    I'm 5' 2" and currently 148lbs :sad: the heaviest I have ever been.

    My goal is 126lbs, not because some Government chart tells me, but because I know I was healthy and happy at this weight. However, this was a few years ago now and it's true that the older you get the harder it is! Not that I am ancient, I am 37. Also, I have always been cursed with, lets say, very ample assets which don't seem to budge much when losing weight - so I reckon they must account for at least a stone of my weight right?!! :laugh: :tongue:

    Struggling to know how many cals to aim for at the mo, I think I have eaten too few for too long causing my metabolism to basically give up, and MFP seems to tell me 1200 no matter what stats I put in :huh:

    Hi everyone :)
    I'm 4' 11" and started out weighing 223. I'm now down to 173. My goal is to be around 123, just because that will be 100 lbs. lost. All the charts say I should weigh around 100 lbs., but I know that I would just look sickly then (with my body build).

    I'm 5'2 and want to get down to 125. I haven't seen 125 since I went through a 6 month Police Academy some 12 years ago. Although I am 12 years older, I believe I can do it. Ultimately, I want to be toned and fit and have a healthy BMI. Scale number is a bonus! :happy:

    One thing I would like to make sure everyone on this thread reads:

    You do NOT have to eat only 1200 calories a day. In fact, that is probably too little and stalling you. Also, you really really need to be weight training, not just counting calories and cardio.
    I eat 1500 a day at 104 lbs.
    Too little can be almost as bad as too much.

    I think everyone here should read this thread:

    It's really long but keep reading, there is some great discussion that pertains to all of us "little people".

    I'm not quite five feet but I round up to it! I'm aiming for 115. I got down to 106 2 years ago & that was too thin for my liking.

    Can I join in the smallies club. I'm 5"2 and my goal is 112 pounds. Upto about 5 years ago my regular weight was 106 pound but 3 years at uni plus a mainly desk job has helped my weight to creep up slowly but surely! I don't want to go as low as I used to be because looking back at some pics my face looked quite skinny which is quite strange considering a have a naturally round face and chubby cheeks ha x

    I'm 5'2 with a medium frame. I'd like to be at 125-130 before getting a tummy tuck at the end of the year (pregnancy was not good to me) and 115-120 as an ideal weight.

    I'm 5'2 and I'm aiming for around 140 to start. I'd love to hit 130 again, but not sure I'd look healthy. Anything lower than my current weight would be great!! Struggling with this venture in life and hoping spring will get here soon in order to get out and walk with friends.

    I'm 5' and aiming for 130. Once I get close, I'll re-evaluate to see if that's a good goal.

    I don't think I have the frame to weigh less -- I can feel the bones of my hips and ribs, and I don't foresee them getting smaller. But I'm far off for now, so we'll see when I get there!
