Hi i'm 5ft 2", currently 137lbs, at my smallest I was 120lbs (and pretty happyish with where I was)

I've set my self small goals so it goesn't seem so daunting:
So my first goal is to get to 126lbs.
Then to get back to 120lbs.
But my ultimate goal is 112 - 115 lbs but more importantly to stay there.

I used to be 158lbs some years ago and have slowly gone down (and back up a bit lol) over several years.
This time, i'm determinded to get to goal and STAY there :-)

Feel free to add me, its great having friends for motivation supoort etc. x

whoever lost all that weight did a fantastic job !!! congratulations. i am 5'4" and i don't want to talk about my weight.

So, I am 5'1.5" and am at 144 ISH. I have been bouncing around this weight for about 3 years. However, i am a size 8 to 10 in jeans. I do kung fu and elliptical for exercise around 4 times a week, more if I am good. I have large quads and muscular booty due to the martial arts. Lots of low squat like workouts, horse stance and kicking. My entire body is more muscular than it has ever been and to compare this: After my second child I lost weight thru aerobics/cardio and watching what I eat and I was same size at 137 lbs. So my goal is to be around 135 and see what my stomach and thighs look like then. My waist is about 32 inches and hips are 38 inches, same as bust. I really want my stomach to be smaller and less flabby, which may not be possible after three children. Hope this helps.

I'm 5'1, am currently 128, with the goal of 121-123!

I'm 5'2 or 5'3 (in between) and I'm 22 years old

My GW is 116. I currently weight 135 and I don't feel good with my weight yet.

However, If I weight 125 (or so) and look toned, I'll stop there.

The number of the scale is a reference. When you look at yourself in the mirror and say "This is it! I would like to stay like this" I think that's where you should stop, even though you are still 10 or so pounds "over" your goal weight.

I'm 5'2 and currently 169. My goal weight is 132, but I have an ugw of 124-118.

I'm turning 40 in July, so I honestly don't know if 118 is doable. The lowest I was in high school was 124 and I looked good but not toned---but we're talking 25 years ago.

I'm an apple shape, so once I get to my goal weight, I think I will get more serious about weightlifting ( I do some now, but no big program) and see what happens. Once I'm in a healthy BMI range, I'm going to try and back off the scale and just be healthy and strong.

I think it all just depends on your personal body type. I've got boobs and hips, so I think me at 120 pounds would look WAY too small, even though I'm only 5'2''.

Here is my before and during...



At my current weight (actually 145 now) I am in mostly size 6s and some 8s. My goal is to get to 135-130, because I think that would take me to a size 4 which is about as small as I think I'd want to be. Some girls could be 145 and in a 4, some would be a 10. It just depends on build.

I currently weigh 155 and my goal weight is 135. I wear a size 10, but it's a bit snug. I would be totally happy to wear a size 6/8 for the rest of my life!

MelissaGetsHealthy

Hey ya'll I'm another 5`2" lady starting at 150, I've been wondering what my UGW should be and I thought 115 was too little, but after reading these posts I think I'll have a range for my UGW just incase I find out that 125 or whatever it is thats my perfect size in terms of my body measurements! Thanks everyone and keep up the good work :]

kjerkins1980

I am 5ft 2 inches and am working to lose down to around 125lbs. I think I will feel a lot better about myself. After having 2 children I have had a hard time losing the weight afterwards and I think I just got "comfortable" but I have decided to make a change for the better and start being healthier about my food choices. Also, I want to add a good exercise routine in my life but it is hard working full time and having 2 children. Any advice would be appreciated! After hearing a lot of success stories I joined myfitnesspal this week and I am staying positive and really striving towards a healthier weight.

JustJennie1

I'm 5'2" and 117lbs and I want to get down to between 108 and 110 (probably will end up at 110lbs. 108 might not be attainable). I've weighed 110 so I know that for my body type it's not too thin. Plus I plan on being a very lean and muscular 110.

kcorcoran4

I'm 33...5'1 and currently 193....like some others...most people would be really surprised at how much i really weigh. I've got the T n A and postpartum hips--that probably balances some of the extra weight out.

My current goal is 140..some people might think that's too much weight for my height..but when I was around 110-115, people told me I looked unhealthy. I've had a baby, and haevn't been a healthy weight since, so I'll see what my body looks like at 140 and go from there.

One of these days when I get enough courage I'll post a before picture..and hope to do an after picture in a few months!

sobit1970

I'm 42 years old, 5'2" and 225 pounds at present. My goal is to get to 140 pounds but i would be happy at 150. I agree with kcorcoran4, I know I won't get down to the unrealistic goal of 117 lbs like some sites tell me is my healthy range. I felt good when I was 140 lbs. I feel better and better every day eating healthy and slowly losing weight. Wish I could wave a wand and have it all disappear! LOL

sobit1970

@ kgchisholm congratulations! you look good even at the weight you are now. Good luck!

amorvincit105

I am 5' 1 1/2! lol. I weigh 215 (YIKES). I gained about 80 pounds in one year six years ago and havent been able to lose it. Before I Gained the weight I was 127.. I was still a size nine though because I was not toned at all. I want to tone up whille i lose weight so i think 130 will be a good weight because of the building muscle at the same time

noctilumina

I'm 5'2.5". I entered my goal as 123 because I had to enter something, and because, y'know, 1-2-3 is as easy as A-B-C...:laugh:

I weigh 170 and I have been quite sedentary for a long time, so I'm sure a frightening percentage of that is fat. I'm trying not to focus too much on any numbers (weight, body fat percentage, dress size). If I feel stronger and healthier than I did the week before, then I've met my goal.

I really have no idea what I'd like my weight to be. Maybe 140, maybe 120. I'm hoping I'll know it when I meet it!
