5ft 2 weightloss goals?

Hi @laceyjjj: how long did it take you to reach 120. I am also 5'2" current weight 126.4, starting weight 134 and goal weight is 110-115. It took me about 11 weeks to get to my current weight. This is with ~1200 calories and ~ 5-6 days/ week exercise. Age is 40.[/quote]

It's taken me about a year, only because I screw up more than I'd like to I have a lot of social commitments this year so maybe once a week or every other week I may go way over (like 300 or 400 calories) Once I added the strength training (body weight, light weights) it has started coming off faster. It really depends on the person, I think. Also, when you don't have much to lose, it's been my experience that your body wants to hold onto it! If you were really diligent with weighing and measuring you could probably lose it in 2-3 months.

I'm 5'2 and my goal weight is around 140, but I'm a long way off that yet and have a hell of a lot to go...may change as I get closer, but 10 stone is unimaginable for me at the moment!

Wowee! You don't look top heavy to me. You look great!

These are fairly similar dresses. (The full length obviously does elongate my whole body. And I've also been practicing how to pose! Haha.) But this is a difference of (only?) 5 lbs. I started focusing on strength training and eating better in January.

Wow. both look incredible but I actually see the difference. It's not as in "weight" but different shape? Beautiful pics and I LOVE that long dress. And I hate dresses normally...that's gorgeous!

OMG I love how you did that progress pic collage (not sure what you call them). You must want to look at that often to see how far you have become. You look fantastic and happy!

Thank you!

I am now 149 and was 151 in the after picture. I am go focusing on 6 small high protein meals and strength training. Body fat down by 7%. Goal is to lose another 10-15 lbs and drop another 7% in body fat. Muscle looks better then skinny and I want a butt.

I'm 5'2" I was at 137 a year ago and 122 now. I've lost a lot of fat and have been lifting heavy for a year. I'd like to hit 120 for my first goal but I'm more focused on fat loss. I'm going to go for a Bodpod scan when I hit 120 to see where I actually am. Scale says 22%

I'm 5'2 and a half and started out at 191 in August of 2014, and I'm now 154. My first milestone weight I've been aiming for is 150, mostly because it seemed more attainable than going straight for 120-130. Now that I'm almost there, and after more research, I'm going to start focusing more on body fat % rather than weight. I'm probably about 28% right now, I'd like to be down around 18-20%.

As an adult (im 43 now) the lowest I have gotten to is 125 lbs (57 kg) I look really good at 57 kg! Lean and defined! (except for my tummy area) I still had a bit of tummy fat I wanted to lose, and tighten up a bit of loose skin.

I stopped when I got to 57. This time I'll just keep going because I'm curious to see what scale number I can get to. I was 27 % body fat at 58 kg and I'd like to lose some more fat % maybe get somewhere between 20-25 % body fat. I'll play it by ear and see how I look when I get to 57. I'm eating at a 10-20% defecit currently. Another 2-3 months and I'll get to 57.

I think the last couple of times I pushed too hard and when I got to 57 I burnt myself out and couldn't continue. This time I'm treating it more like a marathon not a sprint. There is no hurry. If I feel I need a breather I'll eat at a smaller defecit for a while. I don't mind losing in stages. Even if I were to get to 57 in a couple of months time. I could always work hard to maintain that number during my winter and then in spring (September) when my offseason starts I could try to lose some more.

When I do reach a fat % I'm happy with I plan to recomp at a 0-10 % defecit for a while and every now and then have a couple of weeks eating at maintenance so my body doesn't forget the amount it should be eating.

Edited to say I started in April 2010 and lost 33 kg over 2 and a half years. The past 2 winters I regained 9 kg so I'm looking for stability and want to maintain this winter and forever!

I'm 5'1" and my starting weight was 160. I've kept it under 130 for about 4 years now. I'll be 45 this year and I'm not real active, so my goal weight is 120.

My starting weight was about 72kg but aiming for 57kg in 2016, 5 to go!! I think that's 125lbs in old money
