I was a little discouraged at first glance of all you gals in the same height range....and wasn't going to post. But after reading through, and discovering we are all at different ranges/goals -I decided to post... And also 'cause the OLD me would shy away from that! I may never be a "petite'" gal- but I will be healthy and strong!0 -

GW: 120 or so (?? - TBD)
I recently became a vegan at about the time I joined this site. I find that the weight comes off fastest when I eat more fresh veggies and fruits/ salads and avoid alcohol. It's all about the calories though.
I work out to Kathy Smith's Project You DVD's at least 5 days/week. I do at least 30 minutes of a cardio set (pretty intense) and most days add another 30 minutes of a strength training set. I love her and highly recommend her stuff. You really feel like you worked out when you're done and it's worth the effort. RESULTS are seen pretty quickly!!!
It's really refreshing to see so many petite gals with goals around the 120's +. It's realistic and healthy.0 -

GW: 125-130 (hopefully by this july!) though I have mahusive ribs that stick out (always have) so I might have to see how it goes as they might look horrid if I get too tiny!
I eat 1200 cals during weekdays and probably the same if not less on Saturdays and probably a lot more on Sundays! (I don't diary log on the weekends!)
I play netball 2 times a week totalling 3 hours at around 450 cals burnt per hour and don't eat back my exersize cals if I can help it.. (it makes me feel less guilty at the weekend!)
I'm joining the gym next month to start focusing on toning up in the hope my bikini body might appear quicker!
Feel free to add me, I could do with some friends on here!0 -
Hi,
Age: 38
Height:; 5'2
SW: 230
CW: 222
GW: 160 (this leaves me in a loose fitting large... and at a weight my doctor approves of. Sounds heavy but it's my shape!)
I started in February 2012. I usually stay at or just under the 1,200 calories. I belly dance for an hour 4 days a week and have added additional activity such as walking or a cardio dvd to get my metabolism moving! I'm going to be participating in a Dragong Boat race in July and want to be ready! I am a compulsive overeater so MFP really helps me keep track of what goes in my mouth!0 -
5'1". I try to do cardio at least 3 days a week.. After losing 149 pounds I can only eat 1400 cal a day or I gain so I don't eat back my exercise calories. My wt hsd been stable between 125 and 130 for over a year.0

5' 0" to 5' 3" are the sexiest women. Keep up the good work ladies!0

CW 148
GW 135
I try to walk briskly every day for half an hour and Im happy if i make it for 5 out of the 7 days in the week. I usually do eat my exercise calories. I have a fitbit that I linked up to the MFP website so it does all the calculations for me.
If anyone wants to add me as a friend feel free. I like to see how others around my height are doing.0 -

25 years old
start: 125 (highest ever)
current: 120.4
goal: 110 (possibly 105 not sure if that's too little)
calories: 1200, I typically do not eat my exercise calories back because usually I'm not hungry. If I'm still hungry I'll eat more.
exercise: run 5k 3x week and a situp program on my phone0 -

SW not telling
GW 140
even though mfp has me at 1200 I changed it 1280. I workout six days per week and eat some of my exercise calories back.0 -
I'm 5'2.5" and weigh 220 right now... I've got a long road ahead.
The smallest I've been as an adult was 110 lbs.
My goal weight is 130.. no less.
I'm built a little different than most girls, I think - even when I was 110 lbs I had trouble finding boots that would fit over my calves (haha, yeah, it sucks) - so when I'm 130, I probably look like I'm 115. I don't know if that makes sense or not. My shape is super curvy with a tiny stomach and thick wrists.. so honestly, anything under 130 is a little too tiny for my structure - I looked sick at 110, and fit a size 4 at 130.
*sigh* but yeah... it's going to be a long road0 -
HI!
I'm 32 and 5'2 1/2"

CW 212.6
GW 140-135
I eat between 1300-1500 calories/day. Depending on how hungry I am I might eat back my exercise calories. I workout 2x per week doing Zumba, but my goal is to increase to 3-4x/wk and add strength training.0 -
oh, yeah, and I eat around 1300 cals, lightly exercise (I need to work on that), and generally losing at least 2 lbs a week if I stick to it. I don't like to eat back my calories, but if I've burned 800 + in a day, I'm too hungry not to eat back half. *shrugs*0

