ladies 5'0 what is or was your goal?

blwalton70

5 foot exactly

My weight is pretty distributed evenly. I used to have a great rear end, but after 2 kids, it's gone and moved to the front! I am an athletic build (soccer player for 19 years and counting) I am stalky but fit.

Weight when I had my daughter in 2010: 208 pounds

I weighed 135 in high school (over 10 years ago) So I am hoping to get back there because I know I have been that weight before.

Hi!!!

5'0 here.

SW: 228

CW: 146

GW: 115-120

I always thought that I would be right where I wanted when I hit 150, not the case at all. I haven't worked this hard to still be chubby!

TOTALLY! I just hit 150 (28 pounds lost) and I still don't feel thin enough!

dorilou1969

5 feet 0 inches

heaviest weight was 202
current is 150
my goal for right now is 135
I will probably set another goal after that, depending on lots of things.
I carry my weight in my belly, and my face.

the "charts" say I should weight between 94 and 127 pounds. I can't fathom being an adult under 100 pounds!!!

Take a look at this website: http://www.mybodygallery.com/

It has a lot of images that people have uploaded with specific height, weight, and body type (perhaps think about contributing!)

SW:180
cw: 166 or 168
GW: 108-120.

I have a goal weight range because I was really fit and had toned muscles when i was between 108 and 112 lbs. When I was 120, I liked my body and my curves, but still could have used some muscle definition...I was doing a lot of cardio and calisthenics at the time, but not enough to have visible abs, or "spaghetti strap dress" arms.

I say my goal is to get to 120, and then feel it out from there as I lose more towards the 108 goal. I would say 127 was the highest weight I remember feeling still comfy in my clothes.

If you are doing weight lifting, just know that you could be 130 and have a thinner body than someone who is 120 and the same height. That muscle, as I am sure you know, is much more dense and weighs more and takes up less space than fat.

OH, btw, I am small to medium framed. My wrists are small, my bottom half (butt, thighs, knees, calves, and even my feet) is bigger. So, a healthy weight range for my height and frame is supposedly like 98 lbs up to 130. 131 for me puts me in the overweight BMI range. (98 lbs to me seems way too little of a number for my body. I would look ill.)

Hope that helps a little! it is cool seeing all of us shorties and our weights and goals!

I just started back on this journey after recently moving to Japan (military). I have been this weight since after I lost 35 lbs after having my son who is now almost 3. So i'm prepregnancy weight but i want to be closer to what I was when i first came in the military 15 years ago.

Always nice to have friends and further encouragement- add me!

Janelle173

I added pics of myself at different weights, with the weights listed, on my profile if you want to see what I looked like at different weights (height-5'.25", small-medium build). Again, I think that we all are going to find a possibly different comfy resting weight to be at. But, it is interesting to look back at my pics and see myself at different weights. I wonder what we all have looked like at different weights in our lives! lol

BeachSlim

I'm 5'1" and started at 152lbs in January this year. My UGW is 112lbs and I'm currently 118lbs so not far off! However, I feel like I need to lose more than 6lbs to get rid of the fat from my tummy. I want to build muscle though so don't actually mind what the scale says as long as my BFP is low and I look good.

Good luck!

I'm aiming for 118. As I get closer to that weight I'll know where to stop...

Hi all! I'm 5'1 and have an evenly distributed body with a curvy frame. My SW: 165, my CW: 139, my GW: 125-130

Goodluck with your goals, feel free to add me

I am 5' (almost) and have a very stocky/athletic build. I will never be what a person calls petite (read: thin/skinny). I have lost 141 pounds over the past 2 1/2 years. It was a long journey but well worth taking the time. I weigh 116 pounds and being 50 years old, that's not too bad. My SW:255. I am content.

msrootitooti

I am 5'0 with a goal weight of 115.. I have been content at 120. Right now I am at 131 and started at 143.

Add me if you would like. Being petite has its own struggles!

katztwins

I too am petite. I am lets say 5 feet just barley and have a tiny frame but have hips and a tush and that is where I tend to carry my weight. Most people would look at me and say i dont need to loose weight but I am good at hiding it with the way I dress.
I am starting at 115 and trying to get back to around 100 pounds. Just turned 40 a few weeks ago and everyone says your metabolism slows down. I have noticed that it takes longer to get my heart rate up and burn the same amount it used to but it could be also that the weather just turned cold.

