    I'm 5'3" and was hovering around 120 all last year with my ultimate goal to be 115.

    I'm 5'2". I weighed 105 in high school, wore a size 1 and loved the way I looked. Now I'm 49 and weigh 157. My goal weight is 120ish and it's hard as hell to get this crap off me now that I'm older lol!!! But I'm working hard and MFP is helping, along with my friends on here. They help me keep on track.

    I completely understand what you are wanting when you say you'd like to lose a few more pounds. At our height, a lot of times it depends on a person's body type as to what we look like with a few added pounds here and there. A few pounds can make a BIG difference on a short person.

    I wish you success in your journey. If you or anyone else want more friends, feel free to ad me. Support is an amazing thing!! :D

    Im 5'1 and weighs 99 lbs. For my height, thats pretty fat, especially my thighs and my belly :(


    ^^ I doubt you're fat :/ It's cool if you want to lose weight or tone up but if you are 99 lbs, you are NOT fat lol :)
  • I'm 5'2". All through out High School I weighed 160lbs. I always heard comments that I was big and blah blah blah. In my early to mid 20's I was determined to lose weight so went down to 120lbs. But when I turned 27 I was in a major car accident and somehow went up to 160lbs so i started working out again & went down to 115lbs. N then people started talking that I was too skinny.

    My point is, people are going to talk regardless! They talked because I was too big then they talked because I was too skinny!! So my advice is go with whatever makes YOU happy, as long as it's healthy. I was so fed up that I finally went to the Dr & she told me that for my height 115lbs was a healthy weight for me. Medically i was ok, I finally felt comfortable and good about myself & ultimately that's all that matters. So do whatever feels right to you.

    Right now I just had a baby, I weigh 140lbs & he's 10 months. So my goal is to lose as much as possible by the time he turns 1. My goal is low 120's but I'll be happy if I get to the low 130's and i'll continue from there. If possible I hope to be 115lb again, but i'll be 32 by then and I hear it's harder to loose weight as you get older so i'm taking this one step at a time :-)
  • I'm 5' and half of one inch! Losing 8 pounds at your height/weight sounds like a pretty healthy goal to me, especially if you have a small frame! Feel free to add me if you're looking for a fellow shortie. :)

    I am 4'9". I weigh around 153. i am 64years old. My currant goal is 130. Just before I got pregnant with my first child I got up to 98 lbs. Just after my second child was born I weighed 113lbs. I would like to get that low again. It will take a lot of work. The most important thing I want is to be around for my grandchildren for a long time.

    I am only 5'1" and that's with me rounding it up from 3/4". So you have me beat!

    I agree you are not fat at 5'2" and 99 lb. I am 5'1" and 107-108 lb., so I must be even fatter then??? You are actually at the low end of your Ideal Body Weight range, your BMI = 18.1, so that is actually considered underweight. I am a R.D. so you can trust what I am telling you.

    I'm 5'2" as well and I've always been between 95-100 lbs. Not until this year, anyway. I gained about 20 lbs. :(

    I'm 5'2"!!! I would love to weigh around 120-130 when I'm done but I've never weighed that as an adult (or teen probably), so I'll reassess as I go...

    I am 5'2" and weigh 144 lbs as well with the same problem areas. I think once us short girls start to gain weight it looks the worst in our butts and thighs.

    OMG! we are so alike!!! i'm 5'2" 119 and trying to get back to 109 where i was in March, I have no idea, why I gained 10 pounds, Its all around my mid section, and I need it gone!!! I've never changed anything diet or exercise in years...so all of a sudden weight gain is freaking me out!!! Us shorties have it way harder than taller people, 10 pounds is like 20 or 25 to someone 6" tall
  • I am 5'2 and 132. My weight has not budged since I had my second child 3.5 years ago. My goal is 112-115. I have a small frame and 5 pounds looks like 10 when I lose it. I am having a very very hard time getting more than 3 lbs to go! I have to really cut my calories very low and just give up.

    I'm 5'2" and about 140 pounds. I would love to weigh under 120 again but I've been doing P90X and since I'm gaining muscle and losing fat I'm okay with not getting that light again - I don't want to lose this muscle it is taking me so long to build! Feel free to add me!

    Hey mama mila! you are taller than me:) I'm 5'1 and between 130-135lbs, My goal is to not so much lose weight but to reduce my total body fat. I am toning and getting lean but my middle is not tighten up like the rest of me. Finally I am working on my nutrition. Its been day 3 and this site is very helpful at putting food consumption in perspective. Stick to it shortie, its not easy but you are surely worth it!
