5'3" to 5'4" and 100-110 pounds

I'm 5'1" and about 107. While it would be nice to see 100 again (which is what I weighed prior to getting pregnant) its more important to me to lose some inches. I'm literally the definition of 'skinny-fat' at the moment and some muscle building is definitely in order. I have like, zero muscle tone, lol. Anyhow, feel free to add me.


HW: 113
CW: 107
1st GW: 105
2nd GW (maybe): 100

I'm five foot. I would love to have some people within my stats range to see how hard/easy it is to get to certain weight scores.

I'm just under 5'3, and currently at 118lbs. My goal right now is 112, which is what my pre-pregnancy weight was a year ago (I had my 3rd baby in Dec). I am able to easily maintain 112 once I go back to work (I have a year of mat leave). When I had my 2nd baby I was able to get down to about 104, but that was a little too small. 108 is about ideal for me with my frame.

Right now I'm wearing US size 3's, but I desperately miss my 1/2's. Really, that is my big goal right now. I'm still breastfeeding, so my boobs are bigger than they normally would be, so I'm allowing an extra 5lbs for that.

I'm 5'2 and my goal weight is 110lbs. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I'm 5'3" and would love to get to at least 110 pounds, but my husband thinks I'm crazy. I had to promise him I'd reassess at 130lbs (I'm around 160 now) and think about my final goals, because he doesn't even think I can get to 130. Nice to see so many people my height who have gotten past that and as small as I want to be.

I'm 5'3 as well. My goal weight is 130 lbs. Ive been bigger and more muscular most of my life. Growing up my weight was set around 150 and I always wished to be thinner. I know I have a very solid frame and don't want to lose too much definition. I would like to lose some fat to slim down and look toned. My goal weight is a little higher, but we have similar goals in the end, and will know whats best for our bodies. Good luck and keep on movin'!

It's hard for me to get support because some of my friends weigh much more than me or are taller/bigger than me - they've said "yeah right, I'm trying to GET where you are"! It makes me feel guilty for complaining when I know I'm not super obese or anything.

This happens to me as well. Which is so frustrating because I know that I am overweight and just because I am not obese doesn't mean I shouldn't do anything about it or be proud when I do!
I am 5'4" and currently weigh 136. My goal is 125, which is the goal my doctor set for me at age 15 - a goal I have never reached (and I am 36 now). Who knows, maybe when I get to 125 I will want to keep going, but I think 125 is a healthy goal for me and will look great for my build. I am combining the weight loss with strength training to tone and tighten things up and add strength - can't wait to start seeing results there! The 11.5 pounds I have lost so far have already prompted a massive clearing out of things that were too large from the closet - talk about motivation!

So has anyone in this thread been losing weight? I've been going strong for weeks and still not 1 lb has dropped!

Well, I lost MAYBE 2 lbs since I posted...but I haven't been doing all I can either...

I was reading some of the comments since my last post, and it's true, we shouldn't judge people for their goal weight because each of us carries our weight differently. For instance, I read earlier that someone was a size 10 at a weight of around 130 (if I'm remembering correctly) and I am a size 8 at 135. So for some of us "shorties" a lower weight will be more realistic than others. I am mostly interested in reducing my size, because I can tell that I have a "pudgy" appearance when I see a picture of myself, and also I am just out of shape overall. PLUS, I have so many clothes from pre-pregnancy that I would LOVE to return to! I still have to wear a few of my maternity tops/bottoms and the "baby" will be 2 in August! I have, of course, bought some clothes I can feel good in, but am really hoping not to completely replace my wardrobe.

I was 105 about 5 years ago, but I now know realistically that that is going to be too skinny for me now, as age and babies have a way of "redistributing" the way you carry your weight. So I have a starting goal of a 10 pound loss, but to be honest, if I get to a clothing size I feel good in before then, then I will just try to maintain OR if I still need to lose more, then that's what I'll plan.

We all need to support each other because our health and size goals will still be different, regardless of similar heights! One thing always keep in the back of my mind though is something Courtney Cox said: "When you get older, you have to decide between your a** and your face." Meaning, if your rearend gets really skinny, your face will become more gaunt. A middle aged woman often DOES look a little better with a few additional pounds. But hey, if I were in my 20's, I'd probably go for a 20 or more pound loss too!!!
