Hi everyone!

I was just sitting her browsing the boards and seeing the different amounts of weight people want to lose.

I am 5 ft 2'' and I want to lose 28-32 lbs which will take me to a weight that I think I will be happy at (though its been a while since I was last there!).

If you are female and about 5 ft 2' tall what weight is your ideal goal weight?

Just interested!

Alicia.

PS: I Know its all about how everyone feels, healthy weight and BMI etc etc, I am just curious!
«134

    5"2 and I'm aiming for a realistic 130, given that I'm in my 50s.

    Hello :flowerforyou:

    I am 5'2" and currently 151lbs. My goal is right now 135lbs. I use to want to be 105lbs as this is what I was before kids, but.... I was too thin, so I am thinking maybe at the end I wanna be 120lbs.

    Add me :) would love friends in similar fitness goals.

    I'm only 4'11", I'm 51 yrs old, I'm 158 lbs right now, having lost 10 pounds in about 6 wks.
    My goal is 140 lbs by December 2014.
    I know my goal puts me far out of the optimal BMI spectrum, but I feel it's a realistic and comfortable goal for me.

    I'm 5'2, 33 years old, and my goal weight is 120. From what I've read its about in the middle for my age and height. I'm currently 180 lbs so I've got another 60 lbs to lose, but I'm aiming 5 lbs at a time.

    150, then I'll reevaluate. I think I'd be happiest at 130. I'd like to keep some curves.

    I'm somewhere between 5'2" and 5'3"... I though I was taller, lol, but I guess my dad just shrunk.. My goal is set to 124lbs but I think I'd really like to be around 120 but that's subject to change I guess. I care more about bf%. My profile pic is me at about 130lbs and somewhere around 29% bf when I use a measuring tape to calculate.

    I am 5'1, and while I have previously had a goal weight in mind based on what I was many years ago, I eventually changed it to "when I look in the mirror and say, yeah, that's it". I suspect that will be around 110, but who knows until I get there.

    I'm 5'3.5 and my goal weight is 130lbs. Currently I'm at 177lbs.
    I may feel differently the closer I get to my goal weight, but for now, that's what I'm reaching for :)

    5'1" here! My first goal is to reach down to 180. If I can get there and maintain that, I'll go further down to 150. But I would actually love to be 130. But realistically 150 is okay with me. :)

    My current goal weight is 110. But I might go just a little lower, but I feel like I'd be satisfied at 110 so I'll stick with that weight for now.

    I've gained almost a stone recently and am now 121 lbs at 5' 2".
    I'd like to lose around half a stone to get to 114, which I think is just right for me.
    My previous weight of 108 made me too skinny and was unsustainable.
    I'm almost 37 with two young girls and can't shift the belly, that's where all my weight goes!!

    Hi, I'm 5'2", 45 years old. Started MFP at around 190lb.

    I thought back in 2011 that I'd want to be about 120lb, but now at 150lb I think 130 is much more healthy, and would settle for heavier than that if it's mostly muscle.

    Sometimes it's difficult to tell until you get there? :flowerforyou:

    I'm 5' 2" and 45 years old. Started at 142 and now weigh 124. Want to be at 118. This weight is in the middle of my BMI and my nutritionist agreed it would be great for me. These last 5 lbs are really, really hard for me to lose!

    I'm 5'2, currently 226lbs, so my goal weight is a bit of an unknown at the moment. It's been a long time since I was under 14.5 stone! I like to eat and I'm curvy naturally so I don't expect to ever be teeny, but I'm aiming eventually for about ten stone (140 lbs). I think that's sensible. However, I'm planning on taking my time in getting there - once it happens I want it to be for good. We'll see what happens on the way.

    5'2" current 150... would be happy with 130 but my goal is 110

    To start off I am a guy ... Got my attention because I am 5'2'' also. I gained back 15 pounds so struggling to get back down. I want to get to 115 but lowest I ever got was 122. I was starting to see good muscle definition (not necessarily what a women's goal is) but I felt I needed about 5-10 pounds lower even at 122.

    Now here is something to throw in... I may never get the muscle definition or figure I really want. After being heavy most of my life I lost 100 pounds... so I got saggy skin syndrome. I for sure dont want to get surgery due to both cost and some of the side effects like phantom pain where they cut nerve endings.

    I am happy between 120-125 though. 112-115 would be icing on the cake.

    I'm 5'2 and I want to be about 125, if that's realistic. Maybe 120? 120-125, at least. :)

    I'm 5'3" and would like to get to a fit 120. However my 5'1" sister is a healthy 110, so in a perfect world 115 would be cool too. :)

    I'm 5'3" and my goal weight is 125. I'm 38 and haven't seen 125 since I graduated highschool and thought I was hot stuff. I think I could be happy around 150 though. That's where I was before I started having kids. I've a looooong way to go regardless :(
