  • I'm 5'1" - my goal is to have a 300+ lb deadlift and for my squat to be the same or at least not far off. I actually don't really care how much I weigh if/'when I achieve that, because... well... 300lb deadlift!

    That's what I thought, too. Haha, Now I am dealifting 450, and I still have some major layers of fat, even cellulite! My goal weight is 120, because I know that with my muscle, any smaller would be impossible without compromising my muscle. I'm 5'1.

    i'm 5'4"

    considering my current weight is around 215 (haven't stepped on a scale in almost a month), my 1st goal is 165, but long run would love to dangle around 140.

    I started at 273, got down to 183 pretty quick... hit some medical problems, back up to 225 and working it back down.

    I'm 5'3" and carry all my weight in my stomach. Based on current body composition even 125 would have me looking fat. This is what a 20 pound weight loss does for my gut, from 153 to 133. I got down to 129 and there was no significant change. It's hard to say what my goal is because I know I need to start lifting weights to get rid of body fat and build muscle.

    I'm 5'3" and the weight I was happiest at was 124lbs. The smallest I've been since being an adult was 118lbs and I think I looked too thin, but at the moment I'm 136lbs and think I look too chubby! So I suppose 122-126lbs is what I'm after.

    Little Miss V - you are me to a T! My numbers match yours almost exactly! Looking a little bit chubby right now for a 5'3" gal, and I am a few pounds heavier than you at the moment and hating the way I feel. The BF says I look great and plies me with food and alcohol, so he doesn't help!!! :sad:

    But I too would be thrilled with anything in the 125 range.

    This number has changed over the years. I'm 5'4" and I used to aim for the low 120's, but now I'm quite a bit older and my goal is 133ish. I'm pretty thin or at least I feel really good at that weight. A few more would be nice. :) It's been years since I've been under 130lbs. I'm about 7 lbs. from my goal right now. I'm currently eating about 1,300 calories a day and questioning if this number is right for me. I haven't been the most active person lately. I need to study up and figure it out.

    I'm 5'3" and my ultimate goal is 120, although I feel like I'll never get there at this rate...

    5'3 and my goal is 114, but I'm naturally very little with a tiny rib cage/hands/feet. I think body fat percentage is a better thing to aim for :) I'm aiming for 20% body fat :) Good luck with your journey! Feel free to add :)

    Right now 20% body fat, to squat my body weight, and to Bench 60% of my body weight

    Love these goals!! I might adopt them, but at the moment it seems unrealistic as I'm no stronger than a three year old!

    My goal is 115-120 (130 now), but measurements are my big thing since I'm naturally very.. curvy. My goal measurements: 34-23-34. :)

    5'2 - no weight goal because I just don't care what the scale says. What I do care about is how I look in the mirror which comes down to body composition. I was down to about 20% BF this time last year and after 6 months of traveling for work, the BF% went back up. I would like to get back to the 22-25% range or what ever will keep me in the lower size of jeans that I had been in.

    5'2 and my goal is 135-ish. I will re-evaluate myself when I get into the 160s (another 10 lbs) to see where I am and how much more I really want to push. I can say, I was not happy with myself at 133 (high school and self-esteem issues), but looking at the few pictures there are, I wasn't really all that bad. *shrug*

    I'm 43 and 5'4, I found I feel my best at 125 pds. I try to maintain between 123-128pds, in my younger years I could pull off between 110-120pds, not so much anymore. I got down to 119 pds and I felt it was to thin so I put some more back on. It's just where you feel your best at. That is your ideal weight for you. I love food and used to think I was sugar addict, just couldn't get enough, what I learned over the years is I wasn't eating right for my metabolism, what I've learned and what I am still working on is for my type of metabolism , which is balanced oxidizer, is I feel my best if I try to eat 40% of my calories from carbs, 30% from protein and 30% fat. I have to eat some protein to counteract when I eat a high carb food, with that balance I really do have more energy and my cravings are at bay and I feel satisfied. wonderful feeling. I find a link with the exact info that helped me to learn this....great info!!! It will help you, take a look. / slow or fast oxiders require a different %'s of #'s than I what works for me, to learn what type you are , go to: http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/weight-loss/metabolic-types-eating

    I'd like to be in a size 6 or an 8 (US sizing). I am in a 10 now and figure I need to lose another 10 or 15 lbs, which would put me at 130-135.

    I'm 5'2" and my goal is to lose 80 lbs in 4 months. My goal is to become better at running and be more athletic. I am focusing on pushing myself and burn calories and to not eat back the calories that I burn.
  • I'm 5'4 and trying to get down to 143, currently I'm 10lbs over, walking everyday and watching my intake. My goal is to be down by March 15, 2014. I will keep you posted!

    I'm 5'3", 36 (nearly 37). If my conversion is right, I weigh about 149 now, would like to get down to 135 ish, but have been bouncing around 150 for about 6 months. Goal - to avoid getting type 2 diabetes like other members of my family..
  • I'm a tiny bit over 5'4", but my goal is 136. When I am 136 I can wear a size 6 (petite). Once I went nuts and weighed about 125, and then I was fitting into size 2-4, but I can't maintain that weight and many people asked me if I was sick.

    I am 5'1" and my goal is 120. I have been there before and I really liked the way I looked and felt at that weight. Only 26 pounds to go... :sigh:

    I am 5'4", and my goal is 195.

    I did start off pretty big, so 195 is doable. I can't think past that.

    I had my body fat measured, and then figured what I would weigh if I could train hard, keep all my lean mass, and lost enough to be at 20% body fat. That gives me a goal of 145. I'm 5'2". I'm 188 lbs now wearing a size 12.

    I'm 5'2" and my goal is 65 kilos (143lbs). When I get there, then I'll reassess. I might well do better with another 5 kilos off.
