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

I am 5'3 and 127. I would like to get to 115 lbs. I don't remember the last time I weighed as small as 115 lbs. At my highest I was 145 lbs. Just gotta bump up the workouts and should get there soon!

5'2" and goal is 150. It's a weight that looks good on me. If I can get down to 135, great but no lower, for some reason I look sick at that point.

A doctor will tell that you should weigh around 110 at 5 foot. After that add ten pounds to every inch in height and that is a healthy weight for a typical woman.
I am a little taller than this group (5'4) but not by much. I currently weigh 143.
My goal weight is 138.

I'm 5'2 and 136 currently. Would like to get down to 120 lbs but don't know how I'll look/feel. My lowest adult weight was 108, I looked to boney and could not maintain. That was 10 years ago, after a bad break-up. All weight came back on in no time plus some more... Will be 40 this year so am very excited about my new me... Hope can look awesome on my birthday in a few months...

Anyone have pics how 120 looks on them on a 5'2 height. Would also be great to know the bodyfat percentage!

Don't remember where i read it....But, I once read that at 5ft one should weight 100lbs, every inch after that is another 5 lbs. So me, for example at 5'3 1/2, I should weigh 117 1/2 ish pounds. I don't really like weighing that low tho, I feel I look best at about 121-125 So really it's all what YOU like yourself at!!!
Good luck on your journey!

That's a guide, nothing more. I'm 5'2" and have never been 110, the goal weight per that system, and definitely would not like myself at that weight.

5'2", 104 today. In principle, I'd like to get back down to 100 and then reassess. I've been in the 90s in the past. (Nope, no ED, perfectly healthy.) But I'm under a lot of stress at the moment and merely keeping my weight in this range is an exceptional effort.

Hi,

I'm 5'1 and currently weigh 130.6. My body fat% is 28 % (!) The lightest I have been at this height was in high school when I weighed 113. I have pictures of myself weighing 130 with 24% body fat.

My current goal is to get to 21% body fat so I am aiming to get down to 120. I have been at 120 lbs two years ago when I was getting ready for a half marathon. I was not lifting weights and with clothes on I looked great but without clothes I was shapeless.

With my current body fat% I have been aiming for 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fat which has been recommended to me by several people but it feels difficult to maintain. But I have heard that a 40% Carb, 30% Protein and 30% fat macro breakdown also works for mesomorph body types when cutting. I am also doing the Jamie Eason workout.

According to Weight Watchers weight ranges for 5' 2": ages 17-25 = 125 (upper target), ages 25-45 = 131 (upper target), and over 45 years old = 137 (upper target). Minimum for all adults of 5' 2" and 17+ years = 109 pounds.
Based on BMI.

Those are guides based on averages drawn from a country whose population is overweight. Not everyone fits into them. I'm 5'2" and was in the low 90s for much of my young adulthood. 109 is a very high weight for me.

Do not presume to tell others what constitutes a healthy weight. That is to be determined by them and medical doctors who have a thorough knowledge of their genetics, weight history, and activity level.

Im 5'1 1/2, I have a relatively small frame and the last time I weighed 100lbs was when I was 17. I look my best when I weigh 100-110. I have hypothyroidism so losing weight is a bit hard. When i was at my heaviest I weighed 178lbs. Now im down to 155-160. I have a small waist, small hips, and a small butt too. So when i gain weight it all goes to my gut and my boobs. Lol. Yay for food babies and big boobs lol.

When I was doing my dietetic internship at a hospital back in '94, we would calculate ideal body weight as mentioned, 100# for the first 5 feet + an additional 5 lbs for each inch...crazy!

How are you doing now weight wise. I am the same height and my goal is 140. I am curvey and anything under 130 looks very sick on me. Im 155 now and I looks so heavty. I really think it all depends on the person.

according to BMI scale the healthy weight range for the following heights are
5'0" should be anywhere from 97lbs to 123lbs
5'1" should be anywhere from 100lbs to 127lbs
5'2" should be anywhere from 104lbs to 131lbs

I am 5'1" and weighed 98lbs, I don't want to be that small, my goal is 115. That was a good weight for me. I looked healthy and had nice curves, and I felt great.
Each of us are different in build and body type so, the 97 lbs that looks fantastic on my friend makes me look like I am on the brink of death. The friend who has a slightly bigger frame looks great at 130 but I still have some extra rolls... We are all the same height just built much differently as well as carry our weight in different areas.

I am 5'2" and currently 125. I have lost about 10 pounds and still have a few more to go. Basically I don't care how much I weigh, I just want a FLAT STOMACH which I do not have yet. I am thinking between 115 and 120 should be about right, but we will see. I was 92 pounds when I was 22 years old, am 44 now so NOT going to get back to that LOL

Hi Sarah Jane135, I apologize for comment about "me"looking sick. I am new to the the website so I have to learn how to be careful with the words I choose. Please accept my a apology or to anyone else. That may have been my response to seeing so many people write that " if you are 5'0 you should weight 110 or so". We are all different and I just wanted to express that there is no chart that says where we need to be in weight. I have never been 110 and at 140 I looked so small. Sorry again. Just wanted to share my personal story. :-)
