5'3 people! What is your UGW?

NicoleSchimmel

My goal is 125, but I would take plus or minus a few!

BarbWhite09

I'm not sure what I want mine to be. Started at 170, at 139 right now. I actually don't see any difference in my body. I've went down 2 pant sizes but STILL the same size in shirts. Ugh.

panicintheattic

It used to be between 100-110, but that's not really taking muscle mass into consideration... the biggest thing is that I want to get rid of my pudgy belly! I'm somewhere around 115-120 right now, but DEFINITELY nowhere near toned looking.

I'm 166 right now and I wear a size 12. I see some of you obviously carry your weight differently than me. I carry a lot of my weigh in my midsection. So, it was 125, but now I'm thinking 115 because I want to get to be around a size 4-6. But, I will be happy at a size 6-8 and won't stress if I can't get down to my UGW.

My UGW is 160 but I'm 193 right now. I'm ready to get out of the 190's group and when I reach that goal. I will consider more. I'm 5'2.

I think age has a lot to do w this question. In my late 20's I thought I was fat at 121 ponds, so I joined weight watchers and lost 11 pounds initially. Then I went through some relationship issues and dropped another 5. I weighed 105 at that point--I looked gaunt! Eventually got to around 115 and held there for awhile. what I've realized now is that for myself at 51, married now with two teenagers, a goal of 130-135 will be more reasonable for me to maintain. I feel good around 140 so that gives me a bit of a cushion and I can live life w/o constantly feeling deprived.

I'm 5"2 and UGW would be 125-130.

PinkAndSparkle

i'm 5'3 and right now I'm around 134. I was 125 for a long time, 117 at the lowest (and like bones), but I have a really large frame and a long history with eating disorders... so now I'm really focusing on my fitness instead of my weight.

margysea

I'm 5'2 and my goal is 135.....have a way to go, about 40 lbs. Good luck all!

TerresaJ

My UGW is 125. I'm there, but toning up still. But, I've had several people say I look unhealthy. I don't think so, except my face is a lot "smaller" than it used to be. I was 125 in my early 20's but no one I know now has really seen me at that weight. BTW...my profile pic was from when I had about 20 more pounds to go, so it's not how I look now.

whiskyzee

I'm 130 and a size 4 now. That was my goal, so now I'm focusing on training and finding my abs. I'm hesitant to keep setting my weight goal lower because I can get obsessive about it and it's just not the most important thing to me. I don't know if working on my core will entail losing more lbs., but if it does, great, if not, it's no big deal. I've certainly hit a plateau at 130.

bringit30

I just want to be in my 130's! I would be happy even if that is 139. It seems like forever away - but I guess I can reevaluate when I get there! I was 135 in my life and looked thin and healthy and I would be happy to be there again!

sunshinethompson

I'm 5'3 and I'm shooting for 160lbs!!!!

amberaz

I am 114 right now, would like to get back down to 111. I know it's not much, but it makes a big difference in how I feel. Cardio isn't helping me lose any more though...it's all strength from here on out.

marigold77

My goal is to be a single digit size -- a size 8. I'm a size 12/14 depending on the brand. I think my bones are mega heavy, so I'm not going by lbs -- just dress size. Good luck!

Yori1

In my 40s, 5'3 UGW 140lbs. Currently at 154lbs and slowing losing my curves - not too happy about that as i'm an hourglass. Lol.
Already my neck is looking too skinny - so not sure, where i'll end up!! :laugh:

lauraOOOO

my lowest ever adult weight was 132....so if I could get there, that would be awesome. Right now I just want to get to 140 and see how I look/feel.

michonw

Ultimate Goal Weight is what I was thinking??

cfiles

I totally agree with you. If I am toned and look good I don't care what my weight says. Its pretty cool we weigh just about the same and are the same height. And I also would be jus estatic to get to 160 but if I got to be a 5/6 like I was when I graduated high school that would be awesome. So what kind of exercise and diet are you doing?

cfiles

I have an ultimate goal SIZE of 6. I used to be a size six 5 years ago and the weight sneaked up on me very slowly... I'm now a 10 (or a 12 depending on the brand, but for this I'm going off my jean size at the Gap) but hoping to be down to 8 by June and to 6 by the end of 2012. I don't care how much I weigh as long as I can be that small again. I think back then I was around 130-135 but I was pretty flabby since I never did any strength training. I lift weights now on top of cardio so I might put on some muscle weight. I'm trying to focus less on the scale and more on my measurements/how clothes fit me.

I've been overweight for so long that I'll be psyched just to get down to 160! I'm 172 now.

The reply I jus wrote was referring to this quote.

jaimealison

I'm 5'2 and naturally really small boned so I'm aiming to maintain between 105-110.

TheFitHooker

About 120

MrsKunz

this site says i should be 96lbs-132lbs wtf! i havent been that small since i was 7 too small for me at 5'1

charlotteandalfie

I'm 115 right now my ugh is 112 lbs not much but that the number I want to get to in order to maintain between 112-115. When I first started at 193 lbs my I've was 125 lbs xx I'm also 5'4

MrsKunz

Hmm thats what i think about alot too i wanna be a 9/10 for me and my figure its cute!! i think!

Frannybobs

Healthy BMI for that height is 114-142 lbs, but I think BMI is highly flawed as takes into account nothing but height.

I got down to a healthy BMI about 5 years ago and 135 lbs was as low as I went which was perfect for me. My goal though is 10 stones (140 lbs) and then see where I'm at and how I'm feeling about it.

Everybody's body is different

Sherrygunnabefit88

my ultimate goal weight is to be anywhere from 110-115, but my goal weight is 120 lbs for now

MPwife10

I am 5'3" and was 150lbs when I met my husband 5 years ago. I think I would be happy at 150lbs but I want to get to 130lbs or 135lbs

same here - i am working towards getting back to a size 6 (when i was a 6 i weighed about 145). it's more about how i look at that size than what i actually weigh bc even though i'm 5'3 i carry weight well (meaning i don't look like i weight as much as i do at the time, which is both a blessing and aggravating bc i dont think about what i weigh)

beccalucy

I initially said 110, but at 112 I doubt I'll be happy there so will most likely stop at around 105.
