    I'm 5'1" ish and have been maintaining around 143 lbs for the past month or two. I'm torn daily between feeling way better than I did at 160lbs, and still feeling fat. The problem is I weighed 145 when I was 12 years old, AND I'm in better shape now, so I'm already the thinnest I've ever been in my adult life. Losing any more weight is just hard to imagine. For now, I'm going to switch my focus to getting in better shape. Maybe I can raise my metabolism a little and then try and drop 10 more lbs.

    I am 4'11" and just took the test (posted on the previous page) and it said I have a Large Frame. The other chart said I should weigh between 120-134. Thanks so much for posting these, because I had no idea what weight I "should" weigh. Since everything you seefor my height is like 100 pounds and I know that just isn't going to work on my body.

    I have another question for anyone here that has lost a significant amount of weight. Do you all have "hangy" skin from your arms, belly, legs, etc.? I have lost 48 lbs, but I'm still wearing the same jeans I did before losing weight (granted they are loose on me, but they still fit) because I have so much hangy belly skin.

    Yes, I have "hangy" skin on my arms and belly :( From my highest weight ever I have lost a total of 85 pounds. If you do a search, there are many posts on loose skin and excess belly skin/fat. Apparently you can't target exercise to the area specifically, but most say it "should" reduce after a period of time. Good luck to you! Feel free to add me as a friend :)

    I am 5'2, 44 years old. My current weight is 140. I would like to get back to 120. I was happy at that weight and have been lower,
    but feel 120-125 would be ideal for me now. I am concerned being an apple shape, and carrying more weight in the waist. I find it hard to get to a healthy proportion, and need to lose more weight to get the ideal measurement. My waist will always be bigger
    than I'd like. It's just the way I'm built. I am going to keep working to maintain my muscle and lose the fat as much as I can. When
    my weight feels right i will work to maintain that and hope my measurements fall in the healthy zone. I would like to look healthy and hold on to the curves in the right places, but lose the belly. Not an easy task. Good luck to all!

    I'm 5'2 and currently 128 lbs. Would love to drop down to 118 and see how my body changes. I'm a medium frame and apparently between 118-132 is a good weight for me. However, I still have a bit of a belly and my arms needs toning! So I'll lose whatever weight until I have a toned flat tummy.

    I'm 5'2" with a small frame, and my goal is to stay in the 100-110 range; I've made 105 my official MFP goal since that's right in the middle, so at 108 I am in range now and happy. I have been fit and healthy up to about 120, but that was when I was a muscular teen training in competitive martial arts 15+ hours a week. Now, because I'm less muscular (which doesn't bother me), I start looking a little chunky if I hit 112-115. My heaviest weight was 133 a few years ago, and at that weight I was a full four sizes bigger than I am now and very round. I am happy with my goal range of 100-110 because in that range, I am thin (but not skinny), curvy (but not chubby), and well-defined (but not muscle-y).

    I am 5'2" and shooting for 140...but I also have a lot of base muscle (even when I was at 175, people truly thought I was about 130).

    I'm also 5'2" (or 5'2.5") and when I was lightest during my adult life, I was ranging between 125-135 lbs. So my current goal is about 135. I haven't done the frame test in a while, but I remember being either medium or large frame. I carry most of my weight around my hips and thighs (thanks to my Hispanic heritage!), and I doubt I'd ever be able to feel comfortable at 115. But, who knows? I figure when I get down to the low 140s, I can reassess my goals and see where I feel comfortable. Really, as long as I feel healthy and fit back into my size 6 pants, I'll be happy!
