I am 38 years old. I am 5'1 and have my final goal set at 118. Was wondering what everyone else around that height was trying for? I am pretty big up top. 34DD. So I don't wanna go to low cause I will look sickly than.

    I'm 5'3", and I'm shooting for about 125 lbs. I want to slim down, but I still want to maintain some curve.

    HI I am just shy of 5'2" and I am SMALL framed. I got to my goal weight. I needed to lose 20 lbs that I had gained after having my 4th child and my weight was mainly in my stomach area which I was able to get back to trim with lots of exercise and eating right! Feel free to add me my diary is open and I am active.

    Hi! I am 5ft and my first goal is 'one'derland. I'm looking for around 115 eventually. . . But that feels sort of impossible right now . . .so I am taking small milestones, lol.

    I log every day and my diary is open, I'd love to have some more friends!!!

    5'3" my ideal weight is 140 anything lower than that just looks prison campish.

    I'm 5'2" and I'm hoping for somewhere around 125-128 ~ somewhere around there. I'd love to be sub 120, but I just don't think that will be sustainable for me. We'll see!

    I am 5'1" and I am aiming for 135-ish I think. I am large framed and I have no idea what will be alright. I keep reassessing.

    I round up my height to 5'2" and my current goal weight is 140lbs right now b/c I am hoping I will be lean b/c of lifting. I may re-think that once I get there and aim for 130lbs which was my original goal but I will be really happy once I am out of size 12 jeans and into one digit sizes. That would make my year right there !!! :drinker: :bigsmile:

    I dream to be over 5 foot (would love 5'1)
    next to no chest
    I'm under 100 and think I can stay there as I move my fat percentage out and up my muscle. I don't know where I'll end up though. The scale looks nice, but he body doesn't.

    I'm 5ft 1 and 3/4 and my goal is around 119.

    I'm top heavy as well 32 DD so I'm seeing how things go as I have a tendency to get sticky out hip bones if I drop too much weight but I need to be nearer that goal to see if its the right one :happy:

    I think I'm about 5'2 and am shooting for 130. Once I get there I will see how I look and feel to determine if I should go lower.

    I'm 4' 11.5" but I usually just round up to 5' :) My goal is 115.

    I'm a hair shy of 5'3" and my ultimate goal is right around 118. I'm 125 right now and I'm satisfied with my body, but I would like my stomach to be a bit flatter and my waist to shrink another inch.

    I'm 5'0". My initial goal is 128, but as I get closer, I've realized I still have a way to go. Once I get there, I'll aim for 118-120. I have a small frame, but like you, I am larger up top. So far all of my weight has come off of my hips and butt.

    I am 5'2.5 I started at 150 and am currently at 134 and my goal weight is variable. I have it set at 120 on here, but I am starting to lean more toward 115. It will just depend how I look and feel as I keep losing. Please, feel free to add me! :)

    Hey! I am 30 years old and 5'1, and range depending on my weight from a 34dd +. Although I am no where near goal right now, from the past when I have lost weight, 118 was verging on the too thin. That was toned. But, that was my body, and frame. This time around, I will be so happy to just see between 120-125 - hell, at this point 135 would make me happy! LOL

    we must have the same body type... 5'2" for me, and want to get to 140. When I was sick I got to 118 and looked TERRIBLE

    5'1 (and a half) here. I started at 168, I've gone down to 133 since then, and I felt and looked excellent there. I was size 4-6 still curvy. I've found I'm not comfortable going above 136. I'm at 139 now. Clothes are just a bit too snug, and I feel out of shape. When you're as miniature as we are, 3lb makes a big difference.

    My goal is 120. But I think I'd really like to add muscle to that, so I'd be ok with 125-130. It all depends on how I look and feel though.

    I'm around 5'2", 19 years old, and currently 130 pounds.
    When estimating, I believe I'd be happy anywhere from 105-115, but I will decide once I near my goals. I think with the muscle I'd like to acquire, it will be closer to 115, but I'm not sure yet.

    I'm 5'2" and my ideal weight has changed a lot over the years. When I was in high school, I remember thinking that 118 pounds was fat (I weighed around 108). Now that I am almost 60 years old, my goal weight is 127 pounds. It's funny that when I weighed 118, I wore a size 10, and now that I am 128 (1 pound from goal), I fit comfortably in a size 6. What's up with that?

    I am 5' 1/2" and my goal is set to be at 125. I am not sure if that is a good weight to shoot for and if I will ever get to that. I am with you about being big busted. I have always been a big 36C or D.

    WOW!! I didn't know that there were so many shortys out there! I am so happy to see that I am not setting my goal too low. I was thinking I needed to reset my orginal goal. But yall have shown me that my goal is ok. Several I work with think I am crazy to get to 115. But when I am there they will see what I suppose to be my normal!! P.S. Anyone that would like can add me ;0)
