5'2'' ladies! What is your goal?

I'm 5'2" and I'm 1.2 lbs away from my goal of 124.0. I still have a little bit of belly fat left (visible only to me of course) so I may bump that down to 122.0 once I reach my first goal. If I go any lower, I just feel that it will be too much work to maintain. I'm 43 years old and my metabolism isn't what it used to be, lol! But it's much better than it was a year ago! Check out my before/after photos in the link below my ticker.

I should also mention that I am building a 5 pound buffer around my target weight. I will be able to fluctuate 5 pounds over and 5 pounds down without freaking out at every little change on the scale that way. This gives me a good 10 pound buffer zone to stay within during maintenance mode.

Wow you look amazing! I've always thought it was impossible to get down to being that small but seeing everyone else's accomplishments makes it just that more reachable.

Make sure you check out the link for My Journey too. That explains what I did to get down from 157 to my weight this morning of 125.2! It was a one year and six month journey... so have patience and NEVER give up! Good luck to you!

I'm 5'3" . I'm trying to get down to 140, so far 11 pounds down since joining but I'm doing a little bit of a jumpstart. So far so good.

Im 5'2'' and I'm at 126 right now. My lowest has been 124 for a week, but I have been sitting between 125 and 128 for a year or more, my goal was to be at 120, but I don't know if my body is going to let me get there. So I decided this week to start focusing more on getting more toned than losing. The lowest for 5'2 is like 101 or 104, so 120-125 is a great healthy place to be, but theres still room if you want to go lower.

Sorry didn't mean to repeat what you posted about the range, I was just thinking about my thoughts over this last week and it came out. lol

I looked and felt my best at around 118, with a 3lb buffer. I have a small frame - except for my shoulders, which are way too broad for the rest of my body. I carry any excess weight in my abs, back and chest, so I have to aim a bit lower on the scale to balance things out. What I wouldn't give for an hourglass figure!!!

Double post

Im 5'2.. and thats my goal! Its been ruff trying to even loose weights for the past year for me.. i do need some support.. im gunna start off with a smaller goal.. im going to try to reach 199lbs by november which would be a 81lb loss.. im 280lbs now.. so wish me luck! an if you have any advice id be glad to recieve it... goodluck with ur goal weight!

hey! im gonna be completely honest ... im pretty sure i haven't weighed 125 since 5th grade! at my healthiest i was 155 (which was my wedding weight 3 years ago) my body isn't really made to be 125! not tooting my own horn but at 150 i LOOKED thinner than other girls at that weight. right now im at 189 and my ultimate goal is 160 ... if i lose more thats GREAT but as long as im happy with my body then more power to me! as long as you're happy with yourself! (i say screw those charts!)

i am 5"2 as well. my goal right now is 120 by sept 17(my 24th birthday). i am at 144.6 right now but i am still having a hard time pushing myself to workout. i started at 171.4, i was 1.4lbs into obese. the weight my wii fit said i would look good at is 124. i was 115 my freshman year, i wanted to get back to that. me and my one day mother in law talked about it. we decided that i would stop at 120, and go from there. her and her boyfriend bet me that i wouldnt get to 120 by my birthday. they joked i was all talk. i talked about losing weight all the time, but never did it. thats is my goal for now. i will decide more when i get closer, and or there.

Im 5'3" and I have 100+ lbs to lose. I am 297 and have never been less than 225 (in my adult life) so i want to get down to 200, and go from there. I started at 300 (a few weeks ago) and i think itd be great if i could get to 150 so i can be "half the person" i was before!

5' 2" and maintaining at 135 +/- 4 lbs.

I focus more on shape that numbers on the scale - as long as I can fit a UK size 10 I'm happy!

Age is a factor too - approaching 50 it's hard to shift the final few pounds, and I'm consious that the more I lose the more wrinkled my face appears, so this is a balance.

5'2" here as well (of course). At my highest (ever) I was about 145lbs and felt horrible. My back hurt, I wasn't happy. Breaking point was trying to jog to catch up with a friend one day while holding a grocery bag in each hand and I realised I could FEEL my tummy fat and boobs bouncing around. Horrifying. I was up to a size 14 AU (10US and 12UK) and I just felt unshapely and unattractive.

I started MFP full time (and a 1200cal diet at least 75% of the time) in Feb at 62.4kg/137lbs and I'm down to 53.4kg/117 or so as of today. My final goal was to be 10kg, but I've been STUCK here for about three weeks so I may have no choice but to stop here. I was hoping to wave hello to 115 and then maintain between there and 120.

I'm fairly happy with how I look now, though my boobs are way smaller and my butt/thighs hold most of what fat is left. I feel bottom heavy but friends say I look great. I think between 115-125 is perfect, depending on how you hold the weight.

I am 5'2" with a goal weight of 115. Age has a way of sneaking the weight in! I am happiest around the 115 mark, but would be content under 120. Stick with it. As you get close to goal it gets harder. Good luck!
