    I'm 5ft1 and around 128. If I lost five more pounds I'd be thrilled. I eat 1520 cal a day and try to get to the gym five days a week. I'm kinda holding steady at 128 however. That's ok too if that's meant to be for me.

    I'm 5'1 and currently 118. I started at 120 and lost 2lbs since Feb using MFP. I'm trying to get to 115 so I eat 1200 cal a day.

    I'm 5'2 and I started at 121 pounds. My original goal weight was 110. My goal now is to have defined arms, back, abs, and quads, and to have a body fat percentage of at least 14%. I currently weigh 105.6 lbs.

    I'm 5'4" (er...5'3"-something...161cm...whatever that is in inches), and will stop trying to lose weight once I feel I look good.

    There's a part of me that wants to get back to my pre-IR weight of 97lbs. As much as I intellectually prefer to be under 100lbs, I felt I looked better at around 110lbs.

    I'm 5' 1/2" and I am a curvy girl currently weighing in at 175lbs down 13lbs so far since I started in Jan of this year. My currently calorie allowance is 1310/day.

    I think that I looked the best at 140lbs (which is my goal weight) but now i'm concerned because all the rest of you are taller and think you should be skinnier than that. Am I skewed in what a healthy weight for my height is??

    I'm 5'2" and recently was about 122 lbs. Currently I am 116 and eating 1200 cals but will be increasing it soon as I am easing into maintenance. I try to exercise 4-6 days a week and I eat my exercise cals back.

    Don't even give it a second thought. It's all so personal. I bet you look fabulous now, and will look just as good at whatever weight you decide you want to be.

    Life would be really boring if everyone's bodies were the same silhouette. I find many curvier women to be really attractive, and wish I could be confident enough to buck the social pressure to be slim.

    I am 5'2", 47 years old, and I was 135 when started getting serious on MFP in late January. I am presently 128 {held the same from last week:grumble: } and 1st goal is 120, then 115. Any lower I start looking emaciated. I just wish it would come off faster!:tongue: I eat 1200 when I do not work out {but sooo hungry!} and 1400 when I do workout and on "spike days" up to about 1700. I have just started Supreme 90...we'll see what happens!:drinker:


    I wish you all THE VERY BEST at all you put your hands to!!:drinker:

    I am 5'2" and 120 and if I can get 5lbs off i would be thrilled but my ultimate goal weight was 110 when i first started here. Now I would be really happy with the 115. :) I normally eat 1400 calories a day if not more with working out.

    I'm 5'1.5".

    I'm currently at 122.8 on my way down to 114.

    I am eating 1490 calories a day. More if I exercise copiously.

    I *was* eating 1200, bumped it up to 1300 and got stuck at 125.

    The instant I upped my calorie intake I lost 2lbs. So I'm staying in the 1400-1500 range until losses stop again. Hopefully they won't until I reach my goal :)

    I'm 27, 5'2" and currently weigh 143lbs, but I just honestly can't picture myself being in the 120lb mark! I'm trying to lose weight but gain a good amount of muscle too; I'll be happy if I can make it to 130-133lbs.

    I am 29, 126 pounds and I want to be down around 115 but will decide to when to stop based on how I look. I am eating around 1200 a day and I always have one or two days when I go over on the weekend. I don't eat back my excersize calories because I figure my weekend indiscretions and my workout calories balcance each other out. I have been losing 1 pd consistently each week and focusing on strength training. I forgot to mention I am 5'2"

    5'1'' and currently hovering around 120-125 depending on the day.

    I try to stay at 1600 with working out 5 days a week. 3 lift days and 2 cardio days. If I eat above 1600 on lift days that's fine with me.

    I don't care to lose any weight on the scale per say, so I'm fine with my number. I just want to gain more muscle or lose more fat, whichever or both haha.

    I am 5'1" and about 125. I would love to be at 115, but age is not my friend right now. So, if I can get back to 120 I would be happy.

    5'2, currently 126lbs aiming for 110-115lbs or 18%BF, which might end up being at a higher weight. I currently eat 12,000 calories per week, averaging about 1,700 per day. I do Crossfit 4-5x per week, strength at the gym 3 times a week, and cycle to and from work (1 hour total) 2-3 times per week.
