    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.

    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 :(

    I am 5'2" and when I was in my 20s I fluctuated from 95lbs to 115lbs. In my 30s, and after my kids I was between 122-125lbs. I am now in my late 40s and looking at my frame etc I believe 125-130lbs will look good on me - so 35lbs to get to 130, and 40 to 125. I will see what things look like when I get to 130lbs.

    I'm 5' 1&3/4", haha - don't really reach the 5'2" mark.

    I started off at 130, and my goal is to be 118-120, with some muscle.

    feel free to add me shawties ;-)

    I'm 5'2 and current weight is 132. My dr said my weight is good. I prefer 110-120 for my small frame. I care more about the way my clothes fit so get in 4/6 again and weight 130 I would be happy.

    I'm just short of 5'2'' and have a pretty muscular build. My goal is at about 118-119lbs.

    I started at 189-190 and am now at 126-127, so closing in on that goal, though slower than at the beginning.

    I am currently striving to get below 200..... Gosh ... That is hard to admit.
    I have lost 17 pounds so far. I am setting my goal at 165.
    I am over 50 and know I could never get down to what I was in my twenties.
    Good luck everyone
    Don't set your goals to low just because we are short!!!
    We can be short and curvaceous!!!!

    I just joined myfitnesspal and hope it works for me. I'm 5'2" at 211 lbs. I once was a size 2 and am now a size 14w. I hope I can get down to a size 6 or 8 for starters. I think 125-130 lbs would look best for me. I have a ways to go! Good luck to you all!
