I'm 5'4", currently 152.8. My goal is to be 130, and this is based on the fact that I've been as heavy as 170ish and as light as 118 and I feel like 130 was a good number for me. I was just wondering if there were any other ladies out there around my height and what your goals are? Any pictures?

And for reference, here are a few pictures of me:

    Yup I am! Started MFP at 173, currently stuck for about 3 months at 152-155 ish. My goal range was 140-150, but after being stuck for so long I would take 149.9! Haha!

    I am 5'3.5". Currently I weigh 186. My goal is to get down to 135. I would LOVE to get down to 125 though. When I met my husband when I was 15 I weighed right around 100 pounds. When we got married (3 years later) I was right at 125 back in 1999.

    I am 5'4". Pre-pregnancy weight 127. Got down to 135 after pregnancy but gained 15 pounds over a long lazy winter due to some medications. Down to 145 now and aiming for 135 again.

    Hey ladies. I am 5"4 but i am 180. I am very top heavy though and i would like to think i don't look that big. My goal is to be about 165-170 which still seems huge but i think that's where my body would be comfortable because i will never get down to 120.......It's a frustrating battle because i have been in the 180s for about a year no matter what i do but i am still pushing along

    I am 5'4''. I never struggled with weight until I was an adult. I am currently 215. I think 130 was a pretty good weight for me, and I hope to get back to that again!

    I'm 19 and 5'4 on a good day. as I say. :)
    I started out a year ago at 156.
    And when I started using MFP a little less than month ago, I weighed myself at 149. And now I'm down to about 143.
    My goal is to be 130 again too.

    I am constantly looking in the mirror and sucking my stomach in, and imagining myself with that body.
    I heard that sucking your stomach in is about 10 lbs. I sure hope it's less as opposed to more, but I can settle with those 10lbs.

    I haven't taken any pictures yet, though I feel like I truly should.

    I'm 5'4" and was at my heaviest of 143 last year, a very uncomfortable weight for me. Currently, I'm down to about 124, but am aiming for 110-115. It's a small number, but I'm not very muscular plus my clothes have always looked and felt best around that size. The problem for me isn't losing, it's maintaining once I get there... good luck to you!

    I am 5' 4" and my goal weight is where you are at right now...150 lbs. I have been over 200 for at least the past 10 years (I just turned 40 last month). I'd lose some here and then gain some back there. I have lost 40 lbs in the past year and want to lose another 25 before the holidays (be under 200). I am saying my ultimate goal is 150 but we'll see when I get there. I've become so much more active in the past 4-5 months with exercise and running. I've started C25K 3 times now this summer, but at least I keep re-starting. I can't wait to get to "One-der land".

    Good luck to you. I hope you meet your goal in the time frame you want.

    I'm 5'4, currently weight 160, but I hope to get down to 135. Somehow, though, my body likes to put on muscle, rather than to lose weight ... hmmm ...

    I am 5' 4" and my 1st goal is 150 and my final goal is 130. I think any smaller would make me look unhealthy. :)

    By the way - you look great!


    Taking it slowly is the best way to go. But sometimes when it comes off so slowly it's hard to see your progress. Take pictures of your body as you progress, I didn't realize how much my body had changed until I looked at pictures of me after losing 12 pounds. It made an amazing difference. Good luck, and thank you! :)

    Hi there,
    I am 5'4 and currently 170...ugh! I am also working on getting to 130, since that was where I felt the healthiest and happiest. I am on week 2 and have lost my 2 pounds (I started at 172).

    I have a really athletic build and will never be "super thin" and I'm totally ok with that, I just want to get back into my size 8's, where I spent most of my 20's.

    How are things going for you?

    I haven't taken photos yet that show my body (I've been hiding behind my son for the last year) lol. I'll attach the one I have tomorrow.

    Hi!
    I'm 5ft 3.5. I was 147 and now 135lbs. Goal weight is 126lbs (9 stone). Its taking AGES to get there!!
    Not a clue how to post pictures!! :flowerforyou:

    I know, I've been stuck around 150 for months now. It's driving me nuts! And posting pictures is a little tricky. First you need the url of an image you want to post (you can find this by right-clicking on an image on the web and selecting "copy image location". Then in the message boards you write [*img]insert image URL here{*\img] and you have to remove the *s. I hope that helps!
