in Success Stories
Hey everyone,

I am 5'3 and a half and currently weigh 164 lbs, down from 175 lbs. I am undecided on what my GW should be but thinking somewhere between 130 and 140 lbs.
If any of you are of similar height and within this weight range I would love to see photos, success stories etc so I can get an idea of what that weight may look like on me. I understand that everyone has different shapes and carries weight differently, but it's still fun to share photos and get motivation from other MFP users!

    Height: 5'3.5"
    At my heaviest: 175
    Currently: 168 and in a size 8-10.

    Goal weight: 145 (23 lbs to go!)

    I'm short and husky and I enjoy lifting weights, so I think 145 is a good goal weight for me. Muscle weighs more than fat.

    <<<<148lbs 5ft 4. FYI muscle doesn't weigh more than fat, it's just denser, making your body smaller.

    I'm 5'3, my goal is around 130-140lbs. I got down to 162lbs before I got pregnant with my 4th and I was a size 10 so as long as I can get down to a 7, I'm good :) I also have a large frame.

    Down 110lbs, GW is 140. I'm solidly built and muscular, so even though BMI says this is overweight, it will be a good weight for me. CW is 160 and these last 20lbs don't want to come off, but even though I've only lost 2lbs in 6 weeks, I've lost 14lbs of body fat :)

    I'm 5'3 and CW is 145. My GW is 120. I currently have a small tire around my waist when I sit down, so looking to get rid of that. I was at 120 after having all of my kids, so I know it is realistic, having a sedentary job has not been good for my health. Good luck on figuring out your GW! And congrats on your achievements so far.

    I am 5'4 138 lbs. I workout every day for the most part, I eat reasonably - in a manner that I can sustain. Some days it's 1200 calories, some days it is 2000 calories. I just try to make sure I don't deprive myself of the things I want, but at the same time, I don't go overboard. By knowing I can have a slice of pizza or a night out with the girls for Mexican food, I have found that I am actually less inclined to do it. I eat lots of fruits and veggies - lots of avocado and a lot of nuts. I try to keep a well-balanced diet proteins, carbs, and fats.

    I haven't lost a ton of weight in pounds, but I am down from a size 8 to a size 4.

    I think you can see my pics?
    And my diary is open (for better ideas on healthy eating, go back a few weeks. I have had a rough go the past few. :8)

    I'm 5'3" and was 214.5lbs at my heaviest and am now down to 124lbs. My original goal weight was 139.5 lbs, which I never thought I'd get back down to, but I did in a year and decided to keep going. I then thought 125 lbs. was a pipe dream, but here I am one pound below that and only 2lbs. away from my high school weight.

    I'm not sure if this is going to work. I've never posted on the forums before. The first picture was 2 weeks before the 2nd picture. The 2nd picture is me at 140. I'm 5'3"

    I'm 5'3 and a half and have about the same goal weight as you. I don't have any pics or success stories yet though, I've only been doing this for 4 weeks. So far I've lost 7 lbs. (can't see any difference in the mirror yet).
