    5'4" - My starting weight in 2011 was 170 and I got down to 135 in a little under a year. I moved across the country to start a new job and gained some of it back. Starting fresh now:

    Height - 5ft 2
    SW: 191 lbs (13st 9)
    CW: 146lbs (10st 6)
    GW: 130 or 135 (9st 4- 9st 9)
    Weight lost so far - 45 lbs
    Left to lose - 11 or 16lbs

    I eat an average of 1600 calories a day. Some days it may be 1800, others 1400. But it all averages out to 1600 a day at the end of the week. I burn about 2800 cals a week (averaging at 400 a day) by running, weight lifting, Youtube workouts and one weekly visit to the gym. :)

    It's slow going for shorties. I expect that it will take three months to lose the next six pounds.
    ^^^ Tell me about it! It's taken me 3 years to get this far and I'm still not done! :unamused: I'm just happy that I've managed to keep it off ! :agree:

    I was interested in this topic and read the OP carefully. It didn't specify a certain sex.
    I'm a MALE.

    Height: 5' 3"
    SW: 170 lb
    CW: 158.6 lb
    GW: 150-155 lb

    I started lifting weights January of last year. I started around 140, then 150, then 160, 170.. I thought I was making so many GAINS! I believe most of them were noob gains, but I saw some pictures and noticed I put on quite a few pounds of fat too!
    I put my goal weight at 150-155 because my job says for a male that's my age and height I am allowed to weigh 149. I pass the body fat tape test regardless. There's this guy in my unit that is about an inch or 2 shorter than me but is all muscle (doesn't have to get taped). Even though I know I can pass it makes me anxious!

    My fiance has a similar story and *very* similar stats! Well, he claims he is 5'4, but...LOL no, hon.

    Height: 5'3"
    SW: 173 lbs (9/2013)
    CW: 135.4 lbs
    GW: 135 lbs

    I reached my goal weight about two weeks ago and transitioned to maintenance. I was tempted to keep losing weight until 130lbs, but I like how I look and feel at this weight, so I figured I would try to stay here for a while.

    GW: idk. 130 maybe? 135?

    I'm more of a Goal Look than Goal Weight kinda gal. I'd be 140 if I had the look I want.

    Lowest 159
    CW 180 (I just had a baby)
    GW 145, I think. If I feel great before that then thats good too.

    I try to stay around 1200 calories a day and do as much exercise as I can while baby sleeps in 15 minute increments. It's hard but even little bits help

    I would like my summer clothes to fit so I am hoping to get back to 165 by June about 16 weeks.

    Hi !
    Height: 5'4
    SW: 142 lb
    CW: 132.2 lb
    GW: 125 - 130
    Date: no dates, working on long term lifestyle change
    I started with 1200 cal a day, with cardio 3x a week but moved up to 1300 as I lost 10lb. I am happy with where I am but wondering how I would look at less than 130 lb since I've never weight so little as an adult. I would also add that I'm a medium built woman, so I think our goal weights vary based on our height and built. As a medium frame women my ideal weight should be within 116 - 131 lb range.

    Height: 5'3" (almost)
    SW: 145-ish
    1GW: 125 (pre-pregnancy weight)
    2GW: 120 (wedding day weight, the lightest I had been, before the current journey)
    CW: 118

    I lost the most weight when I started c25k and was also hiking with friends on the weekends. I think the exercise makes it easier to keep the caloric deficit. But I still have a big layer of fat on top of my stomach after I achieved my goal weight.

    Current Goal:
    - be able to wear tighter t-shirt/dress without having to worry about sucking in my stomach :)
    - be able to do pull-ups and hand-stands
    - make better times on my 5ks

    Current exercise:
    - run 3x a week
    - follow the program on the book Body by You by Mark Lauren other 3x a week.

    GW: Evolving but anything under 140 would be lovely :)

    I recently started weightlifting, so I've started to take a whole new approach to this. Instead of wishing I could eat less and lose a bunch of pounds, I'm building some muscle and feeding them well. We shall see what happens but I would love to feel comfortable in my shorts and tank tops this summer :) maybe even a swim suit or two!

    I don't have a time, though I'd like to be maintaining by August (slow and steady boys and girls). I run (a lot) and do circuit/body-weight training. I can be a kick *kitten* motivator if you need it, add me!

    Hi,

    5'3" and I've lost 43lbs so far in 5months
    SW: 213lbs Sept 2014
    CW: 169lbs
    GW: 140 (possibly lower, I will readjust when I get closer)

    I've never been in a healthy range (according to BMI) as an adult so that is my main goal. To be healthy which is 140lbs at my height.

    I run 3 days a week cross train 2x a week and strength train 2x a week. I would like to meet my goal by Sept 2015 which will be a year from my starting point. Sooner would be better but I'm not pushing it. I have other goals like running an entire 10k in May that I'm focusing on as well.

    I've choose to use TDEE right now and not eat exercise calories back. I do try to stick to between 1300-1500 calories. I eat more when I go on dates with my husband...but usually stick pretty close to my goal.

    :)

    This question was asked to ladies of a similar height a month or two ago, and most of the answers were in the 120s. Now I'm seeing a lot of 130s+. Very nice! Nothing wrong with either, but I remember being one of the only ones then whose lowest goal was 130-135.

    I'm 5'4" and this isn't my first time doing this (used to weigh 178 lbs 13 years ago and got down to 121lbs but for last 10 years have fluctuated between 121 & 148) but hopefully I'll get to my goal weight this time and keep it off!

    SW 147.5
    CW 141
    GW 117

    I want to get there by July as I'm eating around 1300 calories and exercise 7 days a week but this is the most I can eat if I want to lose weight at a rate of 1lb per week.

    My ultimate goal is to reach 20% body fat (currently 32%) and if that puts me at my goal weight then great, but also fine if I'm a bit heavier.
