    I'm 5'2", and I think I'm starting around 165-170lbs. I haven't been able to weigh myself in a while since I don't have a scale. So I'm guessing. But i'm hoping to be around 140lbs, possibly 130lbs.

    I'm 5'2.5". My goal is to get to 103lbs. That was my post-pregnancy weight after my first baby. It was the first time I'd ever been at a healthy bmi. (All through high school I was 92-95lbs...I couldn't gain weight.) I liked how I looked then. I've always been petite, so I'm not worried about how it will "look" on me. I was 120-125 for years, but suddenly after my last baby I just started gaining. I may re-evaluate once I get to 110lbs.

    5'1 SW178 first gw was 140 got there moved it to 130 got there moved just under that cw128. Not sure what I'm doing now. Think I'll try to lose a few more pounds but at this point things look good. I feel comfortable and I think I'll just try toning a bit more.

    I am 5'2" and would love to be between 125 and 135. i started out at 230 and I've lost about 30 pounds so far, before using MFP. The last time I felt happy at my weight, I was 150, but that is still considered overweight!

    I'm 5 feet even, currently at approx 148 pounds. I'd like to get down to 120 and then take it from there. I was happy at that weight and I got down to it after my third child, so I know it's a possibility. To get below that? Will have to see...

    Well, I'm a little short for this topic, being only 4'11", but my goal is a muscular 115 (the equivalent in looks of about 100 without the musculature). But, that's a longer-term goal. Right now, I want OUT of the "Women's Petite" section, since 9 times out of 10, anything that's pretty doesn't come in that size combination!!! I have a LOOOOONG way to go before then, though.

    So, as women (mostly... guys chime in too!) with shorter inseam measurements, do you feel that the calorie expenditure for walking is wonky?
    When my 6' tall hubby - he with the three foot inseam and yard-long stride - goes for a walk, he covers the ground at an easy pace of about 3 miles per hour. Barely exercising. When I'm walking, I'm puffing frantically at 2.5, as my short legs have to take at least three steps to each of his two to keep up.

    Does the exercise calculator take our height into consideration? My 2.5 mph is much more work than his 3 mph!

    My current main goal is to have a flat abs & a 24" waistline as indicated in my signature. Although I'm not sure if it suits medium-large framed people like me.

    I am 5'2 and my goal weight is 130 pounds, but I am kind of big boned so not sure if I will get that low. I started out at 168lbs.

    I also thought that I can never be a 125lb. with my bone frame but hella, I lost a big amount of weight now. Its a common excuse for many overweight people that they have large frame & can't lose weight but honestly it has nothing to do with it. You will be only slightly heavier than small or medium framed people. I think for endomorphs (aka large framed people), your ideal weight range for your height is from 128-143lbs.

    I'm 5' 2" (barely) and want to get down to 52kg (114lb) from 62kg (135lb).
    Once I get there I'll see how I feel....I may (or may not) want to get back to my pre-babies weight of 50kg (110).

    I'm 5'2, and currently weigh 116. My ideal is 110 as I have a tiny frame and right now I have a round tummy, which I'm trying to tone.

    I used to weigh 105 but everyone said I was to skinny so I'm aiming for 110.

    I am 4'11.5 and I would like to ain about 3 pounds of muscle and achieve 11-13% bodyfat so I can compete as a figure athlete next summer. I got down to 15% this summer but am on a break right now before I start pre-training.

    Just a little tip... weight should only be one measure of success. Body composition and measurements are very important too!

    Good luck to everyone!!
