    5'2" goal is 128 lbs (weight before having a kid) , 125 lbs would be bonus.

    Was 119 lbs as a teen, but that may be too thin.
    At peak I was 140 lbs. Now at 132 lbs. Always have exercised (now biking moderately hard and walking dogs), have good leg definition, need to lose on belly and arms. Am 51 so neck is arthritic (falls from horse back riding probably), upper body lifting is difficult as it triggers neck...so dieting is my only hope there!

    Hello, I started today...my goal weight is 115-120 I am 5'1" and weigh 146.4. I was always active and in shape but now not so much. It would be great to have a weight loss/workout buddy to be accountable to. I used to workout with someone back home and it was so motivating! If I didn't feel like hitting the gym she would head out anyway...so I knew I couldn't have her workout alone so I would show up and vice versa. Let me know if your interested?

    I am 5" 0" and am currently at 180.5. I keep changing my mind on my goal weight just because I have never been at a low weight in my adult life. I am aiming for 130 since I am 52 and not really sure what 130 will look on me.

    5'2 with a goal of 125 - age 37. I feel best at that weight, slim and fit but not 'skinny'. I like a bit of curve and so does my husband! :)

    I'm 5'1". My starting weight was 150. I'm currently at 137. I'm aiming for 125. I was anorexic and borderline anorexic for a number of years, and I'm afraid if I aim lower than that I'll keep aiming lower(!). I want to be a healthy model for my 13-year-old daughter, so I'm trying to focus on eating right and exercising rather than obsessing about the number on the scale.

    Hi, I'm 5'1" and currently 124. I started 2013 at 150 and my goal weight is 110. In October I lost 7 pounds and I want to lose at least 5 pounds by the end of this month. I'd love to have friends with similar stats and goals so we can keep each other motivated.

    5'1" here! I started losing weight after I had a health scare (non weight related though I was extremely overweight) in July. I had to have surgery to remove a polyp in my uterus, found out I had anemia and just felt sick! I weighed 207 and dropped pretty fast after I joined MFP in August. Currently 177 and like to work in baby steps. Current goal is 157 (50 lbs gone and getting my very first ever tattoo!!!) but ultimately would like to be 135. My boyfriend doesn't want me to get too skinny and he doesn't want me that small, but I think once he sees me healthy he will be ok. =]

    Hi everyone! I'm 38 and 5'1". I think the heaviest I may have ever been was around 148 and was down to 118 three years ago. Slowly went up to 140 once more and when I could barely squeeze my butt into my size 8's back in March I started C25K. My UG is to get down to 118 and back into my size 4 clothes... I'm getting close, CW is 124.8 as of this morning so only 6.8 lbs to go!!! I decided I wasn't giving up anything I liked to eat so I've mainly been controlling my portions and I've just been running so it's been slow going but I figure it will be easier to maintain than a diet where I cut everything I like out completely. Need to start adding weights to tone up though so I know the number on the scale will probably go up which I will be okay with as long as the inches go down. Always looking for friends to motivate so feel free to add me.

    I am 5'1 and at this point I would be thrilled if I can just get below 120. I've really been struggling the last couple of months but my ultimate goal is between 110 and 115.

    I'm just under 5'0" and my goal weight is 105. I lost weight two years ago and got down to 115... but gained most of the weight back due to uncontrolled stress eating. :(

    I'd love to have friends with similar goals so that we can keep each other motivated!

    110... ugh... hard to reach for me!

    Same here. I am 5 feet as well. Now currently weighing 114 lbs, coming from around 120. Those 6 pounds make such a huge difference already!! I am a pear shaped girl as well, which means I'll Always have big legs & thighs... Ive been at 100 pounds before and I still had a big bum! I want to get to 110 first, I dont think 100 is a realistic goal for me anymore!!
    I try to work out 3 times a week but usually it ends up being 2 times... I dont really enjoy weight lifting, only doing that with group lessons like bodypump.
    Now only 4 pounds to go to get to a 110 but I've been stagnated at 114 for over a month now.... I need to relaly eat 1200 calories and no more on the days i'm not working out and I do notice that's a hard goal to reach... Anyone else has this problem??

    I swear when I reach 112 I either sabotage myself or I start my period. It sucks. Currently I am trying to weight lift and change my shape instead of trying to reach my goal weight. I feel like maybe if I shift my thinking it will happen on its own.

    I am 5'2". My goal weight is between 120 and 125. I'm currently at 145. My lowest (adult) weight was around 112, but that was because of a side effect of one of my medications that left me with no appetite whatsoever. I think around 120 is a good goal for myself, because I have a medium frame and am a pretty curvy girl.

    Feel free to add me if you would like another friend. :)

    I am 5ft2, current weight is 128lbs, goal weight 110lbs. Just trying to loose the last 18lbs of baby weight. I have already lost 24lbs since April 2013, my baby is 7 months old. I would love to get to target by the time he is one.

    I am 5 ft. 4.5. My starting weight was 278. My current weight is: 229.5, My target weight is 145-155. That is what my doctor thinks is a good number for my build. Once I make it to that target range. I will then decide if I need to try to go lower. I am just happy with the progress I have made in three months.

    I'm 5'0" and weigh 132. A few years ago lost weight using Weight Watchers Core and was down to 118lbs. At that point my husband actually told me not to lose any more weight. My goal now is 125.

    I'm 5'2" and I don't have a goal weight or goal body fat percentage in mind anymore. I used to obsess over it and it drove me crazy. Now I just take things a day at a time, do my best not to focus on numbers, and enjoy the changes in my body as I get smaller, healthier, and stronger with my efforts.

    I am 5ft 1/2 in. I am 32 with 3 children, the youngest being 1 (last month). I am at 118 lbs and I am going for 115 but really wanting 110. After I had my baby I was at 130. Pre-kids I was 98 lbs and I always wanted to be at 110 but couldn't. 25% body fat. My arms are toned my legs are not toooo bad but my mid section is the problem. I have the stretched skin which is horrible too. I have hit a plateau though and I am getting discouraged.

    Don't get discouraged! The ugly truth is that being short does make it harder to loose weight and keep it off, because you only have to slip up once or twice a week to make your weight stagnate or even gain! (at least thats the case for me). How long have you been stagnated now? Don't give up! Just keep at it, your body might take a little longer than you want it to but you will get there. And if not, 118 at 5.1/2 and with 3 children is in my opinon pretty amazing! =)

    5'2 Here... starting weight 180, currently 178... I'm shooting for 140. The lowest I've been in my adult life was 153... and I plateaued FOREVER and got tired of waiting... got lazy.. gained it back over about 2-3yrs. At that time I was in a size 10 and felt I would be pretty happy with only 10-20# lighter. We'll see :) Good luck everyone!
