    Hi all I'm Nicky in Essex, I'm 5ft1 & a half (u know every bit counts when you are a short *kitten*). I lost bout 22ibs over last 2.5 years.. I weight 126ibs now and I can't seem to lose weight. Im an A cup so please God no more weight to lose there please !!! By abs and tum area are my focal areas. I'm into trying to burn calories and I generally log most days. Unless I get really fed up and go on a bender and rebel. My goal weight is 112ibs .. Any tips gratefully received

    I am 5' even and at 160 lbs right now. I feel so blah at this weight and aim to get back down towards 120 or so. I want to lose my fat and gain my figure back so ready to gain muscle too, which may affect that 120 goal. I just want to feel physically attractive again.

    4'11", currently 173 lbs. want to get down to 135-140 since getting to 119 is utterly impossible unless i just stop eating and am constantly exercising. the biggest issue i have with my body currently (boobs are okay), is my belly. I have looked "pregnant" my whole adult life and I just don't want to anymore. I don't want a flat belly, but a much less noticeable belly would be fantastic.

    wow thanks for all the replies! I signed up to MFP then haven't had my laptop since :(

    Its nice to see how people can feel comfortable at totally different weights at around the same height.

    if i'm reading NHS BMI chart properly the ideal weight for me would be 105-140lb.

    I have pictures of me as a teen around 112lbs and I really don't like how I look so probably gonna aim for 140, just need to kick my bum in to gear!!

    GL to everyone else in reaching your goals :smiley:

    I'm 5'1.5" and around 120-122. I'm a medium to large frame with big shoulders, so I'm not one of those gals who can get to 105 lbs. without looking emaciated. I can't seem to get below 120, but have made a lot of progress getting more defined. I'm working back into upper body work due to a shoulder injury and hope to get more tone in my arms.

    You can't depend on those stupid things they use to judge obesity at doctor's offices. I had a guy that I worked with take his son to the doctor. They did the test for him and it said he was morbidly obese. This man goes to the gym nearly morning after work and Is one of the most fit looking people in their late 30s I've ever seen. I think he didn't have much more than 5% body fat.

    Those things don't take a lot of factors into consideration. Muscles, Monster Jubblies, Bodacious Badonkadonks, etc. If you're near your proper weight for someone your age and height then you're fine.

    I'm 5', started at 167lbs and currently fluctuating between 140lbs and 142lbs where I've been for the past 2 months. My goal weight was 120lbs but I'm not too sure now. Although my weight hasn't gone down, my measurements are decreasing through exercise so I'm now focussing on that rather than weight.

    5'3" with a medium frame and currently 127 lbs. and working on recomp. I'm happy at this size but am probably going to start a bulk in a couple months. I don't care about the scale number at all and would probably look a bit sickly if I were under 125. I had a breast reduction in 2009 because I was just so out of proportion. I still have a large chest for my size but it's much more flattering and comfortable.

    I think I've shrunk again, so I'm not sure how tall I am. I'll go with 5'1". I also have large breasts and they likely always will be proportionally large, that's just the way my body works.

    I started at 210, and I'm currently 150. I have a medium frame. My goal weight is around 112-115.

    I'm 5'1", SW 170, CW 138, GW 125. I have a large frame (going by wrist size) and at 138, while still overweight, I'm starting to lose in parts of me I don't want to, and I don't want to lose too much, so I think 125 will be fine with me. I'm 48. If I were younger, I might pick a smaller size.

    I'm 5"2-ish.
    Starting Weight: 168-175 range
    Current Weight: 144.2 (21.4 % body fat!!! :D)
    Goal Weight: 115-125, whichever gets me a 70 cm waist across the bellybutton.
    I do want my 70 cm waist, and I'd feel better (mentally) once I have a healthy BMI, so I still want to lose weight. That being said, I am quite content right now, and I don't mind the wait until I reach my goal. Old clothes fit again, and I have so much more energy to do things. It's good to know that it's only a matter of time before I'm at my goal.

    Hi I'm Karen. These are my stats

    Height 5'1
    SW 180lbs (82kgs)
    CW 154lbs (70kgs)
    GW 110lbs (50kgs)

    I am a new years resolution lol. I have been losing very very slowly. But honestly I gained it slowly so I'm losing it slowly. It makes sense to my body.
    In may I started lifting weights at the gym. In the scary big boys section. I'm still lifting and love it!!!
    I've gone from a very tight 16 down to a 12
