Goal weight for women who are 5'1-5'2

Right now I weigh 115 pounds and I am 5'1". I'm 23 years old and this is the closest I've gotten to my high school weight. I believe in high school I consistently weighed 108 pounds. I've been dealing with a painful breakup since the end of January and have since lost about 20 pounds- before the breakup I weighed 134. I noticed a huge change in the slimness of my face, and my body seems a lot more lean. I started losing weight from lack of appetite due to depression and as the time went by, I started exercising to maintain my new weight. I prefer to exercise at least five times a week if not everyday. You have to allow yourself at least one day a week to rest, but I feel that my metabolism rebounds pretty quickly if I don't have a consistent exercise schedule.

The best recommendation I have for everyone is to cut out any beverages other than water. I stopped drinking diet soda over a year ago and haven't looked back since. I may very occasionally treat myself to a glass of sweet tea since I'm from the south, but for the majority of the time I only drink water. At first this posed a challenge because water seemed unappealing, bland and boring. But overtime your body habituates to it and soon, it's the only thing that can quench your thirst!

Secondly, I cut out virtually all snacking in between meals. If you feel hungry in between meals, drink a glass of water and wait 20 minutes. If your hunger subsides, then it was just boredom. If after 20 minutes you are still hungry, treat yourself to a snack of your favorite veggie or fruit.

Don't eat after 8 pm- or at least shoot for this goal time frame. The food you consume after this time is more likely to sit in your belly and turn into fat if you simply go to bed right after consumption. If you're hungry before bed, force yourself to go to sleep- you can eat in the morning!

Try not to consume fruit juice- that is a hidden risky beverage, because often times fruit juices are loaded with just as much sugar as regular soda.

Also, I cut out fries completely from my diet. When at a restaurant, I pair my entree with salad most of the time, but if I'm wanting to treat myself, I'll order sweet potato fries instead because they tend to be healthier. (keyword healthier, but not a good regular thing to eat.)

Find fun things to do while exercising. I usually try to walk 3-5 miles around the lake everyday. During this time I either call a friend, listen to music, or take in the scenery. This helps to engage you in exercising rather than seeing it as a burdensome chore.

Here's to losing five more pounds- my goal!

Im 5'1.5 , 44 and SW two weeks ago 130---need to weigh this week--have been doing at least 60 minutes of cardio 5x a week with amped up protein intake. The lowest I ever was 112-121 in high school, the heaviest 135 during bouts of depression, stress and transitions & drinking alcoholic beverages. I stopped drinking at 23 and have maintained a range between 121-130 since. I was always very energetic and active, ate reasonably healthy & balanced....never a soda lady, but always loved cranberry, grape, apple, grapefruit and other juices that have added sugars....have since eliminated except occasional to add flavor to club soda while out or honey in herbal tea...this has helped a lot!! Having active jobs also helps...and staying active. Ive been unemployed, care taking parents and working with a tight budget, I know that sleep habits & stress can help or hurt too. Trying my best to fight off anxiety & depression with weight gain by seeking endorphin rush of exercise.

. I am very busty even when I lose weight, so as another poster mentioned how off balance we can look if we get to lower weights... to look balanced a range between 118 and 125 with muscle seems best on/for me and I would even say at this age, muscle tone is so much more important to prevent continual weight gain, to prevent osteo & keep strong bones & joints strong...I am also finding stretching, core exercise, pilates and light weights to be helping shape up & firm all around, the tummy is a struggle but even that is getting better--combination of water, adequate protein, balanced caloric intake & exercise, going my own pace realizing the facts of slowing metabolism & natural aging process,,,gonna fight it as best I can and as smart as I can. Best wishes and I agree that its not about a number, more how you feel & overall health & vitality & body fat vs muscle/lean

I'm 5'2 and my CW is 133. I started here at 144. My first goal is 127, but I may adjust that to 122. I was tiny until my mid twenties, then I started to fluctuate. I never got above 133 before having a baby. I look thinner now at 133 than I did prebaby.

I'm 5'2" and 137 lbs. I have a small frame and would like to get to 110-115.

I am 133 pounds, 5'2. Goal is 125. I weighed about 105 in early 20's and 115 in early 30's.

I'm 5'2 and a half-ish. Currently fluctuating between 135-137, but ideally I would like to go down to 115-120

I'm 5'1 and a half and my goal is 105. I was 110 pre pregnancy and my jeans were getting tight. I weighed 150 at the end of my pregnancy and am now at about 118. The last few pounds are the hardest to drop

I'm 5'2" and my goal weight is 120. I weighed 125 right before I got married and still needed to lose a bit of fat, so I'm shooting for under that.

I am 5'2 my goal weight is 115 =-) I am 128 right now started at 200 ish(That was after having my 11 month old son)

I'm 5'2 and a quarter. Lol
I haven't been below 175 pounds in so many years that I forgot what's it like. My goal is 145 but we'll see.
Good Luck!

4'11 and am 101lbs. I don't necessarily care what the scale say as long as the tape measure and clothes look right

Hi guys! I'm 5' 2"! I have been at worst 160, at best 149. I'm aiming for 138 but that would be a miracle at this rate. How to people determine their frame? (Apologies if this has been answered before!) I went by the thumb and finger round the wrist. I could not imagine any lower for now but I just want to look less wobbly!

There are charts on the web that tell you how to estimate your body frame size. I use a tape measure. I have a small frame, have always been a low weight, and I look pretty wobbly at 108 at 5' 2".

Beyond frame size, individuals vary in how they carry their weight. I don't carry mine well.

I am 5' and 1/2", almost 50 yrs old, and weigh 101 right now. My heaviest was 142. I have a very small frame and my current BMI is 19.7.I have never been accused of being to thin. Mostly depends on your frame. According to Dr, healthy weight range for 5" tall is 95 - 128 and BMI is 18.5 - 25.

I am 5'2" and technically aiming for a goal weight around 100lbs, because I always gain ~5 pounds back when maintaining for some time. BUT I have a very pronounced hourglass shape so it more realistic that I'll stop around 110-115lbs. My personal "it could be less but I feel comfortable enough in my own skin"-weight is somewhere between 140-150lbs, meaning I am not too concerned with the final outcome, as long as it is in a healthy and comfy weight range.

I am 5'2" and am at 207 :sad: currently so if I can manage to get downto 150 I'd be on cloud 9! Ultimate goal weight for me would be 135-140.
