    I'm right around 5'3" and my UGW is 107. That's what I was in college, so after a baby that might be wishful thinking. I have my favorite pair of Joe's Jeans hanging in front of my scale at the moment as motivation. They're a 26 waist (size 2) and I think I'll have to get to 113 to fit in the comfortably. If I can do that, then I'll be happy. :)

    Is anyone having trouble losing weight as it's essentially vanity pounds for a lot of us?

    How did you get through it?

    Ugh, yeah I'm feeling that right now. I hung my favorite pair of skinny jeans in front of my scale so I have to look at them all the time! I keep telling myself "soon! Soon!"

    This is a really interesting thread. :) Thanks for posting.

    I'm 5'3" and can't imagine myself at a 'healthy' weight. So.. I've set my goal weight at 154 which is 11 stone in British 'money'. lol this is overweight but I know WHEN I get there I'll need to adjust my goal but I figure 10lb at a time from then on in is a good aim.
    I was 161 when I met my hubby so 154 will feel wonderful :)

    5'2" and weigh 155 - goal weight 130, any less and I can't maintain it... Really frustrating when your daily calorie recommendation is only 1210, if I'm short even a few calories I get the standard MFP warning that I might be putting myself in starvation mode!

    I'm 5'2" also. Glad to see other shorties on MFP. :)
    I started MFP at 130. Current is 125.5. My mini goal is 117 and I'd love to maintain anywhere from 112-115. I felt my healthiest at that weight.

    Anyone who wants more support, please add me!

    Hey

    I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 143.3 (only just started) - I'm thinking my ideal weight should be 119. However realistically maybe, 125. I don't want to be obsessed with weight but more with inch loss and building lean and strong muscles.

    5'2.5, current weight is 177 pounds and goal weight is 150 pounds. I started out at 264 pounds in August 2009 after the birth of my 2nd daughter. I would look to skinny if I go any lower. I am a curvy girl with hips and butt and thighs and my hubby likes me that way. Good luck all.

    5'2" ish and 114 lbs - I'm only aiming to maintain my weight, but have recently given up smoking, and now eating twice what I used to ... so this is tough ... but proud to be one month smoke free (and no extra pounds so far!!)

    Keep up the good work everyone :-)

    Congrats on giving up smoking. I think you'll find this site very helpful.

    I am 5'3, currently at 160, goal weight 140. I might decide to aim lower once I lose a bit more, but I like how I look at 140.
