5'1 - 5'2 girls what is your weight?

I'm 5'. At my heaviest I was 147, it took me 9 months to get to 121, but that was without mfp. I am now 107 and shooting for 100. I'm eating 1200 calories a day. It's a very sad diet, but once I reach my goal I will eat to maintain. Just a few more months to go0

Hi, 5"2 here, at my heaviest I was 140lbs, I'm now around 126-130lbs... Most of the weight I lost unfortunately came off my chest (but also my tummy yay). I carry a very large amount of weight in my bum and thighs... My thighs have extra fat and are also unusually hench!0

Wow, I am envious of all of you! I always used to say I was 5'2", until about 8 years ago, when I found out I had shrunk to 5'1". I am going to be 52 in May, and I do believe now I've shrunk down to 5'0". The sad part is, as I shrink in height, I seem to expand in width. I hit my all-time high of 201 at Christmas. I am 198.4 this morning. I feel great at 135, but as an adult, I've been as low as 125, for a brief time, when I was about 32 or so. As a teen, I was 119, and when extreme dieting, down to as low as 109, for about two whole days....lol. Needless to say, I think all my extreme dieting has wrecked havoc on my metabolism! Which is why I am going to start the FMD diet tomorrow. Has anybody joined the membership to Fast Metabolism Diet?0

I am 5'2" and maintaining at 109-ish. I think I look good at my current weight, and it's easier to maintain than my lowest weight of 106. My current goal is to get stronger. I have a tiny frame and no boobs, so at least I'd like some nice muscles.
I notice a lot of people have high school or college weights as their final goals, but I was actually 135 in high school. Unfortunately I was a non-curvy, kind of dumpy shape then. Don't want to go back there, lol!0 -
WOW!! I'm not sure if I am motivated or depressed after reading this thread
my height is 5' 1"
SW for MFP was 220 (my all time high was 238)
CW: 217
GW: 130 (my lowest before having kids was 118 but I am not going to push myself to get there, I am going to go with what feels right)
Best wishes to all of you!!0 -
Im 170 and at my heaviest and 5'2 I was never super tiny though. In highschool I weighed 136 but didnt have as much muscle and wore the same size I wear now which is strange now that ive written it. I was 146 for awhile then somehow gained all the extra weight. So hard to take it off.I wear a 10-12 now ick.
Watch out for size inflation when you make comparisons. If you are comparing today's sizes to 10-15 years ago, or more, there has been too much change. For example--30 years ago I weighed 102 lbs and wore a size 8. Today I weigh 130 lbs and I wear a size 4. There is no possible way that those sizes are comparable! I'm a pack rat, so I have clothes from 10-12 years ago. In clothes from 10 years ago, I currently wear a size 8, and they are a bit tight. In today's sizes, again, I am a 4. So you really can't go by size for comparison. Also, the manufacturers are very different. So frustrating!!

If you get to 130, why is it unrealistic to get to 120?
Age. It really does make a difference. Yes, everything is possible, but it becomes more and more difficult to lose/maintain as we age. And lifestyle. Kids and their needs and schedules make it more difficult. Not impossible, but sometimes you have to weigh priorities and make choices.
And then when you hit perimenopause, all the rules change. You no longer burn as many calories just living, and the fat storage patterns change. . . .

How would you know....you're only 30....just a baby. Come back when you're 60 and say the same thing. Age does have a lot to do with it!0 -

Amen, @Pammeycakes55! And we're old enough to not let such smart remarks faze us! Actually I find it kind of funny, because she doesn't know of what she speaks! With age comes wisdom!0 -
I am 5'1.5" and my goal weight is 120 (currently 160.8). I am curvy (DD) and muscular and at that goal weight I was a size 4 jean.0

I lost my weight slowly and surly during menopause. It wasn't very difficult, or hard work. I have maintained for 5+ yr and am 61 now.
It is more work to retain muscle mass as I get older though.
Cheers, h.

I'm 5' 1". My highest weight was 215, several years ago. Currently at 187. I'm shooting for 170 right now. A few years ago I got down to about 160 but it wasn't really sustainable for me.0
-
5'0", here. I'm very muscular and solidly built, so even at my leanest I was about 106 lbs, here in this profile pic.
<--
I maintain a reasonably sustainable weight at about 112. I'm 130 now, but that's because I'm 26 weeks pregnant. 0 -
I'm 5'2", and 140.4 lbs right now. My goal is 135 lbs (I'm busty, 36DD), so I don't want to go much below 130. I was 125 lbs in high school.0
-
I'm 5"1... heaviest was 160lbs, now hovering between 126-128. Still trying to cut down some more weight (left over fat), but really go off how I look and fit in clothes (or look naked). I was between 115-120 throughout high school but I'm liking my muscle tone a lot more now 0
-
I am 136 now but trying for 120-117 . I have been as low as 97 , but that was long ago. Funny so many little Gil's with 32 DD-me too!
How low do you ladies go in calories? Doingb1200 but not seeing too much action.0 -
I am 50 this year, 5 foot 1. I have been exercising like mad, and have considerably cut down what I eat since the New Year. I have lost 3 pounds. Yes, 3 whole pounds! (I started 171 pounds - would settle for 154 pounds). I feel fitter, and I am more toned, more flexible, and more importantly I am really enjoying all the activity so I will continue despite the slow decrease in weight, it has become about fitness for me. If I had cut back and had done all this exercise a few years back I would have lost 10 pounds easily. So, to all you young 'uns (females) I would say lose the weight whilst it is easier to lose. And to all the young females who say, excuses, just wait and see, you will get older too and you will face the same issues.

Cabird101 I was beginning to think something was wrong with me. I'm 5'2 and 183 lbs. That's me two weeks ago in the photo. I'm now crying! Snif!
(Not really) but why do I weigh so much?
I'm also looking to drop about 35 lbs and doubt I will go beyond that because then I get low blood pressure and start to faint all over the place because I become anemic.0 -
I'm 45 years old - Current weight 159. Height: 5'0 and 36D. Goal Weigh: 125. I have not been that weight in 20 years!!!

Your metabolism is probably fine. It takes extreme, and I mean extreme conditions for a person's metabolism to actually be ruined. I know I'm just one person, but I had an ED as a teen, got down to 95 lbs. (which wasn't extreme for my short height, but still pretty low), was fainting, losing hair and the whole nine yards, then proceeded to spend the next 20 years, literally, alternately doing 800 cal/day days with bingeing. For all those two decades, I had on my "good" days (yes, I called them that) fainting spells, memory loss and I had four miscarriages. Obviously, I was doing some damage. In addition, I have hypothyroidism.
I am 47 now. If anybody's metabolism should be gasping its last breath and rolling over to half-gratefully accept death, it's mine, LOL. But it still seems to remember what it's supposed to do.

I hear ya on that. I am pretty much the same way. My goal is for 30-35 pounds and see how I feel about that. But I'm more going for what I feel comfortable with for now and continue from there. Keep going for your goal! But all in all go for what makes you the happiest. Best of luck to you. 0 -
I'm 5'2" and aiming for 125lbs, maybe 120lbs after that. I'm curvy too (32F boobs here too after 2 babies and nursing; but they are gradually going down with the weight loss too, at long last!). I'm 130lbs at the moment and still don't feel entirely comfortable, there's definitely some loss left to be had and lots of toning. My aim is just to feel confident in myself again 0
