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.
^^^ Tell me about it! It's taken me 3 years to get this far and I'm still not done!skinnygirldc wrote: »It's slow going for shorties. I expect that it will take three months to lose the next six pounds.
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.0 -
Height: 5'3"
SW: 173 lbs (9/2013)

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.0 -

Hey there guys! I'm 5'4 as well! =D

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.0 -
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.0 -
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.0 -

I net around 1200 calories. I do eat back exercise calories. I exercise 5-7 times a week and have a varied routine -- strength, yoga, walking, kickboxing, stationary bike (if I can't get out)0 -

Deadline: Ongoing
SW: 146

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! 0 -

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 130-135.0

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!

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.0 -

don't really have a deadline, trying to just be ok with slow progress and keep eating healthy foods and exercising a little more.

although these days I'm thinking I'll probably be hanging around 110. I've added muscle and stopped starving myself since my lighter days, and that's probably a healthy place to be.0 -
I'm 5' 3.5" and 22 now.
SW: 212lb on April 15, 2014 (was 21)
CW: 150lb
GW: 130lb, but I will re-evaluate when I'm closer. I expect to transition into maintenance but still be working on recomp at 130. At the moment, I think 20lbs more will be a good amount though. I have no deadline. It'd be nice to be into maintenance before starting grad school next fall, but I'm not sure that will happen.
I initially ate 1500/day and did 30 minutes of exercise about 5 days a week - jogging, 30 day shred, or weight training. I've recently bumped my calories up to 1650/day because I was still losing 5-6lbs/month, which I think is too much at this point. I mostly strength train, with some 30 day shred thrown in, but I'll be back to alternating weights and jogging once the weather improves.0 -
Hi Everyone
I'm relatively new to MFP. This is my third week. But I'm loving it so far.
I'm 5'4
SW: 175
CW: 169
GW: 130
Years ago I was 130 and really focused on counting calories and exercising but when I started training to be a primary teacher I put a lot of weight on and 3 years later I was 175. I was really lazy, ate whatever I wanted and didn't care about my weight because all I could focus on was work and the stress it brought. As much as I enjoy teaching it gets super stressful. But this year I decided I had to get back on track and here I am. I've tried fad diets along the way which did not work, I hate depriving myself in extremes as it usually ends up in a binge. So I'm doing it slow this time and changing my lifestyle instead so I don't have a firm deadline for my goal weight but loosing about a kg a week (2 pounds) is my goal. I'm loving MFP, I also bought a FitBit and it keeps me on track. I workout doing walking and Aerobics 4-5 times a week. I'm looking for accountability buddies so please feel free to add me so we can support each other on our journeys. I'm from Australia, NSW, Newcastle by the way.
Good luck everyone!

I am 5'3" and am 159...goal weight 139. I have been 125 in the past, but honestly that weight is too low for my body type (curvy) and too hard to maintain.0

GW1 150 by Easter or end of April
GW2 140 by end of June
I seem to be losing about 1-2lbs a week on 1400cal with walking 3-3.5 miles 5-6 days a week. I do occasionally eat my calories back depending on hunger or special occasions (my birthday, etc). My goal is also to be sustainable. I am newly turned 30 years old and has my 3rd baby nearly 2 years ago. I just weaned him last month and am now focusing on getting my body back.0 -
Height 5'3"
SW: 183 (170 when I started MFP)
CW: 142.6
GW: 120-125
Deadline: whenever
I'm aiming to lose 1 pound a week and so far it's working. I eat average 1400 calories a day, it depends on how much I'm working out. I do daily yoga and most days do some cardio and bodyweight exercises. My "rest" days have light pilate's. I've only been exercising for a month, so I just started losing again (muscles were retaining water) and I'll see if I need to adjust anything.0 -

Oh and I'm mostly at maintenance on 1300-1500 cal lifting and/or running for about an hour 3-4 days a week.0 -