As i thin out my hips become less noticeable as does my twin skin from having my girls 8 years ago. I am active and tend to eat healthy but let the good life get to me. My goal now is to loose the weight no matter what it takes.
My best weight was when i got married 13years ago and then i was 98 pounds but that was a lifetime ago. I would be happy at 100 again. Add me if you want to talk struggles of petite women.

Truthfully, I haven't been in ONEderland for years, so that is my goal right now.

Please feel free to add me, I've only been on MFP for about four weeks, but I log every day, and would love to share and offer encouragement.

my last doc wanted me to be 117 but when I was in my early 30s that was a struggle. I could do 121 when I was 31 and I didnt look emaciated. I have curvy but slightly bottom heavy weight when I'm lower weight. I'm 52 & goal is to hit <130 before menopause sets in fully.

I'm 4'11" on a good day. I've been every weight from 90 lbs to 135. I'm top heavy, and have hips, and muscular legs (was a cross country runner in high school).

SW: 117
GW: 95

Seems drastic, but I'm really short and have a small frame. Also, if I can fit comfortably in my "skinny jeans" and weigh 120, because it's all muscle, that's ok. It's really more about appearance and health than a number.

entonline

I'm 4'11" and for the healthier part of my adult life when my metabolism worked without me working, I was a muscular 116-118 lbs; my SW when I joined MFP roughly 1.5 months ago was 146, my CW is 133, my GW is 120, and my UGW is to see that 116 again. I can't imagine going lower than that simply because I do have a naturally muscular build with hips, thick legs and booty lol. I haven't done any particular workout plan, just followed a 1200c/day diet, worked out 6 days a week (3-4 days cardio, 2-3 days strength), watched my sugar intake (no more than 30g a day), and made sure to drink a minimum of a gallon of water daily. I feel like I've hit a bit of a plateau, so I'm going to give the 30DS and C25K a shot just to vary my routine and see if I notice any difference in the lb/inch loss.

I think that if I don't get to the 116 then I'll still be ok as long as I look and feel comfy in my clothes and have the toned look that I want. But know this: whatever your goal is, YOU CAN DO IT! I've seen wayyyyyyyyyyy too many success stories on this site NOT to believe that!!!! Best of luck!!

I've been getting a lot of the "don't lose too much weight" from people recently so If I can get to 120, I'm going to start working on diet maintenance, lifting and flexibility.

around 130 I love my curves

Some women have curves at well under 130. There seems to be an idea on this site that being under a certain weight automatically means you don't have a shape or you don't like being curvy.

I've been to that site. It made me feel fat, or at the very least, it confirmed that I'm just as pear-shaped as I imagined. Did not make me feel better.

My goal might change, i'll see when i get closer, but 120 sounded about right.

Sparlingo

I'm 5'0"

Interesting - I'm starting to think that maybe my goals are unrealistic? Pre-baby I was 135 and looked quite heavy then (I have a very small frame). I've been this height and 90 lbs before and looked terrible. I remember feeling best about my body at 105-115 lbs, so I set a goal weight of 110 lbs. That said, I was quite young when I was in this weight range (18 to 20 years old), and I'm older now (27).

So pre-baby I was 135 lbs, and post-baby I'm 160 lbs (baby is 5 months old).

I had a softer goal of about 120 lbs -- when I get there I'll see how I feel/look and adjust accordingly. Really, though, it's more about body shape and energy levels/healthy eating and exercise habits to me than a number. Generally I hate scales.

Joreanasaurous

My DL says I am 5 foot and pounds. In reality I'm about half an inch short and about 18 pounds heavier. When I started this site about a month and a half ago my goal was to go back to my DL weight. But I don't want to be "skinny" anymore. I want to be fit. I started lifting weights and am starting to see a little definition in my arms. And I love it. I keep flexing and looking at my baby lump on my arms and feel so proud. I think I want to really start working on becoming stronger so I have no idea what weight that would be? Maybe more than I am now, maybe less.

In high school, I ate under 800 calories a day and got to 122. But I was miserable and had terrible skin and hair, and the weight came right back on in college. This time around, I want to be healthy and maintain my weight properly.
