    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.

    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'm 5 feet as well and stalled at 150 for the past six months. Hoping to eventually make it to 124.

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

    I started at 135 and got down to 121, but after a minor surgery I am back up to 130. I want to go back to 121. It's a little frustrating to gain the weight back, but I have gained so much strength and cardio endurance. I didn't realize it until I took a break and then tried Insanity recently. I may never get back to 121, but I am proud of what else I've accomplished.

    I wish you the best on your journey. Just remember that the scale is just a piece of getting healthy.

    ETA: Oh yeah! I'm 5'0" also.

    I'm 5'1", I'll be turning 28 on Sunday. My goal weight is about 105... although right now I'm 112 and I'm really not upset about it. I was 115 while I was in the military and I think it was the best I've ever looked. I'm hoping that once my gym reopens, I'll start working out more and lose my tummy that way... It doesn't really matter what the scale says, as long I'm happy with what I see in the mirror. ;-)

    My first post - yay!!

    130 for 5' is totally a realistic goal! I'm slightly under 5' and my goal is 125lbs - set up with the help of a nutritionist. On a 1200 calorie diet with tons of protein, whole grains and veggies, plus at least 1500 calories burned through exercise a week. Shockingly, I am pretty full if I eat all the right foods prescribed to me for the 1200 cal diet. Lost 7lbs already in four weeks. My nutritionist said in maintenance, as long as I keep up the exercise, my maintenance will be around 1500. Good luck!

    Hey shorties! I'm 5' and 124 right now, I would like to drop another 10.
    I find it difficult reading all the "eat more than 1200 calories" posts, since we obviously do not fit the average. I am also just now facing the reality that I will always have to eat around 1200 just to maintain, at this height.
    Happy to have found my people. :flowerforyou:

    Hiya! A shortie here also! I am at 115 heading on down to 110, and most TDEE calcs put my maintenance at 1900. I currently eat about 1500 a day, and am still losing. So i don't know! I don't think you should necessarily have to stick to 1200 the rest of your life! When I made the jump from 1200 to 1500, I put on a couple pounds, but 2 weeks later, I started losing again, at the rate of about .75 pounds a week

    It's really interesting to see that there's such a range of goal weights amongst us!

    My stats:

    Height - 5'1
    SW - 182lb
    CW - 140lb (I've been hovering around this for a while, following surgery earlier this year)
    GW - 126lb - or thereabouts! Will review when I get there against other measure like BF% Hoping to reach GW by Christmas 2013!
    Age - 52

    Happy to be added, particularly by those of similar age who sometimes wonder whether they have a metabolism anymore :-)

    My goal is 130 or 125. Since I'm in my 40s, I'm good with that. I don't plan to re-evaluate once I reach my goal. I was much smaller, 102 - 112, in my 20s but I'm not longing for the good ole days. :smile: :ohwell: :yawn:

    I am 61, currently at 155lbs. And 5ft tall. I think I would feel good @120, but my dr wants me @100. Not sure I care to be that small again.

    4' 9" and currently 162. It sucks being short because theres no place for it to go but out. While the charts say my ideal weight is 98 pounds (as if) my healthy weight is 115. I'll be happy with 120 at this point.

    5 feet tall/fun size/vertically challenged, ALMOST 41 year old sassy mom and wife...

    SW:198 (when I started exercising on 2/17 and logging food on here/MFP on 2/21). But, MAY have been up as high as possibility 207 -209 Ibs last summer... However, my digital scale I soon realized was off by 2 Ibs (on the high end).... Thus, I use the starting weight of 197...
    CW:174
    GW: 140 (first goal - weighed this when I got married almost 9 years ago -- pre-babies and 2 c-sections)
    120 (2nd goal)
    110 (3rd loose goal as that might be too low for me now since I haven't been that since my early 20's and my body has drastically changed since pregnancy and two c- sections).

    Feel free to add me with a msg... GL everyone!! :smile: WE CAN DO THIS!!! :flowerforyou:
