    5'1 here SW 152, CW 135 (again smh), GW ~110? I've never weighed even close to that as an adult so Idk how it will look on me or how hard it will be to maintain, but I am determined to get there. At 135 with very little muscle build I am in an 8/10 pant size. I'd really love to be a size 4 so that is also another measurement I'll go by as I'm losing.

    I'm 5'2" as well and my goal is 125. I may reevaluate once I get there, but I was happy with my weight when I weighed 125.

    I'm 5'1 my goal is 132# (the high end of a normal BMI) my starting weight was 202, so that's a 70# difference. I'm currently 148# so I'm not too far from goal weight!

    I am 5'2" and 110-120 has always felt good to me. I read somewhere or heard on the tv, and I think some have mention this but 5'2" and the ideal weight of 99-124lbs is just a guide. However, It all depends on your body type and how you feel and are comfortable with.

    I'm only 5'0" and I'm maintaining between 120-125lbs for now, it's in the healthy range and I feel it is aesthetically appropriate for my height (aka, my clothes fit and I look normal/slim).

    My ultimate goal is 110-115lbs, but I don't really want to restrict any further right now because I'm still breastfeeding my 18 month old. I will get serious about losing the last bit (if I still want to) after I wean him. Right now my focus is recomp and maintaining 120-125lbs.

    I’m 5’2. In high school I always weighed about 105. Now I’m in my late 30s. I’ve had three kids and put on weight. A couple of years I got down to 117 but didn’t maintain. Now my goal is 120.

    I’m 5’2 and 130lbs I want to get down to 115lbs and be inbetween 115-120lbs.

    As long as I’m not over 135lbs which is considered overweight for my height I’m ok. I look great now, but for vanity reasons I want to look hot and lose these hips and tummy.

    For Women it is 100 lbs. for the first 5 feet and 5 lbs. for every inch after 5 feet. For men it is 100 lbs. for the first 5 feet and then it is 6 lbs. for each inch after. So, if you are 5'2 it would be 110. Hope that helps!

    This is very inaccurate. It depends on the person, muscle mass, etc.

    I would agree with this statement!

    Hello I’m 5ft 1/2 I am aiming initially for 140lb. I used to be between 135 and 140 and it was good for me as I am quite curvy. I have been lighter but was very ribby so will see how I feel when I get to 140.

    I used to be 5'2" but I've shrunk to 5'. I want to be 112lbs but as I'm currently 175lbs I have a long way to go. On the upside I've already lost 5lbs in 2 weeks [yes I know a lot is water] so I'm on the right track.

    I’m 5”2 and 130. I like myself at 120, although my face gets gaunt around that weight. At 120, I’m a size 2, at 130 I wear a 4.
