hello lovelies,

I am 5'4 & have been dieting on here since December 2014. I try my best to be focused, but I slip here and there... lol.

My ultimate goal weight is 120 lbs. I know its low, truly I've never been that light before. I am not very far away from that goal, I have 16 lbs to go.

I'm curious what you goal weights are, bc people look @ me crazy when I tell them mine... :neutral:

    We have the same goal and I usually dont tell people mine because they think thats too small.. but im 5"3 and I honestly think its the perfect size. I have been there before but I've also been 147 a few years ago. I am now around 127-130. Its hard for me because I don't like to exercise much... walk my dog but thats about it. I eat really healthy most of the time though. Feel free to add me :)

    I'm 5'3 as well...I'm at 129 and my goal weight is 115...there are lots of people in my family who believe I'm small enough, and I understand the thinking. But I still want to see 115 again!

    I'm just shy of 5'4" and 122 pounds. I'm aiming for 118, but may keep going to 115, if I don't have my body fat where I want it. That is my focus, rather than the number on the scale. I have a very small frame, so this is not unreasonable at all.

    I agree 100% w/ you here. I don't even tell people I'm on a diet anymore, bc they are like "why??? your already so small". having to explain & argue isn't worth my time, lol!

    I have been taking up running, but I hate that overtime I go for a run, I have to come home & wash my hair :neutral:

    soo I usually just don't... lol! & sadly at the moment I dont have a dog, so I dint even get that exercise! lol!

    YES, we must of looked at the same chart... lol! everyone I have clicked on is slightly different, lol!

    I originally planned for 125 lbs, but I hear on here that maintaining is tough... you shld account for +/-5 lbs during the maintenance phase. I don't like that, so I lowered it to 120 lol.

    but after seeing all of your goal weights, it makes me think I sold reconsider as I go... If when I reach 120, & I'm content then I'll stop... but if not, I might entertain 115 :neutral:

    I'm 5'2" but much older, so my goal weight is 135. But gosh, when I was younger, it was a different story. One thing at my age (63) is that too much weight loss can actually age one.....wrinkles show more, I guess. Anyway, I've lost 8 lbs so far. If I get down to 137ish........I'll be fine with that. I guess my thinking is surely age plays a huge part in what your goal is.

    I'm 5'2 and a little shorter than you - I am looking for around 117 ideally. I'm currently hitting 128 (SW - 157)

    I might decide to change that once I hit 120 and go into maintenance. It's hard to say until you get there :)

    Best of luck!

    TBH, I'm barely 5'4 but my goal is 145. I'm 38 and just feel this would be an attainable and maintainable weight, long-term.

    sustainability is a huge factor! or sold be at least, in my opinion! lol. thats wonderful if you feel like you WILL be able to sustain/maintain at that weight.

    one huge factor is I wold like for my life to stop being an on/off diet, lol.

    I want to get where I'd like to be, and still use map to track my calories to MAINTAIN my weight... I never realized this when I was younger, lol. I still think ppl don't realize it now, lol.

    I'm 5'2" and at 120 lbs trying for 110. I don't think what your trying to achieve is unreasonable. Good luck
