    I'm 5'2 1/2" and my goal weight is 120lbs. at present, but once I get there I would love to be 117lbs. I was feeling my best at that weight. I have a great deal to lose, but am determined. I was under 100lbs. when I first got pregnant (many years ago), so I'm a very small person under all this weight.

    I am 5"1 and I am 184 I started at 265! my goal is 140. People say that I am crazy for going that low and that I would look to thin. But this is what I want to be. The internet says that for my height I should be 100! Now that is too low! I started this journrey 12 months ago and I am looking for people to chat with. Thanks for the support

    My original goal was 130, but at 132, I realized I could go lower, so I lowered it to 115.

    102 lbs...
    I checked megan fox's BMI.
    for us 5'3", we must be ~ 103 to have similar body shape as her


    FYI- at 102, I'd be dead.
    Not exactly the "Megan Fox" look.

    Body Shape and BMI are about a lot more than just height and weight.

    140 is definitely not too low for someone who is 5'1". It was at 140 (the very top of the healthy range for my height) that I decided I was too heavy and needed to lose weight and I'm 2 inches taller than you.

    I'm 5'3" and my goal is somewhere between 120 and 135 (probably between 125 and 130). I will see how I look and feel when I get there. I am currently 148, down from 178.

    Yes, yes!

    Unless you have the exact same body as Megan Fox, you can't make that statement. Muscle, body shape, all sorts of things go into what we look like at what weight.

    At 144 pounds (overweight for this height) I wear a size 6. At 102, I'd be in negative sizes, a lot thinner than Megan Fox probably.
  • I'm 5'2 and currently at 121.5. However, it's a really unfit/flabby 121.5.... My goal is 115 and then reassess and go from there (no lower than 110, though). If I can add some lean muscle and see definition in my abs and arms, I'll stop wherever that is!

    Hey there,
    I'm 5'3" and currently got down to my first goal of 114, my next goal is 112 and then I will totally be happy with my weight and the challenge will be to keep it that way!

    Word! And I have been 125 lbs of skin and bones (and probably body fat) before... today I'm 131lbs and smaller than I was at 125 when I was 18! Muscle, baby! It RULES!

    I'm 5'3" and my goal weight was 110. I have a very tiny frame however. I'm at 103 now and look like a Bratz doll so I'm trying to add muscle. Had to significantly increase my calories.
  • 5'3 and my current goal is 140. I may change that to 130 depending on how I feel once I meet that goal. I am not a small frame so even with the MFP numbers, I would still be a healthy weight at 140. I am top heavy and thick legs so I just have to work on that little waist...well, I need to find it really! :happy:

    ^ this... I'm too thick built to ever be very thin which is fine for me.

    I'm 5'3". My goal is 145. Once I get there, I guess I'll see. I was 130 in high school and was a size 5. I'd be happy to be a size 8 now (currently in 10). So we'll see. It's hard for me to figure out a healthy goal weight because I have a lot of lean muscle mass (used to be a gymnast). I did a body fat analysis that gave me 155 as a maximum healthy weight. I don't see how that can be right, but I'd absolutely never get down to 105. I weighed at least that much in the 8th grade, and I was SCRAWNY.

    100 would be under 18 BMI, so it is very small. I think there are a very few women our height who can be healthy at that weight, and some who are at that weight without trying. But those are VERY few.

    I'm 5'3 and my goal weight is 125lb, which is a weight I had for many years and can mantain without feeling that I have to restrict myself too much. I tried to go down to 120lb some years ago, but I get really have to monitor what I am eating, which ruins my mood. And with 125 lb I feel fit and healthy, so that's what I am going for.

    135-155. I have my ticker set to 149 for an even 80 lbs. I'm 5'3.5"
  • Hello, I just started today and saw this. So I figured I would respond. I am 5'3" and my current weight goal is 135. I am a larger framed. I am 158 right now and I don't really look all that heavy. But anyway, that is my goal and I'll see how I feel once I get down there.

    I stand out at 145-160 but im not prepared to starve or train like a crazy person to maintain my new weight, which I know I would have to If i aimed for 145 or lower. Neither thus beeing that skinny suit me, I have a hourglassshaped body and thankful for it, the last thing I want to loose are my funbags, I mean, they are too funny to loose, right? But at the same time Ive never been lower then 140 so its hard for me to imagine how that would actually pin out.

    I'm an hourglass and my "fun bags" are there no matter what I weigh. If you lose them when you loseweight, you're not a true hourglass. Body shape is not dependant on weight.

    Thats not completly true since you can sculpt for example the butt to be bigger and jucier. And my funbags where still big when i was 145, and probably stood out more then they do now.

    I'm 5'3" and my goal weight is 135. I'm currently 175ish (i say ish because it seems to go up and down, and I stopped weighing myself for a while ha ha)

    It was 126 but now I'm there I still have a few more to go. I am a medium build & quite curvy so although some people are a UK8 at my weight I definitely am not. I still have a couple of pairs of UK10 trousers in my wardrobe that feel too tight on me so I guess for me it's not so much the weight but getting into clothes & feeling comfortable.

    I can't see myself ever going below 120 to be honest. I have been 110 before and looked too thin- but I was 18/19 and could get away with it. At 32 I don't think it would suit me.

    122 - 124 is where want to be at the moment & it's coming off slowly but surely. :)
