Females that are short!

I'm 5'4" (barely) and my goal weight is about 130-135. If I get too much below that, I look skeletal (visible rib cage at 125 was NOT pretty). I don't really judge myself by dress/pants size, since I have a badonk and will never go below maybe an 8 in pants, no matter how hard I try. Besides, 15-20 to lose isn't so bad!

I am 5'0" and 109 and STILL have belly fat. UGH. I have a small bone structure. My original goal was 105 but now I am going for 100.

I started at 136 in May. Weight loss has been extremely hard for me at this height and size. I have had to work my butt off and eat very clean. I had to cut out all sugar, white bread, pasta and potatoes. I eat high protein/low carb.

Feel free to add me.

I'm 5'1 and 130 ... Working for 120... Just talked to my mom today about my goal and she says it's unrealistic because of how much muscle I have. I'm looking in to getting my body fat checked to see what I can lose. Definitely based on body structure unfortunately

I'm 5'4" and my goal is 125 but I'm may go lower, depending how I feel (115 is low end for my height). My sister is 5' even and weighs in between 95 and 100. I think that if you get to your goal weight and you want to go more, I don't see it being an issue. Just don't get sucked into the you-must-look-like-this ideal that society has as a whole.

I'm 5 Ft also and I USED to be 120lb. When I saw that if I gained just 8 more boundes then I'ma be over weight I got really scary and started going on a diet .but know I'm 106 but my goal is 100 . And Good luck!

I'm 5'3" and started here at 196 - right now I'm aiming to get under 150; we'll see where it goes from there. I'm down to 176 now,

I am 5'0" and usually i was anywhere from 115-120. I joined the Marine Corps and dropped down to 108lbs. I was thin, but i was also very toned and had a lot of muscle because of it. Even now, i don't think I would want to be THAT tiny, but the number doesn't bother me as much. I'd rather have a lot of tone and definition and be muscle instead of just a lanky flimsy weight. Now 5-6 years and 2 kids later, I am more than i have ever been but I'm takin it a day at a time, and so far have lost 8 pounds. small amount so far, but it's progress and i'm good with that.

I am 5' and mfp has suggested 94-128. i set mt goal at 110 although i haven't seen that in 10 years. we will see how it goes. age has a little bit to do with it. i am currently at 135.

JeepsMcCreeps

I'm 4'11" and 120 pounds. Try as I might, I can't seem to get under that number, but I'm not big by any means. I'm a size 5 and have a 26 inch waist, I still wanna be more toned in my tummy area and lose a bit more body fat. I want to be around 101, though.

I'm 5'1". My goal weight is 125 lbs. (When I reach that I'll re-evaluate) That will put me close to the middle of the healthy range.

Edited to say: I'm 53 and not sure I will ever be as small as I was in my 20's.

I'm 4'11 and 53 years old. My weight range is at 92-128. I started my fitness pal beginning of June and have stuck with with it ever since. My weight when I started was at 147 and I am now at 117. My goal is to be at 115 but may try and go a litle lower after the holidays are over. I am feeling real good, better than I thought I would. I do have to remember to eat and can feel it when I miss or do not eat enough. I am finding that if I continue to exercise and eat healthy the weight comes off. There have been times that my body will stay at a weight no matter how hard I exercise and then out of the blue I drop a couple pounds.
Hang in there, I love this. I have done different diets in my time and this has been the best resource. Friend me if you like. I am high energy, love to go to the gym, love to try different foods and always looking for new friends.
Good luck to you!

Wow I'm so thankful for all your input ladies! You've all helped out a lot, and congrats to all of you on reaching some amazing goals. Can't wait until I'm there!

busterrocks

I'm 5'0" and weighed 95-105 my entire adult life until the last few years when I put on a lot of weight!!! I started at 155 & lost a couple of lbs but it took a long time. Joined MFP a 6 weeks ago and have lost a lb a week. I would be happy at 105-110.

Good luck to you!

MaraDiaz

I'm 5'4. Anywhere in the 120s would be great. I know I have less joint and back issues when I'm under 130. Especially back issues. If I can get down to 129 and never lose another pound afterward it won't bother me at all.

michiganderrdh

I'm 5'2" and at 120. I feel good here and am just trying to maintain now. I think the range of weights in the BMI are really misleading. It says I could weigh 102 pounds and be healthy but I think that's just too small for me and my body frame. Good luck!

Ditto here My smallest ever was 114 and I think I may have been too thin then. I'm happy with 120.

DMJS

I'm 5'2" and 175 on a good day. I was a letter carrier for 20 years and looked my best at 128. I never had to exercise but then I was injured and haven't carried mail for 3 years. I have to say I liked the old me better. My goal is 125 because I know I'll never have the muscle I had as a carrier. Good luck and remember that the BMI and the other BM_ are just guidelines.

odettedancing

Im 5'2 started off at 69kg/151.8 lbs and my goal weight is 57 kg/125.4 lbs see how i go, i think its realistic. I guess I will have to see once I get there how to re-*kitten* my goal whether I want more weight loss or tone up!

CatLadyyy
