    I am 5'3 and my goal right now is 150. When I get there I plan on re-evaluating and seeing where I want to go.

    OP, are you really 18 years old or are you actually younger?

    If you're not finished growing, you need to be extra careful to be getting adequate nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Even if you feel like you're not growing in height anymore, your bones are still absorbing calcium and eating healthily now can save you a whole whackload of health problems later on.

    Although I somewhat understand your concern, it's rude to make assumptions based off of someone's height. That's like saying you must be a basketball player if you're 6'4". My cousin is 22 and 4'9".

    Sorry, I'm not seeing where there was an assumption about OP? Her profile says she is 18, so there's a chance she may not be done growing.


    To answer: I'm 5'2", my goal weight is 125. Once I get there I'll see if I need to lose more or if I'm happy there.

    I'm 4'10 and started at 142 pounds and im currently between 116-118.
    My goal is somewhere in between 105-112.
    But I haven't decided yet because I'm not happy where I'm at now and losing 4 pounds most likely wont make me "happy" with my size and weight /:

    I'm 5'2.5" and my goal is 115. When I was in the Air Force, they wanted me at 109, so maybe, eventually that will be my end-goal. The most important thing to me though, more than a number, is just being able to walk every day and not feel sluggish from carrying more weight than I need to.

    5'2 and current is 160
    gw is 135 and we'll see what i think when i hit there.
    When I was alot heavier, 160 seemed like it would be awesome. I have been here for a while now and think 135 would be awesome :)

    How do you figure? Her profile says 18; it's a reasonable question for someone who says she's 4'9" to wonder if she's still growing.

    FWIW I'm only 5'1" and I'm 35 years old, so I'm not prejudiced against short people or anything. But I wouldn't want to advise someone to go on a calorie deficit if it could be bad for her health.

    I'm 5 feet tall and my goal weight is 117 but I felt great when I weighed 120 (around 6 or 7 years ago) :( How I wish I was there now.

    I'm 4'9 too, currently around 120! I have a really muscular build, so I'm trying to get down to around 110. If I think I need to, I'll lose more but the lowest I plan on going is 100.

    I'm 149cm which is about 4'11". I'd be happy around 52-55kg as I have a large frame and no interest in being super skinny. I want some muscle. I guess that is 115-122ish pounds?

    I'm 5 foot 1.5 inches and my goal weight is 117. FWIW, I grew 2 inches after college so you might hit 5 foot yet.

    I'm 5' 0 and my goal weight is 117. I feel good at that weight, but it's hard to maintain. I've been maintaining around 120 and fluctuating as high as 124.

    I'm 5'1.5" and my goal weight is 115. I weigh 120 now and am maintaining. I have a hard time getting below 120 and maintaining it.

    I'm 4'11" and I'm currently 112 pounds. My goal is 99 but maybe I'll go lower once I hit that.
