    I'm 5"2 (just) and aiming for 126 which will be lighter than I've been in years! It is going to be a challenge but think a target lower than I've ever been before (since leaving school 12years ago) means it will make me focus more on exercise as well as diet.

    Goodluck everyone :-)

    I started with 1550 and that seemed to work for me. When I first started losing weight, that help me to get 52 lbs off of me. I just started back about 31/2 week ago and I've lost 11 lbs. I'm focing on eating between 1200 to 1420. You can add me, if you like.

    *gasp* I didn't know there were so many of us! Since it's so hard for me to lose weight (because I'm spoiled), I'm just not gonna stop until I lose 50+ pounds and get down to AT LEAST 150.

    Hello ladies,
    I am proud to be a member of the 61 inches group. I can not envision how I will look even 10lbs smaller than I am now, so I want to get down to weight that looks good and healthy on me. I want a toned body, so 130 or so may not be my goal/ maintenance, but that the BMI chart says 130 is a good weight for me.

    I am 44, 5'2 tall, and my goal is 125-130. I currently weigh 147. I truly think this is a personal goal for each of us, depending on body structure, family lifestyle, and personal health. Some of us look great at 110, while others look like we are starving ourselves at 110. Discuss your goal with your doctor, and listen to your body.

    Definitely agree with this :smile:

    My Gramma is 88 and is about 106 pounds I believe. I take after her, we have small frames and we're short haha. She doesn't look her age at all and nobody believes me when I tell them she's 88, they always think she's MUCH younger =]. I lift weights, do cardio and I work hard at both. I weigh myself and log it as a weigh in on Fridays and last I weighed 113.2 and I want to be between 110-115.

    I'm getting married October 7th and had my bridal shower a couple of weekends ago. My fiancés sisters are in my bridal party, his older of his two younger sisters is taller than me, weighs more but has very small arms. One of my friends said she thought she looked like she might break. She doesn't lift weights but she does play soccer, I'm not sure how often. I do think what type of exercise also plays a part because while I weigh less than she does I lift heavy on upper body so my arms look toned not big and definitely not small and I use low weights for legs but do leg exercises as well as ride my stationary bike on a high level.

    Anyone is free to friend me but I'll post now that I don't count calories. I go by my Gramma's way of thinking and I eat when I'm hungry, don't when I'm not, stay active and enjoy life .... so if you're looking for a friend like that then friend away :flowerforyou:

    I'm 5'1" and have no idea what I want to weigh. I'm currently between 118-122, down from 140. I'd like to weigh 111, just because of the perfect trio of numbers.,, :)

    I'm 5'2". I'm 40 years old. My goal weight is 140. I know that is kinda high from some of these comments, but I think it depends on more that just a number. Plus, I would like to be thinner, but muscular also, so you have to think about that also.

    To be honest at 5'1", I'm going for what feels and looks normal for me. Being of the Dolly Parton look alike club for the boobage on my chest, I have a hard time imagining myself lower than 135. Even in high school wearing size 11/13 I was in the 130 range. So my goal is to get to a weight that lets me fit into the size 10/12 wardrobe hanging in my closet from 3 years ago when I had lost so much weight due to health issues. I lost it too fast (not by choice), went on meds and gained it all back. Now I'm already down 20 pounds from my highest on the meds. I'm toning up and building muscle which sometimes means inches lost and not pounds. I can deal with that. I'm also the healthiest I have been in many years with my sights on the pretty little dresses in my closet. :tongue:

    Hi everyone! I am 5'1 @ 40! Currently 4.5 years into my journey - started out at 150...am currently about 113-116. I am THRILLED with how far I have come over the last few years! It's been a challenge with lots of sweat, some tears and maybe even a little blood! ;)

    I am so inspired by the posts here! WE all inspire each other so I hope I can do the same for you all! I am a CPT, Health coach and nutrition consultant (found my calling while on my own journey!!) there is NOTHING like the way you feel when you have made it to your goal - except when you make it to the NEXT goal....and then NEXT!!!!

    My goal weight is about 108-112....with a body far percentage of between 12-15%..... STRENGTH training and TURBO is my passion!

    I am 5 '1 3/4" and my goal is around 125. I am working out like crazy but wasn't eating enough or the right foods, so I was tired all the time and only lost 7 lbs in a month. Today is the first day I have followed 5 meals a day with my optimum amount of protein. I am going to try to eat like this from now on and see if it helps. I am taking a rest day today and am glad I found this thread. It's tough for us petite girls! We look heavier even with less pounds. I can relate to the girl with the German heritage.Me, too... Weight training is my best friend for shaping as well as cardio.

    I am 5'2' and my goal is 135. I would set a 10% goal first and then set mini-goals to get to your goal. Look for a good height weight chart that looks at your build, age, etc. to find out what is realistic and something you can maintain. BMI helps too, but I think that you are on the right track. Enjoy the journey!

    I am 5'1" and my goal is 140. I am 48 and i have been at 155 before. I am afraid that i might look too saggy. The bummer about carrying weight for an extended time at my age is that skin doesnt return very nicely. I want to be thinner and healthier, but dont want to look older and dont have money for plastic surgery.

    I really dont understand when the MDs say the best weight is around 125 for me. I would look so sickly.

    Anyway, thats my thoughts

    Hugs for the journey,
    Karen in CO

    5'0" and currently 154. I was 17 lbs heavier when I started using myfitnesspal. My goal is 130. I did it once before (3 years ago) with the help of using a food journal like this one, except that after 8 months of doing it, I decided I didn't want to keep a journal every day. I gained back all the weight I lost. My new perspective is that of a person who goes to AA. "Today I will report my food in a journal." It's just one day at a time. Once at the goal, I'll see if I can do more. Getting to 130 will mean a loss of 41 pounds and I think that is a great accomplishment.
