5'3 - 5'5 women Whats your goal?

I'm 5'5 and currently 147, this is the heaviest weight I've ever been, my regular weight is around 138, and I was never happy there, I the lowest I've gotten down to in the past 10 years is 133 and I still wasn't thrilled with that, mainly because I hold my weight on my midsection and my love handles are the LAST thing to leave me....

So basically as soon as my love handles are non-existent I will be happy. Since I've been down to 133, I would guess around 125 is ideal for me. My entire life I was 115-120 until I grew up and got a desk job: ) However, 115-120 was just too skinny looking back. I like a little junk in my trunk, I have no chest (except right now thanks to the weight gain, but it will be the first to leave me, sadly). I honestly could care less if the scale said 135 and i was toned and fit with no love handles, to me its about feeling good in clothing, and naked too!

5'5" and 130. It's within the healthy range, but I know that it's not my optimal weight. By that I don't just mean how a dress fits or how much I like the mirror. What I mean by "optimal" is the weight at which I can run the fastest, feel most energetic, and perform better mentally. I know it might seem a touch odd to make those connections, but over the course of about my adulthood (so far), I've passed back and forth over that "optimal" zone of around 115-120, and I do miss that feeling!

Anyone else out there looking for something similar?

I don't have a scale goal. I just want a flat belly & toned limbs.

My friend is 5'8" and weighs 150lbs and she's a size zero-all muscle, no fat. Scales are not a great measurement!

I have always been over the ideal weight for my height. I have lost 50lbs before about 7 years ago...I weighed 251 and got down to 198-in about 6+ months ( I was very determined and my mind was set). Well after getting married and enjoyed the comfort of going out to eat-I of course gained it back within 2 years and have been there since then. The whole point to this is "I AM TIRED OF THIS FAT" and I know it is tired of me. I want to feel good and look good-and I am more determined then ever. This time though I am changing my lifestyle in the way I eat-so I know I will never gain the weight back again. So here we go....WE CAN ALL DO IT!!! We have been given the strength to do so.

I know this sounds extreme but I want to be 107.8. Since I am 5'4", it will place me at a BMI of 18.5. I know BMI is not a indicator of fitness for individuals and I shouldn't care about a number on the scale but I am so close to my previous goal weight and I still hate the way my body looks. That is why losing 19 more pounds will help improve that image to me.

I'm between 5'4 1/2 and 5'5 and my weight currently fluctuates between 120-125 but my percentage of body fat is still quite high and I have lots of flab around my waist and lower abdomen. I'm *very* small boned, so my ideal weight is probably somewhere between 110 and 115 lbs.

I am 5'3 and I've been overweight for most of my life except for a few years in high school where I got down to 140 lbs. Two years ago I gained 30 lbs and got up to almost 200 lbs. I am down 20 lbs which took me a year to lose and I would like to lose over 50 more and get down to 120 lbs. I've never been that small in my life and thought that I could never get to that weight but I know that if I work hard I can reach my goal of a healthy weight.

5'5
currently 193 ;(
goal 150

5'4.5" here. SW 180 two weeks ago. My goal is 150 (149 so I can say I'm in the 140's lol). I know that probably sounds really high and it may be but mentally it's an achievable goal and I can always shoot for more. I was down to this weight 2 years ago and although I didn't look exactly thin it wasn't too bad. My neck started looking scraggly which I didn't like. Would love to get down to high school weight (118) or pre-children weight (around 128) and at least see what it feels like again but I think it would make me look older frankly. BTW, I am 52 so it's not like this was last week or anything lol. I want to lose weight not just for looks but for health. If I can get my BP and cholesterol down I'll be happy then re-adjust goal as needed.

I do need some more friends for motivation especially those ladies that can relate. Please add me.

Thank you!

I'm 5'5', currently at 189 (down from 229). My current goal is 150 (the top of the healthy range). Once I've reached 150, I will reassess. I can't even conceive of myself being that small, so once I get there, I'll know if I want or need to lose more.

I am 5'0 and would like to weigh 120 but we will see, I am at 142 now I have troubles with my food intake and just trying to take it hour by hour at this point how is everyone doing with fitness pal>? results or na?

Good for you! Keep up the great work!

:drinker:

I'm 5'3" and my current goal is 125. I haven't been there for 10 years, so I plan to see how I feel when I get there, and then readjust if needed.

I’m 5’5 and starting out at 190, my long term goal is 130lbs.
