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

HI, I am 5'3 and I have about 50 lbs to get to my goal weight of 130-135lbs. I have also gotten those comments when I was at 139lbs a few years back, people say your too skinny, you look unhealthy etc. But no im more concerned with gaining muscle and strength this time around.

I had this too when I was getting back to a healthy body..I told them well you are used to the chubby me... this is the healthy me. Seemed to work.

I'm 5'5 and I'm looking to get down to 125-130. I started at 205 and I'm currently 198 so I'm still kind of in the beginning stages.

I'm 5'3.5 and not really sure what my goal weight would be. I remember being around 124-126 and still looking chubby! So I guess I'll just try and lose weight and lower body fat % until I'm happy with what I see in the mirror. I wouldn't mind seeing 115 on the scale though (:

Hello there. I am 5'3" (on a good day) Pre-pregnancy weight I was usually around 135-140 lbs. I had curves but didn't overly worry about how I looked in a bathing suit. Once I dipped around 125-130 people began doing the same thing, making remarks about how I was losing too much weight, was I okay, was I stressed? My goal is to get back to 135 lbs.

I am 5'3. In September it will be two years since I had my son. When I went into the hospital I was 200 lbs. I gained a lot when I had him. It was really hard for me to find the motivation to actually work out. After being so sick all the time I knew I had to change my lifestyle. I started setting some goals for myself and kept a little journal where I made myself workout even if I was too tired. All along I knew I was just making up excuses. Since exercising and having my son I managed to get myself down to 141lbs. I want to be down to 125lbs but if I can get myself down to 130 I will be happy. Im wanting to be down 130 before our family beach trip in august and I am sure its reachable. The comments from people that I know and don't know on how much I have lost weight has put me in a different perspective about things. My clothes started fitting better and were looser. I knew I was doing something right.

I put myself through a 30 day squat challenge and I finished that up a few weeks ago. It felt amazing just to accomplish something. I also do zumba and a few circuit workouts as well. I also try to walk during my lunch breaks and a few circuit workouts as well.
I think I have done great so far and I continue to work on it. I just want to be healthy and happy for my family. \

I am 5'3" and my current weight is 230... My first goal is also 160. I've never been under 160 since junior high (like 22 years ago) so I have no clue what my body may look like when I get there, let alone what my goal weight should be. So I'll need to reassess when I get to 160, I think.

I'm 5'3. Current weight is 163. I started around 168. My goal is to get to 135. I'm in my 5th week of Crossfit now. Believe it or not, I noticed results after the first 3 visits. I don't kill myself yet, I go 3 days a week. Usually Tues, Weds, and Friday. I figure once I build up, I'll be able to get the 4th day in there. But for now, it's slow and steady. But 5 lbs in a month isn't too bad!

Oh but fitness-wise my ultimate goal is to do a 100 mile century bike tour!

How wonderful!

I'm 5'4. I started in April with livestrong and lost 10 lbs. Just moved over to mfp. I'm looking to lose another 10! Goal weight is 120 by September

I'm 5'4 and my goal is 130. I've been at 135 before and was really happy with that weight, but I want to see if I can be even happier at 130.

My end goal is 110 pounds

I'm 5'2" and my goal was 115. I'm 113 now and very happy

Hi,
I'm 5'-3.5'' and ...

SW : 140 lb
CW : 113 lb
GW : 105 lb

I want to be in shape and athletic so.

Im 5'4 and my goal is to lose atleast 15 lbs. Good luck ladies!

I'm 5'4" and am starting TODAY with my journey on MFP at 150lbs give or take a few ounces. My "Step 1" goal is 140lbs. My "Step 2" goal is 135lbs; "Step 3" goal is 130lbs and the ultimate would be 125lbs.... but I've previously shrank down to 128lbs (after some rough personal times in my life) and people kept telling me how gaunt I looked.

I really do believe that you need to take into consideration how much muscle mass you have when talking weight:height combinations. Deep down inside, who wouldn't kill to be a svelt, string bean at 110lbs (slight exaggeration). But I also KNOW that body type plays a lot into it, too. I'm short and stout - always have been. I'll never be tall and lenky like my sister (5'8" and 115lbs). Therefore, at 5'3"-5'5" you could be talking a broad weight range depending on how you are built. Either way, I'll take my healthy weight loss as I can get it!
