Ladies 5'3 Weight Goals (healthy weight?)

I am 50 years old....depending on which chart I look at I can be from 112 - 136 ...well I'm at 135.6 and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm working on toning up what I have now..but I LOVE my curves and think at my age 112 -- that's going to make me age and look sick. I don't have bone structure for 112 and really have no desire to be there.

I'm 5'4" and I'm looking to lose 20ish pounds, which would put me in the 150 area. As most people have said it all depends on your body type. At 150, I will be skinny (flat stomach, tigh arms, be able to wear a size 6-8 depending), but will still have a high BMI. I have a lot of dense muscle from various sports and activities I have been involved in my whole life. Muscle adds a lot of weight because it is so dense. In high school, I was the same height, weighted about 145, and had about 10% body fat (which is low) and had doctors telling me I needed to lose weight because I was over my perfect BMI. I was super skinny and looking at me there was no one in their right mind who would have thought I needed to lose any weight. Just be careful in getting wrapped up in just looking at BMI. Get down to a weight that is healthy for your body. My final goal is too look good in a two peice swim suit, and not being overly concerned with what the scale says.

Healthy BMI for 5'3" shows 114 to 140lbs.

I am 5'3/4 I would like to be in the 125 to 130 range.
My goal is 130 by the end of February.
Feel free to add me as your friend.

According to most medical standards, the healthy weight range for 5'3" is 104 - 141 and for 5'4" it's 108 to 146 pounds. Give or take a margin of error as it differs a little depending on who you ask or what site you use.

I wouldn't put too much emphasis into that though. Each person is different, and depending on your body make-up - your frame - your ideal weight may be outside that range. I believe that most of that stuff is based on old science that is not accurate anymore.

In my opinion, I'd focus on body fat percentage. Calculate approximately what it is now, and aim for a healthy range. Here's a chart as an example:

*General Body Fat Percentage Categories

Classification Women (% fat) Men (% fat)
Essential Fat 10-12% 2-4%
Athletes 14-20% 6-13%
Fitness 21-24% 14-17%
Acceptable 25-31% 18-25%
Obese 32% plus 25% plus

Edit: Sorry the chart is all jumbled together. It's not jumbled when I type it in, nor when i edit it, I guess it just posts condensed like that

I am 5'3. I am 130 now, down from 160. I feel awesome at this weight. I am around 20-22% body fat.

I'm 5ft 3" and I wanna be 137lbs right now I'm 144 so I'm getting there!
When I was younger and in my 20s I was around 128lbs but I know if I was that weight now in my 40's I'd probably look ill lol

I'm 5'3" and I am aiming for 128 right now. I've been 123 and I although I felt great at the time, looking back I looked a little too small, and was eating the same things every day. My body loves to hover around 135. When I was 128 I thought I had a good balance of being able to enjoy eating and was still happy what my body could do and how I looked in the mirror.

im 5'3 and my goal weight is 15-140. with muscle. ive been that weight before and i thought i looked pretty good. anything under that n i lose my already non-existant curves lol im at 159 and 160's now

I'm 5'3". I"m going for my happy weight of 115 lbs.

I'm 5'3 & currently weigh 137. I was down to 125-127 lbs, but was told that looked too thin - now, that I have put back on a few lbs, I am looking "fuller". New Motto: "Strong is the new skinny!"

I'm 5'3" and my goal is 125lbs but I am going to re-evaluate at 140lbs, my weight range should be 104.4 - 141lbs for a healthy BMI. I want my BMI back in a healthy range but I also want my BF% to be in a healthy range too.

im 5'3" my goal weight is 110lbs, current weight is 115lbs. i started out at 125lbs. any one feel free to add me

I'm 5'4" currently fluctuating in between 165-170. My ideal weight is 135-140. When I was down to 125 people said I looked too thin and I did not feel my best so I think this would be the perfect weight range for me. I'm a medium to larger frame as well and gain muscle mass pretty easily once I start lifting. After 2 weeks of re-introducing weights after my back injury I already saw tons more definition in my back, it was awesome but not for my wardrobe lol.

I'm 5'3" and my ultimate goal weight is 110 lbs. I was 133 before having two children but would love to be 110-115 again! I was 140exercising after my second child and I looked really good for 140. That seems like a good goal to me.
