I am 5'0 and currently weight 138. I started at 144 about 2 1/2 weeks ago. My first goal is to get to 127 ( the end of my reccomended ) but ultimately strive for between 120-122lbs. I am bottom heavy so at 110-115 i look kinda weird ! haha I know it is going to take a while but 5lbs on a small frame makes a big difference !

I am 4 foot 11 inches and my final goal weight is 123lbs as it would make my BMI below 25, my ultimate goal
My starting weight was 180lbs, and I'm currently on 162lbs.. so I'd be very happy just to get below 150lbs really
TBH I haven't been under 135lbs since I was a pre-teen, and even at age 18 I could fit into teenagers clothes, or a size 8 easily (size 4 in USA)... so I don't think being 123 would look right with my frame... but we'll see... when I get to 140ish I will re-evaluate 0 -
I'm five foot 1.5" I weight 143 now and want to be 136...I guess that is still considered "big" for a short girl but being almost 42 I don't want to look to0 thin in the face....and I love being curvy...0

5ft even cw197 gw between 140-150...hubby don't want me to lose all my curves ;-) and I don't think I would like being any smaller than 140!...that's healthy enough for me :-)0

I'm 5'0" tall. My goal weight is between 105-115lbs. I want a large gap so I can really figure out where I like my body the most.0

I am 5' and currently 154. I have heard many mixed comments about my weight. My doctor told me that because of the amount of muscle mass I have I do not look like I weigh 154. However, she said she would like to see me get that number down slightly. I have NEVER been super tiny like 100-115, so for me I think I would maybe look sick if I tried. My goal ultimate goal is 125-130.0

I'm 5' 0". I'm currently at 112, and would like to get down to 110-105 lbs. BUT I am also doing strength training so If I stayed at 112 or went up to 115 I'd be fine with that- more concerned now that I've lost some weight about my Body Fat %. I'm aiming for 16%!0

I am 5'1" and currently 98 lbs. My goal is to gain muscle and consistency. And to stay out of the under weight bmi and maintain the normal bmi. Right now my bmi is 18.6, so I'm pretty much at the boarderline.0

I'm 5'1 and 168 pounds. I have been in my "target weight" and didn't like it. I'm aiming for 130 - which is the weight I felt my best at. That's about 5 pounds over the heavy end of my scale but I don't mind. I felt my best right around that weight.
Edited to add: I am bottom heavy so when I got below 130, I looked like a bowling pin balanced on a bowling ball! Not a good look, LOL! 130 seemed to be more proportionate.0 -

Yesss shorties! Love the short lady posts
I'm 4'10", currently 118 lbs. I started out at 149.8 lbs (HW: 187 in high school), and I'm aiming for 105. I've got an 'in the meantime' goal of 110, as my tendency so far has been to reach certain goals and re-assess whether or not I want to continue losing. I've considered 100-96 lbs as my UGW, but that still seems incredibly low to me despite all the research and testimonials I've read about shorter ladies getting to 100 lbs or lower. It's always a journey, and it's always individual
Just an FYI on what my lifestyle for eating and working out is like: I eat 1800+ cals a day, am losing around 1.5 lbs a week, and I work out intensely 6x a week with an active rest day on Sundays (walking the dog, yoga, etc.) I'm also training for a half marathon and doing lots of strength work, because my goal is to be a strong shorty, all in all. If I reach a point where I'm no longer losing and I'm gaining, then I'm just going to focus on BF% after that (aiming for 21%-18%)
Good luck to everyone! I didn't think it'd be possible to get as low as I am now, but it keeps getting better every week. Keep going!0 -

I am 5'3" and weigh 110 and that is where I want to be ;P0

I'm 5'5", and weigh 150 lbs. I am just looking to get back down to 140 if I can. The last time I was below that weight was when I was too sick to eat. Just depends on your muscle mass and what you're looking for from your body.0
