Whoops I totally forgot about this thread.
Congratulations to all of you who have made it this far and best of luck in continuing!!!0 -
I'm 5'4" at *171lbs with a goal of 130lbs being set as my ideal due to a higher than average muscle mass, but I'm thinking of aiming for 120, what do you guys think? Has anyone started with a higher than average muscle mass for their weight and realized the ideal BMI weight was too little?
*oops I made myself higher than I am, I guess even only dropping a few pounds my brain still hasn't caught up XD0 -
5'4" here, want to first get back to pre pregnancy weight of 138. Then maybe back to 135.
135-137 seems to be my sweet spot--size 4, easy to maintain with a moderate exercise regimen and no need to calorie count unless my pants feel snug. Even in college working out 1-2hrs/day (rowing crew in the am, running/erging/kickboxing/stair running/weights in the afternoon) and watching my intake (to make weight for the lightweight boat) I maintained 135 (but a much more toned 135 than I usually sit at now
) 0 -
5'3.75 here, 24 years old. I lost all my weight before in 2012, using IF and cardio. I went from 168 to 128, 40lbs lost the first time. I hit my highest weight rebound last December at 173lbs, and currently have relost 20lbs, down to 153. Goal is again 128. I had concave arm pits, leg definition, a flat stomach and no side rolls/muffin top at that weight and was very happy!
Ladies! Don't get stuck on a certain low weight number as the ultimate goal. Not everyone needs to weigh 100lbs or 110lbs to be fit and healthy and "not fat". Your goal may be "skinny" versus someone else who wants "fit" versus another who wants to be "athlete". Set small goals at 5 or 10 lbs at a time and reevaluate how you feel at each new goal. I was surprised when I set a goal of 120 and upon reaching 130 in 2012 I was perfectly happy with myself 10lbs heavier than I thought I needed to be!0 -
I am 5'4 (164cm) 47 years old.
Starting weight May 2015 228 lbs
I reached my first goal. I never thought I would be able to go below 180.
Right now I plateau at 168 lbs - loss of 60lbs. Since counting calories I stayed between 1200 - 1400 cal a day. I never use the calories I "earned" with working out.
My new goal is 130 lbs - the weight I had in my twenties :-)

Hi all! I'm 5'4" and 27 years old.
I'm a few months into my weight loss journey. The weight is coming off slowly, but steadily! I'm really nervous about the holidays coming up, but I'm going to try my best to keep losing!
SW: 212 lbs
CW: 198 lbs
GW: 145 lbs0 -
5'4" here. 43 years old. Just started. Again! 172. I would be thrilled to be 135. I don't need 120 anymore!0

I'm really worried I need to lose more after reading this thread! Ladies at 120, what body fat % are you???0

5"4.75, 19 Years Old
SW: 170 (late August 2015)
CW: 160ish (hovered within this area for the past two months)
GW: 140 for now
On paper, it looks so darn close! Unfortunately, it will take a lot longer. (:0 -

Do you lift? You might not need to lose as much then. A woman who is 120 lbs with 25% body fat compared with a woman who is 130 lbs with 18-20% body fat are going to look quite different. The 130 pound woman will look slimmer.0 -

Just under 5'4" and 27 years old. I am currently at 227lbs. I had my first baby 3 years ago.. my weight increased to 215 after. I lost 30 lbs on WW, then after quitting (too expensive), I gained it back plus more
trying to get back on track now. Add me! 0 -
I'm 5'4... started at 200lbs (ouch!) and now at 170lbs. Would be happy at 140 but ideally want 120! Really getting into the strength training and macro management. LOVE PROTEIN!0

I lift a bit, starting to get more into it. I'm 128 and 26% (pretty sure my scales aren't acurate on that one but not going to doc to find!) Just bought new weights as I've grown out of my "lady weights " haha0 -
Calipers come out at about 22%...0

I'm 5'4" and was at my happiest and most fit when I was 115lbs (I'm now ~151). Antidepressant weight gain is horrible. I'm just getting back on board with eating and exercise, and I could use some friends on MFP if anyone wants to add me.0

I'm 5'4 and my goal is 130. I've never been that low before, so we'll see if I like it well enough. I feel like the higher range of a "healthy weight" is more reasonable for me just because I honestly do seem to have a wide frame. I started at 157 and currently am at 150 (been on here a month). Feel free to add me 0
