5'2'' women !! (the short ladies!!)

wow!!! i'm 5'2" spot on, and i currently weigh about 204lbs! but i started at 233 (after my 2nd child, but i've had my 3rd now, so my exercise was staggered a bit!). and i've never really felt fat!!!

the lightest i've ever been was 80kgs (about 176lbs), and that was when i was a uni student working 2 jobs (1 in a bar lifting crates up flights of stairs, and the other was nursing). and looking at pictures i think i looked scrawny!!

my goals are mainly exercise driven (i want to be a runner!!), but i'm keeping an eye on my weight. i want to see what i look like at 176lbs again, so that's what i'd like to see on the scales.

i'm a stocky build (thanks dad!), but i seem to carry my weight on my boobs and thighs. and my stomach. erm and my butt!! i'm just a good all rounder i guess!! haha.

i have NO desire to get down to 110lbs!! but i'd like to get into the 'overweight' part of the BMI!!! i'd love for my clothes to be a UK 14 trousers, and 16 tops. for me, that would be awesome!

Hey girl! We are almost samers! 'cept my highest weight was 247 - partially due to some major hormone issues after having my daughter, I was retaining about 20 pounds of water or something!! The minute I went off the pill I lost 20 pounds in less than a month (all WATER!!!)

I am 5'2" as well and my lowest weight in the past 15 yrs was 150 pounds, the year I got married (pics on my profile) I look back now and can see that I looked really healthy! I too am way CURVY - huge boobs (no matter how small I get) - but well proportioned, or at least I think so!!

So 150 is my first goal and then I'll go from there!! I've lost 42 pounds to date - 19 since joining MFP 12 weeks ago and I'm in no hurry! I'm going to do this the right way so it sticks!!! I know for me the weight that the charts say I should be at for my height would not suit me, nor would I be able to maintain that! I want to be curvy, healthy, active and happy - for myself and my daughter! My ultimate goal is to become a runner or a personal trainer (that was my goal before getting pregnant) - and as long as I'm healthy and LOOK healthy, I don't care what the number on the scale is!!!!!

I'm slightly under 5' 2" and my goal is 135 (because I have a medium almost large frame and lots and lots of muscle). I haven't been below 140 in years so this is a challenge for me. I've always been overweight. But you have to start somewhere!

5' 3" SW:182 CW:144 my Goal on here is 125 but i figure i'll get there and if i feel the need to lose alittle more i will cross that bridge when i come to it

I am 5'3" and the weight range for someone my height, with a small/medium (borderline) frame is between 107-125 (average of 6 different charts) the average of that is 115...and MY personal goal is 112! I am currently 130ish.

I'm 5' 1.5" and started at 229. I am now 192 and am aiming for 150. My ideal weight is 102-137.

Hello!

I am 5'2". Last weeks WI put me at 148. I would like to at least get to 135 and see if that's where I really want to be. I have curves too(big booty & breasts) which makes me set my GW on the high end of the "healthy" weight range. I am building muscle which weighs more than fat as well.

It is different for everyone. We are not cookie cutter Do what is best for you and makes YOU feel great!!! Feel free to add me and we can support each other on our journey!!!

Good luck!

Hey everyone! Another shorty here- 28 yrs old, 5'2 and on the "heavy side". I started mfp in the beginning of May- at 221 lbs. I'm currently down to 209, with a long journey ahead of me. I'm hoping to continue losing between 10-15lbs a month....my short term goal is to lose a total of 60 lbs by the beginning of October.....when I go to Disney with my fam on our first ever vacation. My long term goal is to lose 90-100 lbs, getting myself to right around 120. I haven't been that weight since high school.

I am 5 foot -even! Carry all my weight below the waist!! if I get to 130 I will be so excited-that is my goal!!

Just what I've been looking for. I want to be strong and fast. BMI is where I want my real change to be measured. I am currently at 25.6%. Not sure how to decrease that number except to lose weight and weight train. I went from 107 - 149lbs with pregnancy 15 years ago. I have not been able to get under 130 since then. The major benefit of pregnancy, other than the baby, was the booty. I would like to keep my curves,slim my waist, and pack some serious guns.

Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about...

I'm 5'2 as well..and as much as i love being short, it's a bit annoying that the fat doesnt have too far to go haha. my goal weight is 140. i have a rather large chest and wide upper back so i think I would look ridiculous at the 110-120 range. however, i think you should make your goal based on your body shape and at the weight you feel the most confident. if i am happy with how i look before i reach 140, i'll stop there and try to maintain

I am 5'2" and have just began using this site. My ultimate goal would be to weigh 135. In my long ago past I was at that weight and if I go much lower I look ill and you could start o see bones in my chest.That goal is a long way away. I will be so happy with little goals met. I have lost 3 lbs and I feel thats a great start. I actually began this because I was feeling ill and wanted to see what my ACTUAL nutrition intake was. Amazingly I found it was VERY inadequate. I was only eating about 700 cal a day and even that was not always the best foods. Its wierd to think i will have to eat MORE to lose more. Its also amazing to see that I am 187 lbs from NOT taking care of ME. Its a new day !!

I'm 5'2" with a medium frame. I currently weigh 125 and my goal weight is 115. I was 110 a couple years ago and even though it's only 5 pounds less than my goal weight, I felt I was too skinny. I lost my curves and a lot of people said I was too small. I feel best at 115 because I still have my curves, but my face, arms, and thighs are much smaller than they are now at 125.

I'm 5'1" and my goal weight is 135, or around 130. I was this weight a few years ago and thought I looked good, but it was SO HARD for me to keep! I don't know what some of these charts are talking about with that being overweight for me still. And despite being active and into fitness I don't think I have the muscle to justify that #. All I can say is, I don't like being too small and I don't like the look of adult women who are too small. Not trying to upset anyone ) : Just my opinion, I think adults should have curves. And from what I read men are programmed to be attracted to a small waist/large hip ration when they're older. So it works for me ( ; I can add when I was below 130 people would ask me if I had an eating disorder b/c it looked bad on me.

I am 5'2 and am 99-101 pounds. My goal is 85 pounds.
