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

I am 5'2" and my goal weight is 120. I was 126 less than a year ago and was still not quite comfortable with how I looked so I feel like I need to be at least 120 but would love to be 115.

Well like all of you I am a shorty too! I love that there are so many of us at my heaviest (not pregnant) I was 167, I am currently 125 and shooting for 119 (just to be in the teens)

Im 5'3" but my goa to start out is 150.Im a curvier girl tho and id look sickly if i got down the my recommended weight

I'm 5'2 and have almost always weighed 139 no matter what, since high school. Over the last year my weight crept up to about 148 and let me tell you, 9 extra pounds on someone our height is a big deal. I've gotten down to 138 and immediately almost any back pain that I had went away!
The lowest I've ever been was around 120 and I felt great about myself at that weight and feel that's a reasonable goal. I don't know that I could ever maintain it though.
I used to think that 100 pounds or 110 pounds would be amazing, but truth be told, most girls our height who are that weight look ill. I do life insurance physicals and when I see someone who is the same build as myself I pay special attention.
Most of "us" weigh around 130 or so and look great. When you look in the mirror it's way different.
Of course we all have different body types too.

So anyhow in the last 5 weeks or so I've gotten down to 138 and have stayed there for at least two weeks and it's pissing me off lol!!! I've never worked this hard to lose weight and in my mind I should have been 120 by now. Of course at 36, it doesn't happen as quickly as it used to. Initially it did, but now is a different story for whatever reason.
It's hard to pay more attention to how your clothes are fitting and the obvious differences in your body. The numbers game is so detrimental. I often tell people that I weigh that if I didn't have to have a scale for the job, I wouldn't have a scale period. When pregnant with my daughter, my midwife didn't weigh me once. I thought I'd be nice and smug a couple of weeks after she was born and hop on the scale to see how much I weighed and it was a terrriiibbbllee idea.
Something else I keep in mind that I also see on this thread--there are girls our size who are definitely obese. Any one of them would probably be very happy to be 138 and may have that as a goal!
Of course a fit 138 compared to 138 that doesn't take care of herself looks and feels very different.
Good luck girls!!!!

I'm 5'2.5" and my goal is 115. For YEARS I hovered around 103-105 but after going on antidepressants I ballooned. I have a smallish frame. My ring is a size 4. I wear childrens sizes in shoes, gloves and hats.

Cool website!

I'm 5'2.5" and my goal is 115. For YEARS I hovered around 103-105 but after going on antidepressants I ballooned. I have a smallish frame. My ring is a size 4. I wear childrens sizes in shoes, gloves and hats.

I never thought about wearing kids shoes. I wear like a 4.20 size in ring. What size shoe do you wear? I am usually between like a 6-7. I'm 5 foot 2.

Size 6 shoe is 4 in kids. My ring size is 4, too. Gloves and hats especially fit SO much better in kids sizes!!

I'm 5'2" and weigh 175 lbs. My goal is to get to a nice 120lbs which has been recommended to me by my doctor for my height.

I'm 5'2 and even in high school I was around 140 and felt good and didn't feel "fat". I wore a size 12 pants, and even though that sounds "big" that was just my comfort zone. I guess it just depends on the person, but personally 140 feels right to me...unless I get down to that and feel the need to go further...I'm not too worried about the number exactly just as long as my blood pressure is down, my blood sugar is steady, and my cholesterol is even. I just say whatever feels comfortable to you personally.

My goal is to be between 135-140, to me the BMI is a bit extreme. Before i had my son i had weighted between 125-130 and people told me that i looked like 2 things: 1. a bobble head and 2. anorexic. I am very curvy and big boned, so i think getting to about 135 should be good for me!

Im 124ish right now but im soo out of shape. I want to get to a weight where i dont have to worry about thigh rubbing and sucking my stomach in... So we'll see how that goes. Im thinking 110ish but that might be too hard

125 to 130 I think that would be a good number for me

I think the most important thing is to be healthy. I am 5'2.5" and currently weigh 113 lbs. I would like to weigh 110 but honestly obsessing over pounds in that range sounds a bit unhealthy. Mostly I try to stay active and keep fitting in my clothes...

Like someone else mentioned, your activity makes the most difference in how you feel and look even if it doesn't show on the scale. I am a fitness instructor, and when I started teaching group exercise classes I actually put on some weight (I got up to 118) BUT at the same time I went down a pants size. For those of you who have mentioned the tummy, I highly recommend doing Pilates - it really works your core muscles and will help you get a flat tummy. It also can help with those injuries that keep you from being as active as you might be otherwise.

I'm 5'3" and I'd like to weigh 130 pounds. My legs are naturally very muscular though so I might end up at my goal size at 140-145 pounds. We'll have to see. Right now I'm about 210 pounds and wear a 16. I'd like to be a 6.

I'm 5'2 and have almost always weighed 139 no matter what, since high school. Over the last year my weight crept up to about 148 and let me tell you, 9 extra pounds on someone our height is a big deal.

Tell me about it!!
I'm 19, 5"2, started off at 160lbs and now 145/6lbs. My UGW would be 110lbs, just because on all the BMI sites weight-loss advice sites, everyone has stated that that's the ideal weight. But I love reading all the different goals, so maybe/hopefully my body will look healthy and beautiful at a different weight that's not so far away!!
