Okay, so I am super short at 4'11" (just couldn't hit that 5ft mark!). I am also super curvy and weigh in at about 150lbs. Once upon a time I was 120lbs and that is where I am trying to get back to... well 120-125lbs. I remember reading a while back how a girl that is 4'11" should be between 100-110lbs and that just seems absurd for my body type! Soooo, other short girls, what weight are you shooting for? What weight do you think is healthy for girls our height?

    I like to say 5ft - my Husband insists I'm 4ft 11.5, and he's right :)

    I'm currently 176 - can't remember the last time I was under 140, so aiming for 133 first and then seing what I can do after that.

    Good luck :)

    I plugged your info into the BMR calculator and according to it your healthy weight is 92-123 pounds so there's a general idea.

    Edit: Either 92 or 96.. now I can't remember.

    5'0 here!
    Started at 170. Currently 111 and shooting for 105 first. Then I'll probably wanna go down to 100.
    Given our size, it's not unreasonable at all to go as low as 95. In the end, it's all about where you feel comfortable :)

    5'
    160 SW
    headed down to 120


    You have to take in to account your muscle mass as well as your frame size. At 120 I wore a size 3 and at 160 I wear a 12. I have a larger frame with barrel chest and broad shoulders. Try finding a site and checking your wrist size with the charts to see what might be a better fit for you personally.

    Yea, I think I could probably get down to 115lb and be okay but with my frame I really don't think being 100lb will look good on me. We will see how I feel when I get down to 120lb :)

    Yea, I have read that at this height even 95lbs is reasonable. It isn't reasonable for me because I don't think I would look good at that weight!

    I am 4'11 issh too! It is extremely difficult to be thin for me to because I am naturally curvy. I've been stuck at 110lbs for almost 3 years now but I look like I wiegh 120 because of my build. My current goal is 103lbs and it has been extremely difficult to reach. Ive managed to drop down to 107 but it took almost 2 months. Its not an easy path!

    I'm 4'11 and currently at 109...working back down to 105 (my summer weight). :) I think a lot depends on your frame.

    I'm 4'11. I started out at 190 and I'm trying to get down to 120. I've never been that small, the smallest I ever got down to was 150 and I thought I was awesome! I just can't imagine myself getting to 120 or lower since I've never been there. I also have really broad shoulders, so I wonder if I actually CAN get small.

    I'm 4'11 and a half. I count that half! I swore I was 5' my entire life, but....a recent measure just proved me wrong. :(

    I would love to get back down to 100 lbs, but I was skinny fat back then, so...I'm guessing around 100-110...I'll figure it out once I get there. :)

    I'm 5'0 and never been less than 110 in my adult life (and that's with HARD work!). Generally I'm between 120-130, but I like being 115 and my goal is 110, but honestly I just want to lose the body fat

    Hehehe... I weighed 97lbs most of my adult life. (I'm 5'4".) I used to say that I didn't want to weight over 100 lbs because then, if someone asked my weight, I'd have to begin my answer with "one hundred". It was a joke...kind of. ;-)

    In my 30s I gained a little weight, and felt I looked better at 110 lbs, than 97.

    It's all so personal, though.
