in Goal: Maintaining Weight
I am trying to maintain my weight currently, however I am gaining weight and am not satisfied with how I look. I am 5'1 and weigh 103.5 right now. my goal would be to get to 98lbs.

I was wondering for those who are 5'1, what weight do you feel most comfortable at?

Also what are good body measurements too?
I'm 31-27-35.5 currently and my goal would be 31-24-35

    Average for that height would probably be overweight since more people are overweight and obese than not. I am 5'3 and 98 lbs 32-23-34. You probably need to incorporate body recomposition or weight training. Losing a couple more pounds won't really make a huge difference in how you look.

    I'm between 5'2" and 5'3" and 102.5 pounds. I recently had a baby and want to return to my pre-pregnancy weight of 98 lbs. I'm not dieting because I'm breastfeeding.

    Pre-pregnancy measurements were 32-23-34 / 98 pounds.

    I am 5'1" and 112 lbs. I am 54 yrs old and have no desire to be smaller. I think I would look frail and ill. I am large chested and I think with less weight I would look like I would fall forward. My measurements currently are 36/26.5/35.

    I'm 5'1.5" and 120 lbs. I'd like to be around 115, but haven't been that thin since I was in my 30s. Before kids, I was around 105-110, but very thin. I have a bigger bone structure, as you can see from the picture. 98 lbs.is pretty tiny -- I was there in late high school and college, but constantly sick. It's at the very low end of the BMI and probably works more for women who are very small-boned. Measurements are 36" 27" 36". Your waist will probably get smaller in a couple more months. After all, you just had a baby. I wouldn't recommend dieting at your low weight, especially if you're breastfeeding.

    103 at the moment with a range of 100-105.
    That is where I am comfortable.
    I did drop to 98 when I started lifting last year and had to do some serious calorie counting to get my weight back up.

    Measurements:
    Bust. 33.5
    Waist. 25
    Hips. 34.5
    BF% 22-25 depending on online calc used.

    If you are not happy with your weight, try some resistance/ strength training. You would probably like the result better than losing 3-5 lb.

    runrutheerun has it right.

    Cheers, h.

    I'm 5'1" and if I can get to 120, I'll be a happy camper.

    I'm 5'1" and have big boobs (currently 34E). I feel best around 125 or so, which if I recall correctly was 38-27-38. If I get much thinner than that, people around me start to worry, and rightfully so.

    I'm 5ft 1 and 124lbs I'm happy with this weight but my body fat is not at the % I would like it to be therefore in order to lose more fat I will need to keep cutting ( be in a deficit) I am however lifting weights 4/5 times a week and do cardio at the end of lifting

    http://www.mybodygallery.com/ I'm a little taller (5'2") [I never thought I'd get to say I was taller than anyone... ever!] but I use this website to view what people with my ideal body weight look like. I'm sort of a pear/hourglass combination. I'm an hourglass when I'm <160, but I'm a pear when I'm heavier. I think the fat just runs out of space on my top half, so it has to go down farther.

    http://www.superskinnyme.com/ideal_weight_calculator.html I also used this one to find that my ideal weight is between 128 - 143, because I have a large frame. It's not exact, but I like my quirky little tools anyways.

    I'm 5'3 and I fluctuate between 129 and 133 lbs...but that has been where my weight has sat for the last year...I'd be happy to lose 10-15 more, but part of me believes this is the size I am meant to be :)

    Same here. I'm 5ft and 32DDD. I'm around 120-125, but I would love to be 110-115.

    I'm 5'1" currently 142, looking to get to about 128. I think that would be perfect for me, I'm also large chested (34DDD) and would like to keep my curves.

    I'm 5'1" and I weigh 128. I wear a size 0-2, have lots of leg muscle, a nice booty, and I can do pull ups! I've gained from my lowest weight but so happy that i've gained this muscle. Trying to lean out a bit to 125 ;)

    ^I love your attitude. I'm also 5'1 and really want to be in the 120-130lb area and around 18-20% body fat.
