The suggested weight for 5'1 female is
101 lbs - 130lbs

2 of my girl friends wear size 0, 2 and they weight around 135 lbs. I thought they are less than 105 lbs. It was a surprise for me
because they look like they are too thin... hardly any fat on.

I could not visual myself get any smaller than 130 lbs or i will ever go down to size 0.
i think i will look real good at 150 lbs.
Here are my questions if you don't mind answer it.
How much do you weight and what pant size do you wear?
or what was the smallest size you wear and how much did you weight
how many lbs you lose to get down to one size?

Me- 175 lbs between size 14-16 lbs. For each 10 lbs, i lose about one size of clothes.

Count down; I will lose additional 22 lbs by xgiving (10 weeks).

I am 5' 3" with a very small frame. I weigh 119 (size 2 or 4), but my goal weight is 110 (size 0 or 2). I have been as low as 102, but that is too hard to maintain. You can calculate your body fram size here:

My very thin friend and I reccently had this discussion while reading women's health. There was a picture of a woman who weighed 145 and wore like a size 4 or 6. I didn't believe it. But then I remembered one key thing- bones.

It's in the bones. My friend wears clothes much larger than I thought she did- but she has a wide bone structure. Her hips won't fit into smaller sizes, it's not that she has fat hips. but that her bones are widely set. I promise. I look tubby and only wear a size larger than her. I am petite and do not have a wide bone structure. Unfortunately I do carry around some fat.

Size of clothing is a hard thing to measure by. At my heaviest ever I weighed in the 180's and wore a 12-14. Now I'm comfortable (working toward loose) in a 10 in most things and I've lost way more than 10 pounds (since my heaviest ever.) ... It's tricky.

I am 5'2" and I weight 144 pounds right now and size 10/12 is loose on me so I think I may be a size smaller now.

The smallest size was a size 0 and I weight about 110 - 115 lbs. So basically it took me 10 pounds to go down 1 size.

Hope this helps:flowerforyou:

im 5'2 im 149lbs right now. I was 170lb. I went from a 10-12 at 170lb to a size 8 now. I cant see me being a 0 or a 2 at my goal of 130lbs ( but those girl friends may be taller than us.)

hiddensecant

I'm 5'1, just under 130 lbs ... and wear a size 5 pants.

It really depends on how you carry your weight and how much muscle you have. If you focus on heavy weight lifting, you're likely to wear smaller sizes at higher weights.

I'm 5'2" 215, and wear an 18, but just fit into them. Or a 16W. I am big boned, so I can't imagine myself in less than a size 10 when I'm down closer to an ideal weight.

Thank you for your input. It helps me to visual/target my goal.
I'm going to target my weight goal at 140 lbs for size 4-6 for now.

I am 5'1" and 103 (was 102) lbs. I wear a size 0. When I was 112-115 I wore a size 1 (snug)

mommared53

I'm 5'3" and am currently 148 pounds and wear a size 10 or 12 depending on the brand. When I started this site I weight 178.8 pounds and was wearing a size 16w-18w. My goal weight is 140. I think I'll be happy at that size. Absolutely no lower than 135; I think I would be way too skinny.

hgirl1021

i'm 5'4" and currently at 130 and newly into size 6. i was 145 busting out of my 8's. At my lowest 105, i was in a size 2. I seem to drop a size with every 10lbs as said earlier as well...

HeatherBurke

I am 5'2" and 161 pounds now and in a size 11 or 13 depending on the brand... When I was my smallest at about 130-135 I was in a size 5ish... I want to get back to about 140-145 and be comfortable in my 9/10's... I have wider hips and a booty and a large chest so being too small looks funny on me. 15 to 20 pounds and I can't seem to do it!! It's killing me!

incircles_lp2

I am 5' 5'' and 165 lbs (on a good day). I wear a size 8. Sometimes I have to wear a 10 depending on the brand.

