Height - 5ft 2 Inches :)

I'm 5'2.5" and started at 212. My goal weight is 138 because that was the top of a healthy bmi for me. The smallest I've ever been as an adult is 135 and I remember that being hard to maintain but I know more now than I knew then about maintenance. Anyway, I'm currently 145 so only 7 lbs away and I feel fantastic. When I see pictures of myself I'm shocked at how skinny I look. But I'm continuing on to my goal weight and then I may possibly change my settings to lose 1/2 lb a week and see how that goes. It's hard for me to imagine being smaller than 130 and I don't know how easily I could maintain it, but it's been easier to get to this point than I thought it would so maybe it's doable for me!

I'm just under 5'. My goal weight was 130 then 125 and I think I'll change it again once I hit that. I'm currently at 168, but started at 180 a couple of weeks ago. I think it'll be more of a "how I feel" thing once I get close to 125 and see if I'm happy there or if I decide I need to keep going and lose more. I know my "ideal" weight is like 95-114lbs but honestly, my oversize chest won't allow me to be that small again. It doesn't matter what my weight is, the DDs stay...UGH

5'3", went from 142 -> 116lbs. I could have lost more, but I decided to go for lowering %BF instead so I chose to work on muscle for a while. I think I'll eventually settle somewhere in the 115-120lbs range. Around 20% is the ultimate goal. I'm probably ~25% BF at 123lbs right now.

Know who I've learned to envy? Tall pears. The hourglass is supposed to be so great, but it's really hard to work with. A tall pear, even with a few extra, is so much more attractive than I am when I'm even ten pounds overweight. And their boobs aren't quite as victimized by gravity as years go by. You lucky, lucky pears!

Love this post!! I always am jealous of pears. I'm also hourglass and short. Not a good combo.

Everyone wants to be so tiny! I'm 5'2" and currently 162 pounds. I'm down from 200 pounds. My initial goal was 150, but I am thinking about shooting for 140 - 145. It took me a year to loose those 40 pounds. I don't know... it sounds like everyone my height wants to be so tiny, but I am afraid that I would lose my boobs and my curves.

I'm not quite 5'2". I started out at 204 with a goal of 150. I met that and am at 139 now. My new current goal is 132. After that I might go for 128, but don't want to go any lower than that. I'd like my tummy to be smaller, but I don't know if that's going to happen since I've had 4 kids and lost 65 lbs, a good amount of it is just loose skin But other than that I'm happy with how I look now.

I'm 5'2. Starting weight was 153 and I've lost about 30 lbs. My original goal weight was 125 and I hit that right about a year after starting MFP. Then I had a busy second half of 2014 so I ended up hovering closer to 130 lbs. I tightened things up again in Jan 2015, went back down to 125 and as low as 121, but I really think where I am right now is my maintenance range (121-125). When I got down to 121 I considered trying for below 120, but the scale stopped moving and I was happy where I was from a weight and calorie perspective so I decided this is my sweet spot, 123 +/- 2 lbs.

I am 5'3" and weigh 118lbs. I started at 121lbs a couple weeks ago and want to get down to 100lbs. I have a hourglass body shape, a 32"-23"-34" measurement, and my BF is around 20%. My biggest problem is my thighs! I am not happy with how they look in jeans! I wear a U.S. size 2-4 but the legs just don't look slim to me. Ugh shorty. I used to run/swim 1 hour a day, 3-4 times a week for about three years, which had kept me in the range of 120-130lbs. I guess carbs and sugar have been the reason why it's been hard for me to lose weight. How could someone resist a toasted bagel with butter and jam!? Now I am doing more weight training combining with cardio, 2 hours a day, 6 days a week. And I also just switched to a low-carb, high-protein diet. Hopefully I will be happy with how I look when the pounds start to shake off. Good luck to everybody here!

Where are you holding all your weight? I'm 5'3"/98 lbs with similar measurements (32-23-33) and around 15-17% body fat and there's no way I could wear a 2-4. A 0 hangs off me. Either your scale is off by 15 lbs or you are all arms and legs.

I'm same height started at 180. My initial goal was 150 too but now I'm 151 and thinking 135. Reading these posts I was thinking how tiny everyone was!

I'm 5ft 1 and started at 171, actually at one point I was 180 but lost a few pounds, fell off the wagon and then decided to commit, initially I had a goal of 132 because that would mean a healthy BMI for the first time in years, I got to that and wasn't really happy with it and decided I would like to lose a few more pounds so I carried on.

I got to 124 and decided that was fine for me and that I would start looking to maintain, I didn't want to go straight up to maintenance calories though so I added 100 per day for 2 weeks at a time and just monitored, I knew I might lose a few more pounds and I am now maintaining at 116-117, it goes up and down which I know is just normal fluctuation and I am happy at this weight.

Bex_hostie please don't be demotivated that people don't seem to have noticed your loss, some people don't like to comment in case it's taken badly, my father in law visits weekly and hadn't said anything despite the fact that at that point I was 30 pounds lighter, I mentioned feeling confident enough to go swimming and he said 'You have lost a lot of weight haven't you? I didn't want to say before in case I was being rude' so sometimes people do notice but don't like to comment.
