    I'm just about 5 feet tall and maintain around 120-125. I would love to be 110ish, but last time I was 112 (the one year of my life) I was really tiny - wearing kids' size 10-12, so it may be out of the question. My 8 year old wears that!

    I'm 5'2" and just weighed in at 112 this morning. The last time I had body fat calculations done, I was at 21.3%. I would really like to reduce that some more. My goal is anywhere from 100-110. I have a very small frame, so it definitely does not look too thin on me.

    I am 5" and currently am at 144.2 pounds Ideally like to be 112 pounds. I worked out my body fat is 29% Can I ask how long it took everyone to get to their goal weight? what calories you are on? I have only started in Jan so I do understand it takes time and dedication. I think I am losing about a pound a week which is healthy so I think I will be around my goal weight in about half a year.

    BMI and body fat percentage aren't the same thing. BMI isn't stated in percents.

    Edited to add: Oops - I didn't see there were more pages to this conversation that covered this. I didn't want the confusion to propagate.

    I am 5'2 and I would like to be between 130 and 135. I lift weights so I don't mind some muscle mass. I am not sure what my body fat is, though. Anyone able to recommend a reliable way to check? I am not sure my scale is reliable.

    I'm 5'2" and 143-144 pounds. My body fat is somewhere in the low 30s. I don't know exactly because I've never had it accurately tested. My goal weight is around 120 and low 20s body fat, but sometimes it feels like I'll never get there. I've tried so many times and can manage to get to about 136 and then I lose focus and gain.

    The big difference this time is that I joined a gym so I could start lifting. I've never tried weight training while cutting calories, so I'm hoping it makes a difference.

    Just started. Current weight 228. My first goal is 203 because I think I'll lose a lot of the negative effects on my health at that weight. My body fat is 49% which was a big shock :* My ultimate goal is 140.

    Would really like some friends, if anyone has roughly half their body weight to lose!

    5'1", 175 now, looking for 140 (to start, might go lower, it depends). No idea what my fat percentage is, last time I had it checked was a couple years ago.

    I'm 5' with a BMI of 29% which is considered overweight (So I seen a dr) They told me by the measurements of my body, I am actually not as overweight as it said. He told me BMI calculators are just a starting point to help you reach your potential body weight and keep yourself at a certain weight range. For an accurate BMI you must use the calculators that use measurements. I'm trying to get down to 109 lbs. -The lowest healthy weight for someone my size. I'm more concerned with how toned I am and how my body looks than the actual weight to be honest! 109 is just my goal so I'm motivated to lose fat. :smiley:

    I am 5'2" 40 years old. Goal weight is 143 this was set by my trainer. I thought I wanted to be 115-120 lbs but trainer said no said I would have to put on body fat to get there. Did not understand when I was above 200 lb but I understand now as I don't look as heavy as the scale says. I am currently 138 lbs. my body fat is 29% right now with a goal of 23%. I currently wear a small in shirts and size 8 in pants

    I'm 35 and 5'2. Current weight is 136 and 26% body fat. I would like to get down to 20-23%. Don't really care what I weigh at that point.

    I'm almost your stats twin! I'm half inch taller, ahem a little older, 137 and 24% body fat. I would like to get down to about 126lbs.
