    I'm 5"1 I've got down to 122 but decided to go for 112 as I'm of a very petite build.
    Why not set yourself a mid range weight and see how you feel once you get there.

    5' 2" and aiming for a realistic 140! My coach/ nutritionist and I agreed that at my age (49) a "toned 10 stone" would be a reasonable goal. It's still on the high side according to the bmi scale, but I dont want to get too focussed on an arbitrary scale, I'll judge more by measurements, how clothes fit etc.

    I am 5'3 and shooting for 125. I spent most of my life at about 115 but I don't think that is realistic any longer. I am currently 135 and will take another look when I get to my goal of 125. I am amazed how differently my clothes fit after having lost the first 10 lbs. Pick a goal weight and assess as you close in on your goal.

    Girl you are underweight already! Goal weight for someone who is 5'8" with a small frame is 126-139 so you are very, very underweight. That is unhealthy!

    Ideal for 5'2" is around 118 -120 so I guess that would be a good number for me but I'm not focusing on the scale number anymore. Heavy weight lifting is the best thing for getting lean (when you are already at a healthy weight. I'm looking to drop my body fat percentage - not the numbers on the scale.)

    It is impossible for women to "bulk up" when lifting heavy weights. We need mass amounts of calories, protein and testosterone. Our bodies weren't designed for it. What lifting heavy weights will do is increase your fat burning ability throughout the day. More muscle means more fat burning.

    I'm 5'2" and very slight-framed. I'm aiming for 110 which is what I used to be but would be happy with 115 or even more if it's muscle rather than mush.

    i'm 5'2" and a medium frame so ideally i would love to hit 125 but would settle at 130. at 40 yo i think this is a good weight to still look hot ;)

    your goal weight will depend on your own body type.

    Me for instance, I am 5'5 and quite curvy. The suggested goal weight for me is 120 - 135 lbs and all I have to say to that is yeh right! 160 - 175 is a good place for me. Anything under that and I'd look malnourished!

    I am 5'1".
    I have always weighed between 105 and 112 was "chubby".
    I am a medium build.

    And this is also my goal, as I weight 137 now.
    I know I will not be "thin" or "fit" untill at least 115-112.!!

    Most doctors charts say between 105-120 for our size.
    Body fat is another measurement.
    Between 22-18% is healthy and ideal.

    Best luck. Don't settle, work for the real deal!!

    I'm 5'2" and my goal weight is 120 for now, but I'll probably keep going until I feel right with what I weigh/how I look.

    I'm 5'2" and I am aiming for 125 I have a small frame so I'm suppose to be between 108 and 121. Right now I'm at 155 only 30 pounds to go.