Age: 21
Height: 5'3"
Starting Weight: 124.4
Current Weight: 113.8
Goal Weight: 104-ish
Calories: 1200/day
Exercise: I really don't do much exercise besides taking our dogs for daily 1/2 hour or 45 mins walks. And playing volleyball for 1.5 hours once a week. Also, I eat about 70% of my work out cals back.
a goal of weighing 104lbs is REALLY low = 7st 6lb = underweight bmi
Please be carefull you are already slim (124lb = 8st 8b ie PERFECT / VERY slimweight)
I was thinking the same thing tbh.. You're the same age/height as me and although I have a curvy figure I'm already starting to fit in to my size 10 (uk) clothes again at 144lbs.. There's a lot of pressure for girls our age to be thin but try not to overdo it.. I'm sure you had a body to die for at your starting weight. Ask other people's opinions of you that you know irl (and listen to them).
Take note of your BMI above x0 -

I have my calorie goal set at 1200. Sometimes that's fine, but sometimes I'm way hungry, craving (delicious) high calorie foods, and that's an impossible number. I ride my bike to work and go to the gym about five days a week, during which time I usually burn at least 500 calories. I don't always eat back my calories burned. I've been in chillin in this 140-150 range for nearly a yeary weight loss is coming off veeerrrryyyy slooooooowly. But I know I could be doing more as far as self control goes for my eating habits.
I'm not sure what my goal weight should be. I've been heavy all my life so I don't know what my healthy adult weight is. According to my wrist measurement, I have a large build, so I'm thinking I should be on the larger end of my weight range. I also have some extra skin from losing so much weight--I'm not sure how much, but it could be a few pounds so I don't know if I should take that into account when I figure out what weight I should be.0 -

SW 200 plus (don't want to know the correct number)
CW 146.5
GW 130 - 135 ish
I will be 30 this year. I eat 1200 to 1400 calories a day I try not to eat back exercise calories unless I dip way below 1200. I have been hanging out in the 146 - 151 range about 2 mos now, I see loss so I am just slowly doing my thing!
I have a large line backer type build and any smaller and I look sickly. I want to be smack dab in the middle for bmi. I have been dieting since last July. I work out 30 minutes to 120 minutes 4 to 6 days a week. I have a toddler so I fit in what I can when I can. I do the zumba videos and I have an at home elliptical.0 -

I am set at 1200 cal and I usually eat my exercise calories back, unless I have a huge amount in one day and am not hungry. I was usually 135 at my "normal" weight in high school and pre-kids, but I have proven that it wasn't my "healthy" weight. My ultimate goal used to be 130 and now it is 110.0 -
Im 5 ft 3 almost 5 ft 4,
I weigh over 160 pounds.
I always look 10 pounds lighter, due to muscle and body composition but my goal is 135 for life.
Or less would be great but hard to maintain.0 -
5'2"
Started at 207 Dec 1, which was my heaviest weight ever. I have a very heavy build, so my goal weight is 155. In college, before having six kids, I was 140 and a six 6. I had 17% body fat at that weight. So a heavier weight is fine for me.
I am planning on a breast reduction this summer, so that may drop my goal weight (once they tell me how much I lose that way).
I get 1385 calories per day. Work out 3-4 times a week, plus have a very active job (RN in the ER) and am busy running after kids. I eat some of my exercise calories, but not all.

I started working out with Turbo Fire last Tuesday and its kicking my butt. Its good though. I enjoy it. I think it will be better once I learn all the moves so it flows better. I eat between 1400-1700 calories a day. I try to stay as clean as possible. I only drink water now. I get about 100-130 oz a day. I want to look good this summer in my clothes and be comfortable. Good luck to all.0 -

217lbs was the heaviest i've ever been. Was 161lbs when i conceived my son Jan 2010, gained 42lbs during my pregnancy (son was born October 2010), and an extra 14lbs when i started birth control. In total 56lbs in one year :-S eeeekkk!! On the road to be back to my ideal of 112lbs got another 100lbs to go!!
My calorie target is 1500 calories a day but i tend to be around the 1300-1400 mark
I started exercising 60 minutes (max) 5 x a week
Fingers crossed 2012 is more successful then 2011, lol0
