    I am 5'3.5 (that half inch is a pain in the butt, so I usually claim I'm 5'3 for weight loss calculators and tell people I'm 5'4 to feel tall - LOL!) I started in 2009 at my heaviest - around 176 pounds. I got down to my lowest ever weight of 139 lbs last year, and my weight crept up to 145.5 as I plateaued for about a year. Now I want to be down to 125, which is a healthy middle ground BMI.

    So I'm 5'0" and down to 109 lbs (due for a new monthly photo soon - this is last month's). Don't think I'm where I want to be yet, but I don't think it's much of a number game anymore. I want to decrease body fat and increase muscle. Will have to restructure my goals now :smile:.

    Hoping the visual helps some of those that have a little further to go. Of course what 111 lbs looks like on other 5'0" girls will vary based on body type and body fat percentage.

    Marclarjo: Don't worry about the gym. Stick with your diet goal and you'll get there.

    I don't agree w/ this statement.
    By going to the gym, or just walking/biking around, you'll get to your goal faster/healthier.

    Instead of just reducing your calorie-intake, by working out, you can eat a little more while building muscle (which burns more calories).
    Try lifting weights.


    I'm 4'11" and I'm about 5# from goal weight. But my main focus is to reduce body fat, so I can actually SEE the muscle definition from all that heavy lifting!

    5' 2'' and currently at 125ish. I don't care so much about the weight. I am trying to lower my body fat percentage and gain muscle. I would be perfectly happy staying the same weight with less fat and more muscle =)

    I'm 5'3. And right now, I'd just be thrilled to weigh less than 200 pounds.
    I swear I'll do a happy jig when the scale reads "199!" =)
    Other than that, I think anywhere from 140-160 will be my healthiest zones.

    I'm 5' 3/4" so almost 5'1" lol. My 1st goal is to be 132lbs (highest weight in healthy bmi) & go from there. After I hit 132lbs, I'll work more on muscle definition & less on the number in the scale. I'm naturally curvy & like to stay on the thicker side (:

    I'd like to always weigh LESS than 145-150. My ultimate if life were perfect goal is 115-125. I'll be happy with 130-135.

    5'3, if I can get between 140 and 150 would be awesome. Anything 140 below, is just pure awesome. :)

    5'1". CW 151. I'm more focused on lowering body fat percentage but I think that 125-130 will be okay. I was at 132 pounds 4 years ago and felt comfortable but would have liked to have had more muscle tone in a few areas.

    I'm 5'4" (163 cm), and stared my weight loss journey in December 2011. I was (80 kg) at the time. I'm currently 143 lb (65 kg) and goal is to get to 132 lb (60 kg) this autumn. Originally my goal was 128 lb (58 kg), which would get smack middle of my healthy BMI, but I'll see how I feel once I've gotten down to 60 kg.
