5ft tall women.....what is your goal weight??

wendybirdgirl · February 2014

I am 5'1", and 47 yrs. old. My current weight is 151, and my goal weight is 125. I feel like I may ultimately want to be 115, which is what I weighed about 14 years ago. But, I need to have a goal that I feel I can reach realistically. Right now, 125 seems enough of a battle for me.

I'm 32 and 5'2. In high school I weighed in the 112-125lb range and I was extremely bony aside from my muscled calves and thighs. Every single bony prominence in my body stuck out big time :S So my goal weight is very high compared to most-I think 135 will be a healthy weight for me. The lightest I've been in my adult life was 150 and I was a size 8/9 and felt I could lose another 10-15lbs and be lean, fit, and healthy. So I guess it really depends on your body composition.

Hey there! I'm 5'2" inches (so not so far away!) I'm going for about 150lbs, but I have a large frame and I'm already pretty muscular. In all honesty I think a goal weight is really something that's individual to the person. You could be 5'0" and nothing but lean muscle and weigh 120lbs, but look 105. All in all I go with measurements like your waist, bust, and hip to see any real differences. And if you want to avoid the scale or a tape measure just see how much you've lost by which size of clothes you can wear now. You get to go shopping and feel better about yourself!

Hi~ I'm 5 " 1 and my goal weight is to be 105pounds! I'm currently 116lbs so that's about 10 lbs to go.

I'm 5'0" and currently ~122 lbs but my lowest was 116 and highest was 163. At my current weight I have a bf% of ~30. My ultimate goal is to be about 115 lbs but at a significantly lower body fat, something like 20-22%.
Even at 116 lbs, I don't feel particularly thin. Right now at 122 I wear a size 7 in pants. I think to be thin enough to have a flat stomach, without adding muscle, I would need to be around 100 lbs.

My first goal is to get to 160 my second will prob be 140 or a size 10

I'm 5 ft 3 (am I too tall? Lol) In high school I was thin at 112 and though I would love to be that weight again, I have set a more realistic goal of 125. My lowest as an adult was 125 and it was a healthy, comfortable weight for me.

Wow....thanks for all the feedback! It seems like the GW of 117 was right compared to all of your #'s. I guess I just can't ever imagine weighing that little, so it was kind of mind boggling to me.

One thing to mention, I've only lost 7.5 lbs so far, but today a co-worker of mine did comment on the loss. That felt great! When you're a shorty, EVERY pound shows.....but on the other hand, EVERY pound LOST shows too

I'm looking for some new MFP friends, so please feel free to add me.

My goal weight is between 110-115lbs. Though I was 140lbs at one point and still looked thin. But, I was 'skinny fat' lol.

GeekdGirl · February 2014

i'm 5'2"ish and I hover around 150 lbs right now. Ideally, I'd like to be more around 120. The weight doesn't matter as much as the pants size does to me. I just feel like I'll never be one of those girls who weigh 100 lbs only. I just don't have the frame.

Definitely this! I'm about 5'2" and have a goal weight of 145 lbs, but I want to be a tone 145 (tone=muscle).

kozlow27 · February 2014

I'm 5'1" and 32 years old. In my profile photo I an 123 lbs and wore a size 6 jeans. I was on the higher side of the 'healthy' BMI range at 123 lbs but I also had a lot of lean muscle. I would like to get back to 125 lbs but would be happy at ~130.

MadeInDR022 · February 2014

I'm aiming between 135-140...At that point I want to start toning up, so who knows where I'll end up.

Littlestandrews · February 2014

I'm just shy of 5ft and started out at 169lbs. Right now I am at 145lbs and my UGW is 117lbs. To be honest, once I hit the 120s, I'm going to re-evaluate because my body composition is a little weird. Right now I wear a slightly tight size 4, so I'm guessing that with another 20lbs down, I should be in a comfortable size 2 and might just be happy with my size.

Whitezombiegirl · February 2014

I'm 5ft 0 and I was happiest at around 100ish pounds. I was still healthy at this weight and danced alot. I'm looking to lose about 10 pounds to get there. It'll be about half a pound per week- which is fine by me. If i gain muscle and the weight goes up, I'll be happy with it- i just don't want to jiggle in the wrong places!

strawmama · February 2014

I am 5'2 and for right now, my goal weight is 140ish. I want to see myself at that point before I try for any lower. I have a friend who is my height and weighs 98lbs soaking wet and to me that is WAY too skinny. She looks like a twig.

MissLakeTime · February 2014

I'm 5'1, 38 yo, goal weight 125 lbs. Feel free to add me . I appreciate friends especially that have an open diary. I really think that helps!

CookieEmporium · February 2014

I'm 4'11" and look and feel good at 112-115. I have a small frame, so, I start getting love handles, etc, above 115. Below 112 I'm tired and really don't look as good naked.

brandi712 · February 2014

I'm 5 foot, 37yo, and my goal weight is 105-107. I have about 5-7 pounds left to go. I've always been on the small side. I graduated high school weighing 97.

moparjer · February 2014

Hi! I'm also 5'0". I had written down from somewhere online that for my height, a healthy weight is between 98-132 lbs. Years ago, I got down to 104 lbs. but that was really TOO thin! That was a few years ago and right now, I'd be happy to be around 115 lbs. Take care!

sanfromny · February 2014

I'm 5'2" 37y/o and currently 161 btwn size 8 & 10. My ultimate goal is to be 145 which was my high school weight when I was most fit and a true size 6. For me this will be very proportionate because I am very busty (G cup) which has not changed even with my 60lb weight loss thus far.
