore a size 4/6. I got down to 115 lbs at one point and you could see my ribs and spine bone, which I didn’t think looked healthy and neither did any of my friends. In my late 30s I was more comfortable in a size 8 and weighed 145 lbs. According to the BMI chart, I was overweight but my doctor told me I was at a good weight when I got pregnant and to gain the normal amount of weight. Three kids later, I’m 153 lbs and wearing size 10/12. For me, the number on the scale has always caused anxiety because it is so different for everyone and too hard to compare yourself. I go by clothing size (as much as you can with all the varieties of the same size!) but still keep my weight in check for what I’ve learned works for my body. I strive to be back at a size 8 because I felt the most comfortable there when it came to the way I felt in my clothes and how much restrictions on eating habits. So my advice is find a clothing size your are comfortable in and strive for that number on the scale when you fit in that size. Just keep losing weight until you are comfortable and don’t beat yourself up to get to a certain number.

    I’m 5.2 and my ideal weight is 140lb, it sound excessive I know but I’ve been dead lifting ext for twenty years so I have massive hams and quads and rather large glutes. my waist at this weight is only an 8 to 10 (uk) I can’t imagine ever going to less than this I would look awful. Isn’t it funny how different all our shapes are...some of you must be like little dolls 😊
