Hi.. I have done so well but over the last 6 weeks I have lot very little.. I think I am getting close to maintaining and sometimes want to have a cake with a friend and my dinner as normal as well. I have been living on a 1300 cal/day lifestyle for some time and sometimes go up to 1500 when going out etc. I am now weighing in at 119 .. I was thinking of getting to 115 and then maintaining. now very few of my clothes fit so that has put me off losing more as I am worried about what to wear to work. I can't afford new clothes and now all my clothes are too big.. I hate having clothes that don't fit as much as having clothes which don't fit close they were too small.. please can you let me know what weight are you aiming for and when is it time to maintain? warm blessings xxx

    Hi there!! I'm 5'1 and a half :)
    CW: 164
    GW: 145
    Once I reach 145 then I'll see how I look and feel and go from there. It's been a long time since I've even been in the 160's so I'm welcoming this with open arms. lol Until you reach your goal weight you might try shopping at a thrift store or consignment shop. Best wishes!

    I'm 5'4 and 105 lbs. I KNOW THIS IS UNDERWEIGHT. I am maintaining roughly doing whatever I want (I actually use this more to check my calories so I eat more then like 500...)

    I thought it was 130, but now that I've reached that weight I'm shooting for 120-125.

    So much depends on your frame, IMO... I'm 44, just a tad under 5'4", 40 lbs overweight, and goal weight for me is 145 (just enough for "healthy" BMI. I've been under 130 ~10 years ago, but was unanimously told I was looking sickly- ribs & all... It was also nearly impossible to maintain at that weight for me. However, on someone else, it might've been the perfect weight. You have to set your goal to what looks best on your body! Good luck!

    47 years old. 5'2.5". Currently 132. Goal is 125 and then reassess. I got down to 112 a few years back. My body looked great, but at my age, the face suffered! (At age 20 I weighed 102 and didn't haven he family ex problem, lol).

    Also, 112 was very difficult to maintain. I had to eat around 1400 calories or exercise excessively (for my lifestyle) to stay there. I think 125 will be a happy place.

    Somewhere between 130 and 140. I was pretty happy around 138 last summer. I have a specific look in mind, if I get that at 140 then great! If I have to go down to 130, I guess that's what I'll do.

    5’4”, at 136 now (SW 180). Goal weight 120. I’d be happy at 125-130 but with lots of muscle.

    I'm 5'2 1/2". My CW is in the upper 150s and I am happy here, but if I lose more then I will be OK with that too!

    I'm 5'3", and I've never really seen myself thin, so I'm not really sure what my "frame" is.

    SW: 240-245
    CW: 203
    GW: 135

    I plan on getting to 135 and seeing where I go from there. I really love heavy lifting, so my focus is more on how I look/feel, how my clothes fit, etc., than on the number on the scale. I'm hoping to have some mean muscles by the time I'm that weight regardless. :)

    I didnt realize how small 5'3 really is until I started MFP. I am 5'3 and 30 years old. I started last year at 206 lbs and I was just shooting for 150. Now that I am 169 I am shooting for 145 lbs. But I couldnt imagine myself at 120 or 125. I was probably 137 in high school and I was always in shape until my mid 20s.

    I'm 5'3 but have a pretty curvaceous frame. I'm way overweight now (157), but everyone says I look "normal" (Maybe they're just being nice). When I was 140 I thought I looked fabulous, had a nice flat stomach, thin arms and legs, but curvy hips and butt. My goal is 135-140 and reassess when I'm there. I definitely think it depends on your structure. My friend is also 5'3 but is super top heavy and even though she's 15lbs lighter than me, she looks a little more stocky.

    I think it depends on your frame as well. You can use your wrist size the estimate your frame- http://www.superskinnyme.com/body_type_calculator.html

    I am 5'3, goal weight 125..medium frame.
