Petite Ladies 4"11-5"3 What is your goal weight/bmi weight?

Hi everyone,

I am 5"0 and at my lightest I have been about seven and a half stone. I am large busted so I weigh an extra stone due to my breasts. But my BMI is obese atm as I am 161lbs. My target weight is 9 and a half stone. Once I get to there I may choose to go down to 8 and a half and throw in a bit more exercise into the equation. I am looking to get my BMI down to 26.
What are your goal weights and BMI goals? How many calories do you eat a day?

    I'm 5ft 2 and goal is 119-126lbs/ 8st 7 - 9st (I want some wriggle room!) (Current weight 10st 13/ 153lbs)

    I also have a large bust (GG) but know at that weight I'm a UK size 10 trousers and 10/12 tops which is good for me.

    I'm currently on 1,340 calories a day and have a steady loss of 1-2lb a week.

    I've lost 24lb so far in 13 weeks (14 weeks and weigh in day tomorrow)

    I'm 5ft 0. My goal weight is around 7st 5. I am currently 7st 10. My ideal body fat is about 16-18%- its 19% right now. I am a UK size 8 and looking to get to a smaller size 8, maybe a size 6-8.
    I'm looking to lose an inch off my waist and hips really- to be 32C, 24, 36.

    My calorie goal is about 1000 cals a day but i tend to cycle them so some days I am over and some days I fast. I have been eating 90% paleo for the last two years.

    Congratulations on the 24lb weight loss. I am looking to lose 28lb for the time being. Your goal weight sounds good a 10-12 is a good size to be. I am looking to go back to a 10-12 but an 8 by the time I am on holiday.
    I'm on 1200 calories. You have done really great to lose that in 13 weeks. I am looking to lose mine in 2-3 months.
  • I'm 5ft 2". I tend to take no notice of BMI but my aim is to get to 8 and half stone. I have been that weight before and people have said it was too small for me. I'm currently just over 9 stone and people think I look fine. But I still feel better at 8 and half. I have DD breasts which weigh 2lbs total (I know this as they were weighed before they were put into my body, lol!)

    Do you not feel tired restricting yourself to 1000 cals a day? Im not critising I am just curious because I am currently on 1200 and I get really hungry and faint.

    Even when I have been quite slim it has said I am over weight. But I need to get mine down to get my breast reduction as they won't do it at the moment :(
    Yeah I have felt my best at 8 and a half stone I think it is a good healthy weight.

    I'm about 5'1.5" in height and currently about 10 stones. Ideally, I'd like to be around 7 stones. I don't think I'd actually lose that much, but just keeping the goal weight wide so I could lose as much. I used to be at around 8.5 stones and still looked fat.
  • im 5'3 and my goal is like 120

    I'd love to be 7 and a half stone but I haven't been that light since I was 15 and I looked a bit to skinny! But I'm sure it is possible.

    Good greif no. I am certainly not restricted- i don't really ever feel that way- IF I want something I'll usually have it or if I'm hungry i'll eat. I hate to be hungry.

    I don't eat grains (bread, pasta, cereal, rice etc,.) or much dairy (I have non-dairy milk in my tea, but may have a piece of cheese maybe once a month- I'm going off it anyway, it feel funny in my mouth and has a funny afterate these days) and they are pretty calorific. I eat large volumes of low cal nutrient dense foods.

    Breakfast might be eggs, maybe bacon too- with mushrooms and tomatoes and spinch etc.

    Then lunch -its a huge salad with ham, or boiled egg, , cold comelltte or chicken, or pork etc.

    My snacks might be nuts, fruit, berries, cold cubed and seasoned pork, chicken, boiled eggs, crudite and nut butter.

    Dinner might be rosted chicken and roat veg, or maybe savory mince and a pile of steamed veg. or maybe home-made stew or soup.

    You get the idea...

    I am usually about 90% paleo- so I will have a biscuit if they are in the office sometimes, or something like that.

    I'm 5ft 2 and my at my heaviest probably around 180lbs and my lowest probably 80lbs - I wouldn't recommend the Malaria diet to anyone!

    I am looking to get to around 119-125lbs

    Good luck with your weight loss!
  • 5ft 1 and im 171 llbs and my GW is 135 llbs
  • I'm 5'3" and my goal weight is 125 lbs. That gives me 95 lbs to lose total... it will take awhile, but it will be a good thing.

    I'm 5'1" and my goal weight is 140 - at my age and weight I think thats about as far as I can go and feel comfortable - if I feel I can go further then I will!!
  • I am 5' 1", 32G, and currently weigh 145 lbs. I want to get back down to around 121 lbs. I know I can do it. All my life I had been plump until I reached by late 30's. Went down to 102 lbs and stayed at that weight for a couple of years although everyone told me I looked like a lollipop head but I felt great about my appearance for the first time in my life. The last couple of years since I gave up walking 2.5 hours per day, the weight has crept back on and unfortunately being petite it really notices. I didn't really realise how much it notices until I took some "before" photos as I have just started the 30DS. I cannot believe how heavy I look, what a wake up call seeing myself sounding there in my bra and knickers. I have been deluding myself for too long!

    I am 5'1.5" (156cm) and currently weigh around 97 pounds / 6.9 stones. I tend not to care about my weight at this point, I am more focus on bring my body fat down and replace them with more muscle. I am currently at 18% body fat and 33% muscle based on my Omron HBF-514C Full Body Composition Scale, a must for people who really want to get fit!!!
  • I am 5'2" and looking to get to about 105-112lbs. (BMI around 20). I'm 53 and this is very achievable, even though many people my age and older think that they need to be heavier.
    I am about 9lbs off my goal weight so I know it is achievable. My understanding is that BMI for the normal weight range is 19-24.
    I know that with encouragment, you will achieve what you set out to do.

    I'm 5'1" and right now I weigh 152. I was down to 140 but fell off the wagon but I want to get back to that weigh. At my highest I was 197. Still can't believe that! Weight has been a struggle all my life but now finally, at 52, am learning to eat in moderation and I also now love to exercise so that helps. But to answer the question, 140 is my goal weight with a BMI of less than 25%

    I'm 4'11 (and a half) and I currently weigh 158. I started out at 184, so things are progressing. I was at the dr recently for a test and they have to enter your height/weight into their system and off to the side it tells you what you're supposed to weigh. It said 110 lbs! I don't think I've ever been 110 even before I started having children!

    My temporary goal is 150. I think I'm going to readjust to 140 and a size 8. I'm currently about a 12 down from an 18.
