To you ladies who are 5'4", some questions :)

- what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)
- how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
- what is your goal weight and why?
- how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)
- and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) )


I'll answer my own questions too :)
- I am medium build
- I am 153 and in size 12 pants
- right now my goal weight is 140 mainly because I have no clue last time I was below 150 (my pre-babies weight) and its considered a healthy weight whereas I am considered overweight currently
- I am 30
- I have had 2 kids, both by c section, so have the below the belly button pooch and clothes that fit me at this weight pre kids don't fit me or don't fit the same, kids have defintely changed my body, especially in the hips/belly area

(and anyone that wants to add me as a friend, feel free to :) )

    I guess you could say I'm medium build.
    Currently I'm at 164 and I am wearing a size 12 jean but some brands I can get into a 10 but it's snug right now.
    My goal weight it 130, that should put me into a healthy BMI on the high end anyway.
    I am 29.
    I just had my first child on Groundhog's day!!!

    Hi Becca

    I'm 5' 4" I would say with a medium build, pear shaped. I carry most of my weight around my legs and hips
    I weigh 158 pounds right now and on average I wear a size 12 (UK)
    I would love to get to 140 pounds, because that was how much I weighed when I first met my boyfriend and in 6 years - I have never seen it since.
    I'm 28 and I don't have any children

    Hi,
    I am 5'3 1/2" and medium build.
    I currently wear size 6 to 8 pants (depending on the cut or brand) and weigh 132 pounds.
    My goal weight was 140 since it is the top of the healthy weight range for my height. I am trying to figure out how to maintain and am still losing weight (which isn't a terrible thing).
    I am 46 and have had 5 children, my first and last by C-Section and the other 3 natural births.
    I started out at 209 pounds last November. My Fitness Pal has been a fantastic tool for me!
    Keep up the good work!!! :smile:

    I have a large frame.
    I weigh 169 and wear size 12 or 14.
    My goal weight is between 150 and 155 because I look really skinny at that weight and don't want to lose all my curves.
    I am 38 years old.
    I have three kids.

    I'm actually 5'3.
    - what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large)
    medium

    - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear?
    164... depends on brands but I float between 10 and 12

    - what is your goal weight and why?
    goal weight 142-144 for now. Why? Because it seems like I could possible reach that weight and it's right around the weight I was at when I met my hubby 13 years ago.

    - how old are you (if you don't mind sharing)
    32

    - and have you had any kids? (I know from experience that can affect your body! ;) )

    I currently weigh 150.2 lbs and wear a size 10. My 12's still fit but look big (YAY)
    I want to be anywhere in the 140's but the lower side of the weight range would make be happier. I would LOVE to be in the 130 weight range but it has taken be forever to lose weight so I am not sure if I will ever get to the 130's.
    I will be 44 yrs young this month
    I have one beautiful daughter who is 16 yrs old.

    Have a great day!

    I am 5'4", age 49.
    My build is medium (I think)
    I weighed 123 this morning and I'm a size 4 (sometimes a 2 depending on cut)
    I'm shooting for bodyfat versus weight now. I'm around 18%, and working for 16% BF, so I'll probably need to lose another 5 pounds.
    No kids.

    I'm 5'2.5" and 125 pounds medium build
    size 4-6 (cut of manufacturer makes a difference)
    Heaviest was 167 pregnant, 140 after prenancy
    would like to stay at 125 or so, I was down to 117 but lost some of the curves that I love.
    My belly pooch is pretty much gone, and feel comfy in a bikini.... all thanks to logging my food/drinks and exercise on MFP

    Hello there.

    I am 26 and I am about 5'4, maybe .25 in shorter who knows
    I think I am medium build, and pear shaped as someone else said. I am mostly bottom heavy and my hips/saddle bags give me a weird triangle shape.
    Current weight: 132
    Size: 2-express or 4- dress pants, levis supreme curve, sometimes 6 or 7- juniors but I don't feel like it's right. In my mind, I think I am a 6
    When I was 170 I wore a size 11 at Old Navy
    My goal weight is 120, but I don't know if I can reach it with a healthy method. I'd be happy at 125. Reason is, I was 128-131 in high school but I did heavy lifting. I feel like I could be less than that since I don't have the muscle I once did. I was 121 freshman year of high school before I gained all of my muscle.
    Oops, almost forgot- no kids. I hope to be in the best shape before I get married and pop out babies! :)

    I am medium build
    My current weight is 142, I wear a size 9
    My goal weight is currently 125 but I am considering changing that if I am happy once I get to 130...I was always quite slim (averaged 120 to 125) and pretty lean until I hit the age of 40...then all hell broke loose!
    I'm 50 years young...lol
    I have two grown boys - 25 and 27!

    - I am medium build
    - I am 153 and in size 12 pants
    - right now my goal weight is 140 mainly because I have no clue last time I was below 150 (my pre-babies weight) and its considered a healthy weight whereas I am considered overweight currently
    - I am 30
    - I have had 2 kids, both by c section, so have the below the belly button pooch and clothes that fit me at this weight pre kids don't fit me or don't fit the same, kids have defintely changed my body, especially in the hips/belly area

    (and anyone that wants to add me as a friend, feel free to :) )

    - I am a small to medium build. Not really sure which one.
    - I am 160 and in size 12 pants but they are still tight. Before I started losing weight in July I was at 178 and wearing the same size 12 and they still fit the same even though I am 18 pounds smaller. :( very frustrating
    - My ultimate goal is to be 120 but would be happy at a heavier weight if I look good.
    - I am 31
    - I have 3 kids, Naturally but I carry my weight in the tummy. I got the pregnant belly look going on. No I am not pregnant.

    - I am large build, with an hourglass shape so I've always carried my weight well.
    - I currently weigh 202 or so, and wear size 18-20 pants.
    - My goal weight is 150. I weighed 170 in high school, and I've looked into what I should weigh for my height and build, and feel that 150 would be a great weight for me, but anything less I would start to look gross.
    - I am 27
    - I have 4 kids, but only had 3 pregnancies. The twins are the one that did a number on my stomach. I see surgery in my future :(

    I think I am small-medium build.

    Age: 32

    Current weight 137; Current size 6

    My ultimate goal weight would be 120 but I would definitely be happy at 125.

    I have one son (20 months old) and I had a C-Section.

    Hi ladies. I really believe frame size makes a difference.

    I am 5' 3.5" tall
    I have a small frame with the classic pear shape. I really do not have much muscle tone and never had.
    I currently weigh 120 lbs and am a size 4 or 6 (in jeans) if I can zip them up.
    My goal weight is 110 or less to fit back into my clothes which are mostly size 2-4.
    I am 46 years old with 2 kids via C section 10 and 12 years ago.
    I wouldn't mind weighing more if I could build some muscle.
