I am almost 5'1 and my goal is between 125 and 130. About 4 years ago I was down to 112 lbs and wore a size 2 loosely. For me it was too thin.

Don't focus on the recommended weight. I feel the same way, I'm 5'0" and 179 lbs. I have NEVER, as an adult, weighed less than 140. I looked good and felt good at 140, so that's much closer to my goal.

I agree with this. Yeah, I'm 5'1". I haven't weighed a 110 lbs since I was a pre-teen lol. But, I think a lot has to do with your body frame. If you have a smaller body frame (I mean bone density) then you could easily be about 110 lbs. If you have more bone density like me then 125 lbs is just fine. I'm trying to get to 125 lbs myself so I'll know what I look like when I get there myself.

I'm 5'2 and currently at 134. My prebaby weight was always around 120-125. Trying to get back to that range.

5'2" - lowest I've been in 20 years is 118 - my goal was 120. I was wearing 0's and 2's at that weight. I think 125 is a realistic healthy weight for me - and I've got about 18 pounds to get there. I didn't even weigh 100 pounds when I graduated from High School - and I had no idea how thin I really was. I carry all of my weight around my middle which drives me nutty. Although I lost the weight in 2009 in about 9 months, I gained every pound back so started this last month. I lost on weight watchers - but honestly, I never understood how to maintain. Good luck ladies - we can do this!

MirjaH79

I am 5'3 1/2" and currently weigh 203. My short term goal is 80 kg (176 lbs)and long term goal at 68-70 kg (150-155 lbs). :glasses:
When I reach that, maybe if I'm reeeally bold, I might even go for my ultimate-wildest-dream-goal at 63 kg or 140 lbs... :noway:

I'm 5'1", and I haven't been in the 110-115 lbs range since high school. I was in really good shape before I got pregnant (late 20's), and I was around 119 lbs, pushing lower, but I was really working for it. My easy maintenance weight then was about 122 lbs, which is a BMI of 23 and seems good to me. I'm currently at 125 lbs, and after being all the way up to 142 lbs, that feels really amazing, especially knowing that more of it is muscle now.

You are correct that there are many factors that go into why different people are healthy at different weights (and should not compare). It does have a lot to do with frame size, which is not the same thing as bone density. A small frame does not have anything to do with bone density. I have a very small frame. I could go into the details, but basically my waist is 23 inches and my hips are 34 inches. I don't carry weight in my midsection, on my tummy or back. I also wear size 5.5 in shoes, so that is another aspect of having a small frame. Just because people are the same height does not mean they have the same size frame. A smaller frame means that there is less space for muscle and fat, the bones are smaller, and even the internal organs are smaller inside of the smaller body structure. It is genetic. Your own doctor will understand your frame size and what is healthy for you individually, but (as you know) we all know that for ourselves just from our life experience. I eat over 2000 calories and have always been between 100 and 110 at the most. I was 135 pregnant, and 115 a few days after the birth. And I ate between 2500 and 3000 calories a day when pregnant and breastfeeding.

I'm 5'1 and 207. But a lot of it is muscle and I am very busty (I wear a 36F). I wouldn't be able to get down to the "BMI recommended weight" of 201-227 if I never ate again! Goal weight is 150-170.

DelilahFreeman

I am 5'0 and currently 153 lbs. my current goal is 130 (which I look great at) however, my long term goal is 115. 116.6 and a BMI for 22 is my ideal stats for my age/height/build.

weightlessinny

I'm 5'. Currently @ 105. My lowest before my first kid was 96lb. I was at 100lb for the longest. before my kids. Would like to get back to my pre-kids weight of 100lb?

themodernthings

I'm 5'0. My highest weight was 165 a few years back and I was able to get myself down to 128 just through changing my diet back then. I'm currently at 148 and would like to get down to 125 and then see if I want to go any lower. I don't want to lose too much of my boobs or butt :blushing:

melissandra

5' 3/4" tall. I gained 40 pounds when on Lexapro (antidepressant) after my divorce. I was 112 lbs. but was too skinny, so now My goal weight is 130lbs. I like having curves. Its been a struggle, (at 45yrs old) losing weight but I will continue on my journey to get back in shape

Good Luck

I am 5'2" and currently weigh 128. I would like to get down to 120. Not sure what my BMI says about me, but I really don't care about that. I just want to feel and look a little better(-:

ugmf12

5 foot with GW 110-115 and hopefully most of my "assets" still in place

Currently, I'm too afraid to weigh myself after the holidays but I'm guessing I'm around 120-ish after maintaining 115 for almost a year. Have some serious work to do before April-May!

Good Luck everyone!

jennybean1985

I am five feet tall and they say i am suppose to be 110 lbs. Right now I am 238. I just cant imagine being that small. i dont think I have ever been that small. I think I would be happy at 140-150.

I am 5'1 and I am comfortable around 140, too. I'm currently at 195. At my best weight, I have always been around 130-145. I have always had an athletic figure (except for now, obviously!) I think it really depends on your stature. I would look very odd around 100 lbs. When I weighed 130 people said I looked anorexic because I have a medium build. Find what makes you happy and makes you feel comfortable.

newmrswood

I'm 5'0" and I started at 123, I'm currently 110.8 and I'm going to 105. I want to be small but muscualr so once I reach my goal weight I'm going to up my weight lifting, and if that means I gain 5 pounds back I'll be happy knowing it's muscles!
