5'4-5'5 women goal weight

I'm 5'4" and my goal range is 125-130. That's the weight I was in high school, when I was playing basketball and softball. Now I'm 55 but still like to be be active - hiking, bicycling, and starting to do a little weight lifting and running. So my goal weight is as much about what I can do as how I look. I'm also quite busty, always have been, so I have to allow a couple pounds for that!

I've been 120 a couple times in my life and it's too low for me. I wear a size 6, give or take depending on brand, at my current 128 lbs.

I'm 5'4" starting at 155. I'm hoping to get to 130 but am not super stressed about the number. I want to get muscle tone more than anything so am working on that. I started tracking my measurements, as I think it is a better way to judge my recomping body.

I'm 5'4 I hit my goal of 145 a few weeks ago. I'm now 143. I'm happy here. I'm currently focusing on maintaining and strength training. As in the past, I expect with added muscle the scale will move up. I'm okay with that. Good luck to you all!

5'5" and Goal125 pounds (or UK 8 stone 13pounds) although as others have said measurements are more important to me, I'd like to be a size UK 10 (US 6)

The scale is a guide really, the tape measure tells the real story, I think that's why everyone's scale goals are so different. Also where you carry your weight makes a massive difference to your goals just look at Christina Hendricks from madmen, tiny waist slim neck and generous curves.

My problem is my gut, I'm an apple/inverted triangle (take your pick) I don't really mind my bust or hip measurement now I'm 140 pounds (10stone) but I'd like to get my belly measurement into the 20's instead of the 30's to reduce the jeans overhang. :P

I'm 5'5 and am currently 148. I would like to be my 2 year ago weight of 118, anyone want to be accountability friends!?

I find myself losing a couple pounds here or there, but as soon as I gain them back I lose motivation

I can't seem to tighten my stomach to save my life! Even at 118 I still had a bit of a pooch.

I'm 5'4 145 and looking to lose 20 pounds does anyone have any ideas how to lose it fast. I've been doing hip hop abs but it's so repetitive and I quickly lose interest.

I'm 5'4 currently at my goal weight between 128-130lbs. I've always been the athletic type too but I do have a small frame. I'm still working to lower my body fat by lifting heavy. Congrats on getting to your lowest weight!

5'5 and i'm not sure what my goal weight is since i'm more so working towards a goal size. my goal size is size 6 pants. i really couldnt care less what i weigh once I get to my goal size .

I agree with this. I do have a goal weight, and it is nice to see the scale go down; however, my clothes fitting better gives me a better feeling than the changing scale. I think it's okay to set a goal weight, but that is a little difficult if you are muscular or building muscle mass.

I'm 5'4". My long-term goal is 140, which is near the top of the normal BMI range for my height. I'll re-evaluate when I'm closer to my goal, because I might want to go lower or I might just want to switch focus to body recomposition (lowering BF%).

My goal is also around 140, I started at 271 and am now at 213. My aunt lost a lot of weight, and she and I have similar body types, and she looks SKINNY at 140, so I guess it just depends on you. We have pretty decent boobage, but I also have a ton of muscle in my legs, so I think anything below that for me would look weird.

Plus I carry most of my weight around my middle, so whatever I weigh when the gut is finally reasonably minimized will probably make me happy!

Amen to that sister!

Get the book called "Why Weight Around" this doctor has a plan to lose weight fast then you can keep it off once you reach your goal. I have been on the diet for 8 days and I have lost 12 pounds! the first three days are the worst. After that it is a breeze!!

I am on a diet and exercise plan. I am 5'5". My goal is 150. I think being thinner than that you run the chance of looking sickly. However, if you are young, (I am 41) your skin and body should respond to more weight loss.

I would like to say most women want to be thinner than that but if you line up a woman with a few extra pounds in just the right places and a very skinny girl, they will always pick the one with the curves! Men love curves! not bones!

This is actually something I am concerned about. I am a busty girl. What do they call it? Apple-shaped? Well, anyway, the bridal salon recently told me that I am a size 12 top and size 8 bottom, so I am definitely concerned with losing some of the curves I have on the bottom. Does anyone know how to build muscle in the hips, thighs, butt area? I'm hoping I can just replace my "fat" curves with muscular ones. lol

Weighted squats, deadlift, hip thrusts or glute bridges, Bulgarian split squats, and walking lunges Hip thrusts or glute bridges work your glutes and hamstrings specifically, but the other lifts all work basically your whole lower body, with minor differences in emphasis depending on your form.

If you don't go to a gym, you can do most of these at home with dumbbells and still get a decent workout. Deadlift and squats are the most difficult to do without a barbell and plates, but it is possible. If you DO go to a gym and you don't know how to do these lifts, ask someone (a personal trainer, someone who works there, or just somebody who you've seen do the lift that looks friendly) to make sure your form is right when you start. Also, look them up on YouTube to watch tutorials on how to do them. Injuring yourself at the beginning of your journey is so unnecessary.

I`m 5ft 3 and my goal weight is 120lbs.

i'm 5'5" and 55, so for me I put it in perspective.. do I want to be as skinny as I was in my 20's ? nope...my heaviest was 198 (depression, loss of a husband) a long time before mfp. however, I've been at my goal weight for 2 years now I think, 135. if I get lower than my goal weight, I gotta watch it because I ride bike every day and exercise every day.
