    Hi - this is my first post. I am 5 ft tall and I'm about 112. I'd like to loose about 10 pounds, that's where I'm the most comfortable. I've been trying to watch what I eat but it seems the older I get, the harder it is to loose (I'm over 40). I've always yo-yo'd up and down with 10-15 pounds but I'm getting married in a couple of months and I just had my first dress fitting. I can't afford to gain even a pound, otherwise my dress won't fit !!!

    I was told that I should be 95 pounds for my frame (I'm very petite) but that seems too low to be healthy.

    I'm 5ft as well, SW was 157.5lbs and my CW is 148lbs...my first mini goal is 10lbs (so close) and work from there. My ultimate goal is to go back to about 120lbs.

    Yes I'm 5 feet tall too! Just started this 5 weeks ago. Started at 187 and want to reach 140 with an ultimate goal of 130. How long have you been on the plan? You've lost a lot of weight! Congratulations.

    5 feet here too. currently 127, want to be 117-115. no idea how many calories I should be eating, I exercise ALLOT and find it hard to get allot of food in, just not hungry. I lift weights and do combat cardio 6 days a week.

    Shortie here. My stats:

    Height: 5'0
    HW: 178
    SW: 174.2
    CW: 156.6
    My first mini goal is to get down to 140. My ultimate goal is 125-130 (and like everyone else, I will probably reevaluate when I reach my ultimate goal).

    Great job ladies on all your hard work!

    I'm 5'1," when I started out, my goal was 100 (from 122) and I'm now maintaining between 93-97. I think I'd like to stay here.

    5'2" 102 today, which I can live with, although my ideal weight would be the mid-90s. My highest weight ever, caused by medication, was 112, and I felt very overweight.

    I'm glad to see someone here with goals similar to mine.

    I'm 5 foot 1 inch. I used to weigh 255, but I've been working really hard to lose 100 pounds. Now that I'm getting close to that goal, I realize that's just not good enough. I want to weigh aprox. 135. I would be satisfied somewhere near that weight.

    I am at 5 ft maintaining at 115 lbs. There are going to be a lot varying weights for women at this height, and all of them may be healthy. Having a goal when you are not sure what will look good for you is fine, just don't get too hung up on the numbers.

    Hey, I'm 4"11.5 and maintaining between 106-110. I did want to get to 100, but I want to work on toning up, as I'm just not happy with my shape. I was 135lbs.

    For those saying that we only need 1000-1200 calories, that is simply not the case. Please work out your TDEE, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much you can eat.

    I agree. I can easily eat 1800 calories a day at the weight I am more or less maintaining.
