    Hi All,

    I'm 5'0 and currently 160 started at 165 3 weeks ago. My current goal is 140 and once I hit that see how I feel. At my lowest point which was in high school was 128 and for me I felt to skinny so I think I want to go no lower then 135. I'm 23 years old and mainly want to get rid of the tummy and some off the thighs. I have pretty large breast and literally a Kim K butt! Lol and I kinda don't want to lose it with the weight loss :)

    When I was 18 I lost a bunch of weight and was down to 160-165 - I was around a size 12 and felt Great and looked great at that weight so that is my first goal - Now if I can get smaller then that well I guess I wouldn't mind - I have rather large breasts so I don't want to get so small that it looks funny so once I get around a size 12 what ever weight that might be I will relook at where I am at and see what I want to do

    I am 5ft 1. I my heaviest was 237, right now I am at 224, and honestly, I am not worried about my weight.
    I have a thick, muscular body type. When I was in highschool, I weighed 175, and I could bench 200 and leg press the max weights we had in our gym, and two girls sitting on the bench. Even as big as I am now, I can still feel those muscles, and still lift, pull and push heavy weights without much effort. So I know I will never ever be 120, which is what we 5 footies are supposed to be. I think I weighed 120 in 7th grade.

    My goal is to be a size 10 (I am a size 18 now) and to get rid of my jiggle. I don't care how much I weigh. At 175, in highschool, I still had pudge, although I was a size 14. I think I will be happy at a size 10.

    I am starting to do the nerd fitness beginner body weight workouts, with the goal of eventually switching over to barbell training.

  • Used to be 5'1" and a little bit, and anyone who is under 5'5" knows that little bit means ALOT. Now I've lost the little bit and an inch besides. So it's 5 feet and starting weight 173 lbs. Need to get out of the obese section on the BMI, not looking to get to normal because I don't think I'd look all that great in that section 130-135 would be satisfactory, I've been there and liked the look for me.

    Hello everyone! I'm 5'1" and when I began my weight loss journey on May 5th, 2013 I weighed at 225lbs. My goal is to lose 95-100lbs and weigh anywhere between 125-130lbs.

    Since I first started I've been working hard, making the right choices with my diet by eating more fruits and veggies, whole grains, lean meats, learning about how much I need to eat versus how much I want to eat, and introducing exercise into my lifestyle.

    I am proud to say I now weigh 207lbs, having dropped 18lbs, and I'm ready to continue down this road to achieve my goal.

    I am 5'2" and my goal weight is around 130-140 but I am not setting an absolute weight.... when I get closer to my goal I will decide based on how I feel about how I look and how I feel about my fitness level. I'm not going to allow a chart to tell me where I should be... if I reach something I am satisfied with and it keeps me in the overweight BMI range than so be it... all that matters is how I feel and how healthy I am.

    I'm 5'0", 109 lbs right now. I look pretty good but still have a bit of flab. . . I think that around 105 lbs or so would be alright, but I'm not hung up on the numbers. I plan on shifting more of my workout time toward my strength training and a little less toward my cardio and see if I can build me some muscle :smile:.

    So I think I'll eat closer to maintenance now, up the protein, and lift more and see what happens!

    I'd post a pic of me at 111 for reference for any other 5'0" girls, but I've hit my bandwidth limit with photobucket and refuse to pay them money :grumble:.
  • I'm 5' 2". My goal weight is 135 - 140. Because of my age I don't think I'd look good if I lost anymore weight. My starting weight was 177. It's been a week and I've lost 6lbs. Just hoping to lose about 2lbs per week.

    at 5'2" the charts tell me I need to reach 135 to get inside the healthy weight range- I'll see how it looks when I get anywhere near there

    I fell in love when I saw this topic. I am 4ft and 11 inches, my first goal from this current wait is to hit the 130's. Once I get there I will set another goal. I focus on 10 lb incriments short term to the main goal.

    I'm 5"2" and my goal is 137.
  • I'm 5'3". My goal weight is 120lb. My lowest ever weight was 115lb but I was "skinny fat", so I want to get close to that, but not quite there as I'll be concentrating on muscle.

    I am 5"1". I was down to 100 lbs and that was perfect! I gained 10 over the school year and was also sidelined with tendonitis for much of the last year. I am now down to 109 and will settle for 102. Thanks for asking!

    I'm 5.3ft my start weight was 164 last May, I got down to 140 for my wedding this May unfortunately then I over-indulged and by the end of July was back up to 149. I'm currently around 146 pounds and my first goal is to get back down to 133 where I was 5 years ago and then go from there. I find it very difficult to lose weight so I know it's going to be a slow process that's why I don't want to be too over-ambitious with my goal weight.

    Hi all:)
    I'm just barely below 5ft. I began dieting on July 13th and only weigh in once a month. I run 3x a week and shoot archery for exercise.

    SW: 169
    CW: 159
    UGW: 117

    My short term goal is to be anywhere in the 120s by Christmas....fingers crossed X!
