5'2---- Goal Weight and Fitness Goals?

I'm 5'1. I started out at 222. I'm currently 218 and just started a week ago. I'm hoping to be at least 145 someday soon. I have a large frame and a lot of muscle in my legs. I'd really like to be fit enough to do the swim tests that I did while training to be a lifeguard when I was really young.

I am the same height!!! I started out at 250lbs so as we know that doesn't look good on someone as short as us. lol I'm currently down to 199lbs. My goal is about 145lbs so I am still going strong. If I could get down to 130 that would be awesome but right now 145 would be great for me. Feel free to add me if you want more support. We could help each other.

I'm 5'2" and started at 145, I'm at 130 now and have been maintaining since June, I may kick my own butt and try to get to 120, we shall see, 130 is ok by me as well.

Hi
I see alot of post like this but I know that we ask so we can see how we ourselves are doing.
So on that note I am 5'1 started at 173 currently 127 and still going, I'm trying for 124.
However I keep reassessing as I reach my goals. 1st I wanted 140, then 130, now 124. I seem to be getting pickier with myself.
As for my fitness goal I'd like to run 5k in 25mins. I like seeing my body toned everywhere.

Hi tiffypooh! I'm also 5'2" and started out at 158lbs, now I'm down to 143! My goal weight is 125, since that's the size I was before I really started gaining weight, but realistically I think I'm better off at 130lbs.

I will be running my first half marathon on Oct 30th - Los Angeles Rock 'n Roll Half - with Team ASPCA! I'm raising money for the ASPCA - check out my website for more info! www.teamaspca.org/participant/RunningForAnimals

I was also training for a triathlon that took place on Sept 11th, but I couldn't rid my fear of swimming out in the open water, so I didn't go through with it afterall. But I'm sticking to my running routine and I cross-train on the days when I'm not running so that I don't get into the day-off slump.

My diet could be better... that's why I signed up for MyFitnessPal. It's very helpful in keeping track of my foods so that I can look back and know exactly how many carbs, how much protein and how much fat I have left to eat for the day. I'm not a big fan of counting calories, since I try to eat what's best for me as far as training goes, but that's helpful, too, I guess.

I'll cut it short and say congrats to you and your achievements! Good luck getting to your goal!!

I'm 5'2 and my goal is 120 or 125. I also have a small frame. I haven't seen 125 since the 7th grade I started off at 167 or 168.

I'm 5'2" as well. I started at 217 in November with a bootcamp class and just with that I lost 8lbs in about 2 months. I added working with a dietitian in January. Since then, I'm still doing bootcamp and I've added CrossFit one additional day a week (my bootcamp class is CrossFit based, but with less equipment) and Olympic weightlifting one day a week. I also started using MFP in the end of May.

Currently I'm at 174.8lbs. After talking with my dietitian (also one of my trainers) she thinks that 150lbs will be a reasonable goal for me based on the exercise I'm doing (muscle building/strength based workouts) and my frame (not meant to be "skinny") and I'm happy with that. I can see huge differences in myself since I started and I'm almost to where I need to be. (Okay, 2/3 of the way there.)

I'm 5'2" and my goal is 130lbs. I know I'm suppose to be smaller than that (according to the charts), but I think I'll look better if I still have a little meat on my bones.

You've lost a lot. I started on mfp at 159, but I've been 198 at a few points in my life. It just takes time and I'm willing to take it slow.

I don't know if this was for 5'2" only's, but I am 5'8"- current weight is 178-182 lbs. It changes daily. Sept 30 (175) and I would like to be 155 by December 30th.
