anyone 5'4" 5'5" and 145 lbs and happy?

I'm 5'5 and 130lbs. I am happy most of the time, but really would like to lose another 6-8lbs and I think then I'd be perfect for me. I have either plateaued or because of lots of writ training or the combination of both I seem to be stuck at 130lbs and have been for 12 months! But that's okay, my goal is more so to gain muscle and lose body fat %.

I am 5'5" and I weigh 145... I am very happy. But the world needs to stop worrying about the number that appears on the scale or in your pants. I am a state champion in powerlifting at 18 years old... and I have an amazing body. Not meaning to brag, but I am very healthy. I want girls to realize that the number on the scale doesn't matter. It's what you look like. The real trick is to build up some muscle to tone your body. I don't mean to start lifting heavy like I do, because not everybody is into that, but it has gotten me my great body. Most people think I weigh around 110, and then when I tell them I lift and I weigh 145, they are absolutely baffled. The only reason that my goal weight is 135 is because I would like to be a little lower in my 148 weight class so I don't have to worry as much when weigh ins come along. It also makes my pound-for-pound better. Don't worry about the number, worry about how you feel. Don't focus on how many calories you eat and how much running you do. Just eat HEALTHY things when you're hungry, and do a little strength training. Push ups, crunches, kickbacks. Whatever. But if you want AMAZING results just start lifting heavy. I'd also like to clarify that it's a lot more attractive to people when a girl isn't a complete stick like you see in the magazines. Just do what you need to make you happy, not the scale. Who cares about BMI? According to mine, I'm overweight, and that's bull.

I am 5'4.5", medium build, and weigh 160 at the moment...a size 10 in pants or dresses. At 145 I was more like an 8 pants or 6 dresses. At 135 I was more like a 6. That's my goal to be more like 130-135. But everyone looks different at the same weight.

I'm 5'4, with a ultimate goal weight of 140lb. So in for the answers.

I'm 5'4" and about 145-147 and I'm about 26% body fat... I'm happy but I still am trying to lose more body fat. I could stay the way I am forever and still be happy. I wear about a size 8 pants and a size 4 dress.

N/M. This post wasn't aimed at me. I can't read. lol

First thing i would like to say is "WOW! This post is awful". Alot of us are women who hate our bodies. As much as we would like to able to predict the future of what we will physically look like, what our body fat % will be and how happy we will be with our progress it's really not possible to get a true answer. We are all different and really can't be compared.

We are all ALWAYS works in progress. Sad, that most of us will probably never be satisfied with our appearance, but that's what drives this common goal we all share.

Comparison is bad. I weigh 170/29% body fat. Some of you at 145ish i look thinner than. Some of you at 160+ you look significantly larger than me when i weigh more.

I know this kind of comparison will not end here, but wow. Realizing i will probably always think i need to loose weight is really a sad reality check. My heart dropped reading through these pages because i am also 5'4 with a goal of 150 pounds.

I have to say this: Ultimately you won't be happy until you gain confidence. If you only need to lose weight and are generally at peace than that's all you need- but if you have been several different weights and are still unhappy then the issue is deeper. Unfortunately, what's inside is actually HARDER to fix- even a model with low self esteem is unattractive... you have to be someone people want to be around which means exuding an awesome energy.
Anyways, the numbers don't have as serious of an effect as your BF percentage and measurements. 120 and 35% body fat is far from what your ideal may be....contrariwise, I'm 160 pounds, 5"5 and a size 6, my BF is around 25% and I can wear a bikini most days.
It's all about how the weight is distributed on your body.

I was never happy at 145, but I look back at photos of myself when I weighed 145 and realize I looked amazing!

I'm 5'5" and my lowest weight was 150. I had six pack abs and wore a size six (and it wasn't tight). I don't know my BF%, but based on the amount of muscle I had I'm guessing it was decent. I think a lot of it depends on how you are built and what kind of exercises you do. Once I have my baby getting back down to 150s is my goal.
