    I'm the same height as you, and 120 is my goal weight. However, I started out at about 250, so we'll see! Right now I'm at 179.

    I'm just under 5'2" and weigh about 130 now. my goal is 120. I think if you want to lose a few pounds and tone up, go for it. My diary is open; feel free to take a look. My calorie target is 1200, and most days that doesn't leave me hungry. It just takes planning. I'm not exercising yet, but plan to when I get closer to my goal.

    I'm 5'4" and started at 127, now at 114. I wanna lose 5-9 more pounds. People think I am crazy, and when I tell them I just want to be healthy, they look at me like I am some fitness nut! And maybe I am, but I never use to be! I enjoy watching what I eat and exercising, makes life less boring (and I look better doing it!) :tongue:
    I am 32 years old and my ideal weight should be around 111. I want to get down to 105 to learn the discipline it takes, and then bring it back up to 110-111 and maintain!

    Power to the short people!

    I'm not quite 5'1". currently weigh 145, back in Jan I was 160. At my age for me 120-125 would be a good weight. but in my younger years I weighed 105-110

    YAY! So there are actualy some shorties out there! Some shorter than me even :D Well it seems that my goal isn't too idealistic but no one seemed to want to be under 115 so maybe when I get there I can decide...I'm not too far from being there, but like someone said, those few pounds make such a difference on my body type so we'll see!

    Looking the way that you do, who cares if you are 5'2"! Thats why you are into fitness, so you can look good and feel good about yourself right?

    I am 5'2 " and 135 lbs... I am not sure how much more I want to lose because 135 was my goal weight ( I was 195 before starting MFP). I want to keep toning up and working on my fitness level without putting to much focus on the scale! Feel free to add me as a friend!

    You are so small for your height! lol I am 5'2 and I was at the biggest weight I have ever been at a couple weeks ago. As soon as I hit the scale I cried. I made a promise to myself that I was at least going to try to get back down to my high school weight which was 140. 140 is better than the 168 I am at now for my height. So no you are definitely not the only shorter one on this site. I have no idea what I should be doing to tone up my legs I am just working on eating healthier right now and making some better life changes. Good luck on your weight loss but personally I would love just to be at 120 :)

    I'm 4'11 & 1/2" and currently weigh 105 lbs. I know exactly what you mean. people are always giving me a hard time for trying to get into shape. I don't think I'm overweight either and I really just want to be healthier and tone up a little, but most people just don't understand that.

    I'm almost 5'2" and I'm at 120 as well (I CAN'T SEEM TO GET UNDER 120!) and I'd like to lose about 10, it's nice to find someone who doesn't NEED to lose weight but wants to, I can relate to that.

    I'm 5'2 my goal weight is 125. When I was younger I weighed 95 lbs...don't want to be that skinny again, but I think 125 lbs is good at almost 40 yrs old. Shorties rule! lol

    I am 5'2"

    SW 180
    CW 158
    GW 130

    Age 51

    When I was younger I wanted to be thinner and at my thinnest was 103 but I looked horrid and almost anorexic. Different folks have different builds, and frankly at this point I just want to be at a good healthy weight for my rather shapely figure. Benefits being better health, get off any meds, and feel attractive again.

    Please feel free to add me.

    Nope, I'm 4'10. I have just under 10lbs to lose and it's been hard. When I tell people I am trying to lose weight they look at me like I am crazy, but I know what I look like under my clothes and I am not comfortable. I would love to wear a two piece bathing suit sometime soon. I am still young with two children and haven't worn one in over five years.
