I'm 5ft 2in with a start weight of 161lbs but im not sure what my final goal weight should be because of my height.
To start off with i'm going to reach 140/135lbs but once i reach that i'm not sure what would be best.

Whats your heights and goal weights and does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Much appreciated
Alex xx

    I am 5'2 as well with a goal weight of 130... for now. lol. that is in the range of healthy BMI and it is still 37 pounds away, so when I get there I can re evaluate and decide if I am happy at that weight or if I feel the need to keep loosing. I think it really depends on the person.

    Try to reach a goal that is within a healthy BMI, 18.5-24.9. A goal weight of 140lbs for you would be a BMI of 25.6, while 135lbs would be 24.7. 101lbs would be the lowest for you at a 18.5 BMI. So basically anything between 101 and 136lbs that you can maintain would be best for you.

    My personal goal is 110 at 5'3", a BMI of 19.5.

    Good luck!