I am a very heavy built person, but I wear such a small size due to the fact that I bike ALOT. I was biking 10-15 miles a day on average during last school year. I dropped pant sizes like crazy from biking. Give it a go!

My goal weight is 135lbs. My goal pant size is a 6.

Hope this helps.

I'm almost 5 feet and weigh 120. I have a small frame. Sizes for me vary a lot, but jean sizes are usually similar. I'm like a size 2 or 4 in jeans, depending on the brand and stretch and cut of jean. However, I probably wear a size 8-10 if you're talking dress size. I've got a big bust yet small hips >_<. I remember when I was 135 for a brief period of time had to move up a size. However, now being 120 I went back to my normal size, actually I probably went down half a size because of exercise and diet change.

For someone so short I would think that you should go down to 130 unless you have a really large bone structure. I wouldn't be so concerned about size, just measurements, especially in the waist area. The cut of clothing will change what size you would wear dramatically and designers all assign different sizes tailored to their target customers. Excess fat in the tummy area though spells big trouble for the future health wise.

I am 136 lbs and i wear a size 8, sometimes i can wear a size 10, it depends on the brand of jeans, when i weighted 112lbs i wore a size two...i think it depends on where you carry your weight...mines mostly in my butt and legs...and a little belly...

Demetria

wow, the total weights and different sizes is pretty fascinating.

I am only 4ft 11in. I think I have a medium frame and I carry most of my fat in my rear and thighs the lowest I have weighed is 102lbs and wore a size 4 or 5 (34in hips), my most recent weight gain put me at 166lbs in a size16 loose, so far I have lost 19.5lbs, down to 146.5lbs and wearing size14 loose or size12 snug.

Just goes to show that everyone is different in every which way, so go with what feels good to you, don't try to fit into some preconceived notion of what you think you should be at.

TWIN!!!:smooched: :smooched:

How much do you weight and what pant size do you wear? 135. size 8 petite

What was the smallest size you wear and how much did you weigh? I was 105 and size 3 when I was a teen. I am a 48 yr old woman now who wants muscle~!

how many lbs you lose to get down to one size? that depends on if you are exercising!! I had to wait 15 pounds to go down the 1st size when I went from 170 to 155......Of course I was forcing my booty into the 14s and really should have been in 16s....

When I got to the 12s I was getting much more fit and almost bypassed the 10s altogether! I bought some new clothes and whoosh........I was down another size!

I think strength training helped to tighten my body. I have had comments on my continued weight loss....but have only lost around 3 pounds in 6 months......but I went down a full size. I am I have muscles, my abs are starting to tighten up.

I like the 135 range, but now I want to be more lean...so we shall see:happy:

I am SO happy at my weight!! It is realistic for me because of my age. I need some fat under the skin to fill in my wrinkles

:blushing: I wont buy the pants if they dont fit in 8p
(how embarrasing.......I just cant do it!)

Demetria

what sucks for us short/petite women is we have less surface area (skin). Tall people have more surface area and thus higher metabolisms. Can't remember where I learned that bit of info. If I am wrong on that please correct me and tell me how.:blushing:

I am just under 5'6" and weight 140 lbs. My highest weight was 160 lbs. I was wearing a size 11 or 12. Now I wear a size 9 or 10. But with Gap jeans I wear a size 6 since their sizes are so huge. I want to get down to between 130-135 lbs. I think at 125 lbs I would be too thin since I'm older now... 34 years old. Don't want too many wrinkles! lol.

oh whoops. I hope its okay I replied. I just realized this was for short/petite women...

i am 5'3 and weigh 187 and wear a size 14/16. I would like to be at a comfortable size 10/12 hopefully that will be in the 140-145 range. I've always done some kind of workout 1-2 times a week for the past year, so I think part of my weight is muscle.

Veronica320

For me.....and it really depends on where I shop
Old Navy: Size 1/2
Aeropostal: Size 7/8
American Eagel: Size 8
Nordstrom Dress Size: 10

Not to mention longer legs in general. I'm just stuck with an abnormally long torso.
