goal weight

skinnyminniexx

hey guys! i'm 5'2" and my goal weight is 115-120 lbs. this is a little high i think but i'm very muscular. i'm a competitive ice skater and have been for 10 years, so i have built up my muscles. and since muscle weighs more than fat, i think this is a good goal weight for me.

what's your goal weight?

The debate on whether muscle weighs more than fat continues....lol

I'm 4'11 my original goal weight was 110-115. Once I reach 115, I decided to go ahead for 110. I have reached 110 and I think it looks good on me. Tweaking a few things but I think I can stay in the 110-115 range.

I'm 5' even. When I first started here, my goal was just to hit 150. Once I hit that, I bumped it down to 140, then 130. I'm now resting at 127ish and decided I'll try for 120. I'm kinda stuck in the high 120's right now (I've lost my motivation so I'm not eating right). I know I'll get there though.

I am 5ft 1 3/4 in (Gotta get every little percent of an inch in there!). Currently weigh 130. Would like to get back to 125, where I was a few months ago. I'm not sure how much lower than that I would go. When I was in my 20s I was hanging around 117ish, but I'm not sure that's realistic anymore for me. I do have a muscular frame and I'm fine iwth that. Just trying to make sure that people can tell it's Muscle, not Fat.

My initial goal weight is 115-110. I'm at 119 right now and will decide when I get to 115 if I want to go further. A part of me thinks so but then... I may lose even more weight in places I don't want to lose! lol

I'm 4'11" and my goal weight was 115. I have a larger chest and hips, so wanted to retain curves looking healthy. Now I'm playing around with somewhere between 110-115. I'm 112 right now, and still toning. This 5 lb range may be perfect though.

I'd like to ultimately be between 110 and 115. I've been at 120 before and really wanted to lose five more pounds but lost my motivation (and then gained all my weight back /cry).

I've never been lower than 120 so I'll have to evaluate how I'm feeling/looking once I get below that point.

I am 5'2 1/2 and my goal weight as of right now is 120, though that could change as I get closer to my goal. I am medium boned, so that should look ok on me! :bigsmile:

I'm 5'0, currently 141 pounds with a dream goal of 120...but I don't know if I'll get there. I do have a fair amount of muscle and I do hope to tone up so I might only get to 130 with the difference of added muscle. Basically if I can't get down to 120 pounds there better be a difference in inches at least.

futiledevices

I'm 5'1" and I'm at 143 right now. I want to get down to 120 and see how that looks. I think that'll be it.. I have a large chest and large hips.

badtheory

I'm 5'2", currently about 99lb. I think i looked better when I was around 106lb. right now i'm trying to figure out how i could put on a few lbs in a healthy way, and how to be psychologically prepared for that. in the past, i've only ever lost weight, so it's pretty scary to imagine gaining weight.

I'm 5'2 as well and my goal is 110 lbs. Although, before, it was all about my diet - I just wanted to lose the weight. But now, since I'm not seeing that much of a difference even though I've lost 7 kg, I've decided to start strength training again in order to tone my body, so I guess I'll put on a few pounds of muscles soon so I'm not sure whether to keep my goal at 110 or to raise it a little

bluegirl10

I'm 5'2 and my goal is 115 - 120.... That was where I was before and I was happy there, but could have been more toned. So this time once I get close to my goal I will really focus on toning up.

Gosh I feel fat reading all your post...I am 5' 1" and 167 lbs now but was 189 at my worst, I want to be 123lbs and I thought that was low for my height....I got to 159 this summer but gained again....I would feel awesome to be just 150 haha for now anyway...I don't feel like I eat a lot I wish I knew what was my issue...

0SimplymeStacyLea0

I'm 5'2 and my goal weight is 125-130. I remember being 105 when I was younger and couldn't ever imagine myself being that small again. If and when I reach 130 and feel good, I'll probably just maintain that weight.

I'm 5 3 and my goal weight is 125, but that is a guess at this point! I've been overweight for so long I've no idea how I'll look/feel down at that weight so we shall see

I am currently 153 and started at 171, so you are by no means "abnormally large" in this group x

Shellitz

I am aiming for around 55kg (120 pounds). I have been stuck at the 60kg barrier for a while now - but this morning I finally dipped under it by 0.2. I won't record this as a weigh in until I see it on the scale for more than one day.

Here's hoping it wasn't just a empty eating day (was feeling a bit off last night and appetite wasn't great...BUT I still ate lunch and dinner before going to bed so time will tell.

59.8...please please please stick around!

My ideal weight is about 120. I'm 5'2 and I have a long way to go. Good luck on all your journeys. I know we can all succeed!!

Nikstergirl

I'm 5'2" and started at my highest of 182. Currently 128.4, and my goal is 127!!! So close I can FEEL it!!!! I had originally set my goal at 140, then figured why not try 135, 130, and now 127. I have a medium frame, which is toning up nicely and I'm actually smaller than I was back in high school when I weighed about 120 or so. My hope is to stay at or just under 130 which is a healthy weight for me, but I'm also hoping to run my first marathon next year so I've been warned by people who know about these things to have a minimum set for my weight so I don't lose all my strength!!! I think in my head I'll put my minimum as somewhere between 120-125, but I'll have to see it on my body before I decide. I want the stamina to finish that race!!!!

For now, goal weight is 127.. and I feel GREAT!

Strength train. If you build muscle you will be able to gain some weight and still be in good shape. A pound of muscle takes up less volume than a pound of fat, so anything you can do to add muscle would be good. You may even be able to get up to 106 that way. Increase your protein intake and add weights to build up the muscle.

I'm 5'2" with a goal of 120, though I may reevaluate once I get there...if that ever happens lol!

dlaporta

I am 5'3" and my goal weight is 136-137. I will be doing cardio and P90X to lose the fat. Glad I found this group to keep me motivated!

mittencat77

thanks for this group. It is fantastic! I am 4'11 and currently 96 lbs.I want to be 92. I know that might sound low but as you know a couple of pounds makes big difference when you are this short. I am small boned and I have read that this is fine for my height. The one thing I wonder about is how many calories someone our height should take in? I have seen many people at 1200 who are much taller. Is it less for us?

swedishwillow

WOW I think I am the largest woman in this group!
Im 5'1 and have just under 70lbs to lose!
Gonna rock it, at least I found a group that I can relate to in height

shanalivee

Ryhenblue

I'm 5'2" and I started out at 190lbs and am currently 140lbs. I'd love to get down to 115lbs, but right now my goal is 125lbs.

granolagrl85

Well, I am the shortest and fatteset I guess. I am 4'10 and my starting weight was 205, lost 5lbs before MFP and now I'm 190 in one month.

granolagrl85

Guess I should add my goal weight...it's 100lbs. I can't go less than that because I have huge boobs...even when I was previously 100lbs.

nixirain

rockstarginaa
