Short 5 feet ladies... what is your goal weight?

spaceyplum

Hi everyone! I'm 38 and 5'1". I think the heaviest I may have ever been was around 148 and was down to 118 three years ago. Slowly went up to 140 once more and when I could barely squeeze my butt into my size 8's back in March I started C25K. My UG is to get down to 118 and back into my size 4 clothes... I'm getting close, CW is 124.8 as of this morning so only 6.8 lbs to go!!! I decided I wasn't giving up anything I liked to eat so I've mainly been controlling my portions and I've just been running so it's been slow going but I figure it will be easier to maintain than a diet where I cut everything I like out completely. Need to start adding weights to tone up though so I know the number on the scale will probably go up which I will be okay with as long as the inches go down. Always looking for friends to motivate so feel free to add me.

I am 5'1 and at this point I would be thrilled if I can just get below 120. I've really been struggling the last couple of months but my ultimate goal is between 110 and 115.

I'm just under 5'0" and my goal weight is 105. I lost weight two years ago and got down to 115... but gained most of the weight back due to uncontrolled stress eating.

I'd love to have friends with similar goals so that we can keep each other motivated!

110... ugh... hard to reach for me!

Same here. I am 5 feet as well. Now currently weighing 114 lbs, coming from around 120. Those 6 pounds make such a huge difference already!! I am a pear shaped girl as well, which means I'll Always have big legs & thighs... Ive been at 100 pounds before and I still had a big bum! I want to get to 110 first, I dont think 100 is a realistic goal for me anymore!!
I try to work out 3 times a week but usually it ends up being 2 times... I dont really enjoy weight lifting, only doing that with group lessons like bodypump.
Now only 4 pounds to go to get to a 110 but I've been stagnated at 114 for over a month now.... I need to relaly eat 1200 calories and no more on the days i'm not working out and I do notice that's a hard goal to reach... Anyone else has this problem??

I swear when I reach 112 I either sabotage myself or I start my period. It sucks. Currently I am trying to weight lift and change my shape instead of trying to reach my goal weight. I feel like maybe if I shift my thinking it will happen on its own.

I am 5'2". My goal weight is between 120 and 125. I'm currently at 145. My lowest (adult) weight was around 112, but that was because of a side effect of one of my medications that left me with no appetite whatsoever. I think around 120 is a good goal for myself, because I have a medium frame and am a pretty curvy girl.

Feel free to add me if you would like another friend.

I am 5ft2, current weight is 128lbs, goal weight 110lbs. Just trying to loose the last 18lbs of baby weight. I have already lost 24lbs since April 2013, my baby is 7 months old. I would love to get to target by the time he is one.

_2befit4life

My goal is the same I wanna be about 125 with 18% body fat. I'm 5'2" and 145lbs right now

MeRoHa

I am 5 ft. 4.5. My starting weight was 278. My current weight is: 229.5, My target weight is 145-155. That is what my doctor thinks is a good number for my build. Once I make it to that target range. I will then decide if I need to try to go lower. I am just happy with the progress I have made in three months.

I'm 5'0" and weigh 132. A few years ago lost weight using Weight Watchers Core and was down to 118lbs. At that point my husband actually told me not to lose any more weight. My goal now is 125.

I'm 5'2" and I don't have a goal weight or goal body fat percentage in mind anymore. I used to obsess over it and it drove me crazy. Now I just take things a day at a time, do my best not to focus on numbers, and enjoy the changes in my body as I get smaller, healthier, and stronger with my efforts.

I am 5ft 1/2 in. I am 32 with 3 children, the youngest being 1 (last month). I am at 118 lbs and I am going for 115 but really wanting 110. After I had my baby I was at 130. Pre-kids I was 98 lbs and I always wanted to be at 110 but couldn't. 25% body fat. My arms are toned my legs are not toooo bad but my mid section is the problem. I have the stretched skin which is horrible too. I have hit a plateau though and I am getting discouraged.

Don't get discouraged! The ugly truth is that being short does make it harder to loose weight and keep it off, because you only have to slip up once or twice a week to make your weight stagnate or even gain! (at least thats the case for me). How long have you been stagnated now? Don't give up! Just keep at it, your body might take a little longer than you want it to but you will get there. And if not, 118 at 5.1/2 and with 3 children is in my opinon pretty amazing!
