5'4-5'6 girls!

Tblackdogs

Whenever I read these kinds of threads, I'm so fascinated by how different we all are! Our body type and frame, our age, and our role models all play important parts in what we feel our goals should be. In some people's cases, I'm sure that they get a goal weight from a doctor or nutritionist. Besides pregnancy weights, I think my highest was in the low 150s (though I didn't get on the scale then!). I usually hover just under 145 and don't feel bad at that weight. When I start to creep up over 145 I feel thick and squishy (all my extra weight gets carried in my middle). A couple of times I've "dieted" my way down to a low of 134 and felt thin and fit. As soon as I stop working at it, I creep right back up. The biggest clothes I've had were size 14 but the smallest are only a 10. I'm 5'4 and 49 years old. I think that if I weighed 130 I'd be skinny! I'd just like to never go over 140 again. I think that would be a healthy way to ride out my 50s, 60s, and beyond!

GW: Healthy, Lean, Strong. Ongoing.

My average weight for last 16 years has always been about 125-135. When I was 9 mo pregnant (12 years ago) I weighed 165. In 2012 I went from size 4@125lbs to size 10@164lbs in Aug 2013. In the last year I have lost a ton of body fat. I weigh the same now as I did at a size 8 and I am currently a size 6 occasional 4. MUSCLE. I am not bulky, I am strong. I still have my 34DD and I have an outline of upper abs and a little squish around my belly button that is trying to hang on. My backside did not revert to the flat butt it used to be. I am lean, curvy BUT STRONG.

It is so important to focus on eating healthy and developing your core strength and total body muscles. You may be 5'6" and 120lbs but you will probably have a higher body fat than lean muscle mass. Look in to lifting. You will burn more calories lifting moderate wight than you will in 2-3x the amount of time on a treadmill.

150 is my current goal because it will push me from the overweight BMI category to the normal category. That will be such an amazing day!!! But my goal very well may change on that day as well!

I would love to be at ideal for my height for the BMI, but even my doctor said if I get that low, I would look sick with my body frame

friend me if you have similar goals height and weight

Since I am 5'3" almost dwarf, 5'5" would be a good goal height. I think I am done though.

If I get any smaller than 130 I look sick. The photo of me in white is 128 lbs the photo of me in black is 145. I say I want 130 lbs, but I actually look best at like 140.

You look fab at 145. We're the same height and 140 is my goal.

The lowest I've ever weighed as an adult was 152 and I was smoking hot in some size 4/6 jeans. It really is crazy how different everyone's body is! After three children, I don't think I'll get back down to the 150's. I'll be happy with 175 and a size 8 lol. at 210 I'm in a 14 so it may be do-able.

I'm 5'4" and currently about 172 pounds. I want to get to 130 or so. I weighed less when I was younger, but I think 130 is realistic for a 52 year old woman.

^^Go for it. I hit 139 last week but don't think I'll make it all the way to 130

Though I'd want to be 115 if I could be any weight! But realistically 130 is more understandable.
