I am 5'1 and my ideal weight is 130 - 135 lbs. That is what my Dr. told me. I'll post photos as I lose weight. The one up is the most current of me weighing in at around 200 lbs.0

im between a bit over 5'2" and i know what you mean. i think a good wheight for me is between 120-125. but i would go down to 115 and still be healthy thin. it also depends on your build and how you feel and look. i can weight 130-140 and still be normal sized but will have 'flab'.0

Yes it's completely unfair if I could work on gaining an inch in height lol I would do that instead of lose another 5 lbs any day. :sad: lol I'm still unsure of my GW gotta find some 4'11 and 5 foot nothing's lol0

I'm 5'1 and currently 135, trying to get down to at least 125. I think anything between 115-125 would be ideal for me, but I'll be happy to just get back to the 120's. What I wish though is that I could just stay at this weight and grow a few more inches, but of course that's not happening

Exactly lol .. It's so unfair. I'm jealous of women who are 5,2 and up sigh lol0 -
I am 5'2" and my ultimate goal is around 115-120lbs! I have a tiny frame tho so I know this is ok for me.
After i get to 120lbs i will make my goal my body fat rather than weight alone. Being small sucks
We really do get the short end of the stick as we burn less during exercise, have a lower BMR and thus have to survive on less calories than those who are gifted by height lol

I'm 5'2 and 3/4" (I usually count it as 5' 3", but I'm thinking of starting to round down rather than up in case I've lost height with age).
My happy weight for most of my life was around 120 lb, and that was the weight I tended to settle at naturally (without dieting). I felt underweight at 110 lb (even though I wasn't!). However, I liked the way I looked at around 135 lb. At 145 lb I started to feel too heavy. At the moment I'm vaguely aiming for 160 lb because that would mean getting out of the obese BMI range.0 -
im 5'1'' and atm i weight 155ish.. my goal weight is 135 wich is what i was when i graduated high school. im half way there
according to my wii my ideal weight is 116... i would LOVE that but i think thats too skinny for me. 0 -
ITS NOT FAIR RIGHT :sad:
Im 5'2" and 'should' weigh in at 147lbs.... only 11lbs to go!!!! Have been 135lbs but suffered (and starved) for it. Not going there again!0 -
Hate to butt in on you's, but I'd like to say something. I've had 2 girlfriends that were 5' barely something each, maybe 5'1' or 5'2" each. They had different body types. I couldn't imagine them weighing the same, it wouldn't look right. There bodies were/are formed different. One had a huge butt and big boobs, and the other basically the opposite, just a skinny girl.
I guess my point is, just because you all might be the same height, or close to the same height, doesn't exactly mean you should be aiming for the "next" girls weight. Bodies are made different. My 2 cent opinion, forgive me.:flowerforyou:0 -
I'm 5'2, and would be thrilled to get back to 120, but 115 is my ultimate goal. I made it to 119 last year and was pretty happy with that, but then had a horrible winter and gained back a bunch of weight.0
-
I told myself for *years* that I wasn't overweight, just undertall. :laugh:
It's hard to pinpoint an "ideal" weight for the height when everyone is proportioned differently. I have a very large ribcage but small hips, so if my weight gets too low I start to look emaciated. I'm 5'2" - my highest weight was 222 pounds, I dropped as low as 114 last year and didn't like the way I looked, and now hover comfortably between 120/125.
It's all about how you look and feel, and making sure that the goals you set are realistic ones. Good luck!0 -
I'm 5'(4' 11.5") and my goal is 115-120. That's what all the calcs tell me. i'm @ 136 right now.
feel free to friend me if you want. I'm on your side.0 -

Forgiven !!!:flowerforyou: this is why I made the post:bigsmile: I really wanted pictures !! This way I could visually see someone with my frame and height at a goal weight.. I got my moms frame all her life she was a stick lol then blew up:blushing: poor thing. But I've been blessed and cursed with her frame /figure It's hard to figure it all out0 -

That's the thing usually my frame or shape or whatever madness is in between 2 different options. It's nonsense ! I did away with all the calculations now I'm just toning and aiming to drop 2 lbs at a time to see where I'm happy realistically . My mum used to be like 95 lbs she was a stick but 10 lbs more n I swear it just Didnt settle right lol I have her frame and height unfortunately but I'm hoping odds are I won't have to get to that weight lol0 -
And agreed with everyone up above!! I always click my heels together and tell myself I can gain height lmao yea a rite. I wish imagine? Lol and with the cals boy whoever said it was right.. Creating a deficit is annoying!0

at 4'11 i should be between 6.5 and 9 stone (91-126 pounds) to be in the healthy weight catagory which seem SO super light. Bearing in mind i started at 195 pounds and I'm currently 136 pounds.
However I do feel so much better about myself would love to take a few more inches off my waist so i can be the pefect hours glass ... hopefully will all the hard work I've been putting in I will get there.
My goal was orginally just to be a size 14 (UK) which I am now **happy dance**
ETA to add -
However http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/ideal-body-weight-3146-143.html is rather depressing tell me i should be Ideal weight range is 100 - 110 lbs. (45.5 - 50 kg.).You are overweight by 26 lbs. (12 kg.). You may wish to consult with your physician for medical help. ... good job I'm feeling good right now OR I'd be spiralling ARGHH0 -

You might wanna post a picture of yourself so others can see what your body type is, so they can decide if there's is like yours, if that makes sense, or If I'm reading what you wrote correctly.0 -

I am 5' 1.5", but I usually claim to be 5'2"...my lowest weight in 20 years has been 135, and I wanted to lose 5-10lbs, but instead I got pregnant and gained 60.
People are right that your goal weight has to be a personal thing. Set your initial goal according to the BMI chart--maybe 10lbs "overweight" and see how you feel when you get there. I set my goal for 145lbs, but honestly may not get there. I have a hell of a lot more muscle this time around, so I have decided to maintain once I hit a size 8 no matter what the scale says.
this was me in '09 and I was no less than 190lbs. Those pants are a 14/16

My measurements in the second picture are very similar to when I weighed around 175lbs0 -
Oh my gosh great work! Can't wait to see the final results be sure to post them here as well!! Lol :flowerforyou:0

Focus on dropping body **fat**, as opposed to body **weight**.
That was my biggest issue.
I started out wanting to drop weight, but when I hit 61kg, I realised I didn't have much of a shape that I actually liked, and shape is what people see, not the numbers of the scales.
I've started doing heavy lifting, cardio etc, focusing on becoming stronger, and I'm now a kg heavier but have a more defined body than I did at 61kg.
I'm ~ 5"4 in height, if that's any help.0 -
Im 5ft and like you guys trying to find a weight that suits is difficult and extra wee lb or two can make a short person look huge!!! I have about 4 stone to lose to get back to the maximum weight for my height however Im happy at that weight and would love to be back there again!!! The issue with BMI is that it doesnt take consideration of your shape... Before I put on so much weight I had asked my doctor about it and was advised that because of my body shape they wouldnt be too worried if I was over the maximum weight for my height by up to 1 stone. My goal weight is to get down to 9 stone... If I make it then I might review it again!!!0
