Where are the 5"4 ladies at??

5' 4" and 160 pounds. I want to get down to 130. So sick of this excess weight!

5'4. I was 175 at the beginning of the year. Got down to 160 by September without logging, just trying to eat better and walking a little bit more. Started consistently logging and working out at the beginning of September and I am down to 144. My goal is 135 for now. We will see once I get there though. ..

So I am down to 138 now from when I wrote this on Nov 6th. I sat at 141 lbs for almost a month, but finally got past that. I am so close to my 135 goal but now that I am so close, I don't think I will be happy with 135. So I've changed my goal to 125 and then recomp.

Hi ladies. 5'4.5" here. Started at 208 at the beginning of this year. Got down to 192, then fell off the wagon and quickly gained back to 200. I was down to ~160 a couple years ago, but put on those 40-50 lbs in less than a year (so not always true when they say it comes on slowly so needs to come off slowly too!) when I stopped jogging but didn't adjust my eating habits. Since the beginning of December I am back down to 194 now. This recent adjustment has been the fastest I've lost weight in YEARS. I can sympathize with some of you talking about being excited to lose .5 lb in a month. That was me earlier this year! Now the math is all working again and I am actually losing faster than the math says, which could either mean my BMR is higher than I think, but probably means it will just slow down here soon. I am also walking about an hour 5 days a week and feel great. I am going to return to jogging again some day, but want to lose weight and build up fitness with walking again. Might start lifting weights again soon too. My real goal is just to get healthy (<146 I think?) but when I get down there I'll figure out where I want to be. I haven't been a healthy weight since I got married 9 years ago.

I'm so excited about this thread. I's 5'2" and worked really hard last year to get to 128, but seriously slipped and now I am at my heaviest ever at 143. I'm so disappointed in myself. I'm ready to really hit it again and work to stay at my 1200/day calorie goal. My initial goal was 115 - which would be great - but now I am am aiming for 125 and will see how it goes from there. Those 18 pounds seem like a long way to go

I'm 5'4 and my goal was 115 lbs ish but my sis (also 5'4) told me that at 115 her body fat % was so low that her periods stopped. I'm 127 now so I've changed my goal to 125-130 + recomp. Want to shrink my waist, not my weight. I have a 28 inch waist, would like a 26 inch waist.

I hit 115 and 16% body fat about 2.5 years ago. My trainer advised that I shouldn't go any lower at the composition or I'd risk messing with my fertility so I a recomp. I ended up at 120 and 15% body fat and was pretty happy with it. I want to get back there! I'm not 140 and about 21% body fat.
