Im 5'3" and im aiming for 120-122 (what I used to weigh back in high school)0

i am 5 2.25 and want to be 128...i am muscular...being 118 is not right for me!0
-
5'4"-5" (depends on who's measuring lol, but somewhere probably between the two) and I'd like to get down to 120.
Eventually, I'd like to go lower not for the # on the scale, but to get really toned and get down to 12-15% body fat. I'm at 19% right now and 140 (got down to 138, but it all came back lol).0 -
I'm 5'1 and have always fluctuated (at least the past 10 years) between 130 and 140. I am usually quite active but my eating habits always get the best of me. My ultimate goal is 125 for weight but I'm just wanting to feel healthy again and feel comfortable in my clothes.
Being petite, a few pounds can make quite the difference...0 -
I have mine set for 135. I'm 5'1" too. I'm naturally bust-y, and my healthiest weight was when I was on active duty in the Army at 138lbs. I looked and felt great. My lowest weight ever was 110, but I was unhealthy and doing drugs at the time :sick: That was years ago.0

I'm 5'3.5" and my first goal is to get down to 145-150. After I reach that goal, I'll see what my next step is. If I'm satisfied with my weight, then I'll maintain. If I feel that I want to lose a little more, then I'll lose a few more pounds. Right now, I'm just happy that this weight loss goal has been successful!0

I'm just under 5' and I fluctuate between 116 and 118 regularly. I was aiming at 110 and was on this site consistently for MONTHS and that weight did not budge. 1 lb or 2 here and there but has not gone down. Of course I became discouraged and stopped for a while. I have decided to use the site more for tracking my exercise and eating habits. Maybe somewhere down the road something will kick in but maybe my body is also telling me this is where it should be? (or maybe that's an excuse of mine?) I don't know... what I do know is I exercise much more now than I have before so at the least, my heart must be healthier. 4-5 times a week with 300-500 calorie burn has to be doing something for my health, right??
I'm about 4'11 (give or take half an inch...lol) and my body likes to rest between 112 and 120. My goal is really more like 95-105, depending on muscle. I hate being this small.
What are you doing for exercise? Maybe bump calories up or down?0 -
I am barely 5'1 and i am aiming for 90lbs. *feels slightly awkward*
I seem to be aiming less then most people here. But thats where id feel most happy with my figure.
I am not curvey in the slightests so those extra lbs most woman have on from their boobs & curves i dont have.
I am currently 108lbs.0 -
I am 5' 1" and have a goal of 140. My healthy BMI max is 130. It says 110 is about the middle of healthy, but I weighed 130 when I got married and I was very happy with my weight. I have children now so I think 140 is a good goal to have. When I get there I will look at it again, then maybe I will decide to loose more.
Side Note: According to the wrist test I am small framed.0 -
I'm 5' 2.5" with a medium frame. My goal right now is 130. Once I get there I may set a new goal of 125 if I think i still need to lose a few extra lbs. But even getting to 130 puts me in the healthy range of BMI for my height. I pretty much fluctuated btwn 125-130 in high school. So I've been that weight before (been a loooooong time), but not as fit...want to lean out/build muscle tone as well. I think anything under 125 lbs would be too thin for me.0

I am just under 5' 1" and my goal is 110 pounds. I'm sort of large boned.0

I agree that the wrist test is really important when you're short - but you may have to repeat it as you get smaller. The other super important thing to remember is something I saw in another thread somewhere - at these smaller sizes especially the weight tends to redistribute rather than drop sometimes. This was an inspiring example of that: http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3926473&SPShared=TRUE
So take weekly photos and measurements - and watch your TOTAL inches as they drop so you don't lose motivation.
I'm 5'1.5", and my fingers overlap a lot. Even nearly overweight as I am now I'm in XS shirts usually, and size 4's, yet I still look ... smooshy and broad because my frame is very small. What a pain. Someone want to swap bones?
Goal: 110... but it's going to have to be a fit 110 if memory of that weight is right or I'll still be smooshy. 100 was my best weight when I was younger. That's just a creepy sounding number to me though - I'm not interested in being anorexic.0 -
I'm 5'2" and my goal weight was 120 but I am now at 125 and a size 10

Hi y'all.
I am 4'11" or less (may have shrunk?)... Was 4'11" most of my life, but last year when measured at the dr.'s office... was 4'8 or 4'9". I think the nurse mis-measured me!
I've always been very "small-boned". Right now using the forefinger test, they are barely touching. There is NO WAY that I am medium frame, though. I probably have put on weight on my wrist.
I'm hoping to be 100 or 98. What I used to weigh... before all the weight gain. Currently, 153. 2 lbs.
I, too, am taking it slow and have many mini goals. I don't know if I can get that tiny, again, due to age and bodily changes... but if I can... that is the goal.0
