Who is 5'1-5'2

I am 5'2. Unfortunately I currently weigh 169.8 but I am 6 lbs down from my SW and highest weight EVER.I'm taking this whole year to do a life change and lose 50 lbs. I really want to get down to 125. That was my average weight +/- 5 lbs before I 't college (I'm graduating in the spring). It is insane how much weight I put on. The stretch marks are the saddest part.

My goal weight is 145-150 (I'm weigh heavier than I look) and I eat about 1700-1800 calories a day. When I used to eat clean, I eliminated high sugar items, processed foods (breads, tv dinners, etc). I don't eat 100% clean anymore. I'm probably 60-70% now.

I'm 5'1 1/2/ goal weight 120 but i'll be happy at 135, as of today im 149 / if i exercixe 1800 cals tops if i dont, then 1200 -1300 / i eat everything that is home cooked, nothing processed. I enjoy the occasional slice of pizza, baskin robbins ice cream and whatever else i desire, all in moderation of course.

I am 5 foot and started at 132 my goal is 115. I currently am 123 and stuck there. I am supposed to eat 1200 cals a day. I eliminated all pops and juices. One of my main snacks is a hard boiled egg or carrots with homemade hummus.

I'm 5'2". My current weight is 145 lbs, down from 150ish. My goal weight is 120 or, if I can make it happen, 115 like I was in highschool. But I would be happy with 120. My maximum calorie intake is 1200 calories a day. Some days I come within 100 calories of it, some days I'll only eat 600 or so. Since throwing out all the bad things in my house, I find when I'm home on the weekends, I tend to eat better just because I don't want to get dressed to drive and get some gross fast food or something.

Im 5'2 and I currently weigh 168.4, which is my HIGHEST weight EVER!! I lost about 30 lbs almost 2 years ago and I have obviously slacked on my health. I cut down my red meat intake, pop, and sugar, doubled my fruits and vegetables, and protein shakes are helpful. I also exercised 5 times a week but that included walks in the neighborhood with my dog and weight lifting. I am a little discouraged but the more I log my foods into my diary the more obvious it is that I need to keep going. My goal calorie intake in 1330.

I'm 5'1

current weight 120, goal weight 110. I feel like my body refuses to go under 120. I have basically cut out all sugar (except fruit) and most breads. Main foods I eat are yogurt, peanut butter, sweet potatoes, chicken & fish, salads, sometimes ezekial breads. I've been doing 1200 cals/day for about 3 weeks.

i'm 5'2 and can have 1310 calories a day

I'm 5'1" and I eat about 1200 a day. I'm currently 124 after getting to 121 before the hoildays... My highest was 154 in July 2010 and I've been working since then to lose the weight. My goal is 115 but like a lot of you have mentioned I'm having trouble getting below 120 and the weight is coming off sooooo slowly since I got to a normal weight. How much do you all lose per week on average? I'm starting to wonder if 115 is unrealistic. That's what I weighed in high school (I'm 27 now) but I was barely eating then so I'm not sure it's attainable while eating healthy.

I eat about 1000-1200 calories a day plus exercizing. I seem to be doing pretty well though and my BMI keeps going down! Don't need to change anything as of yet.

GW: 105-110
CW: 117
SW: 128 (138 right before birth)
Height: 5'1"
Age: 29
Sex: Female

I'm 5'1, 5'2 on a good day (in heels, lol) My SW: 191 highest ever! CW: 161 so 30 pounds down and still at it! GW: 130. Once I hit that mark then I will try to lose more, but for now that feels like a stretch. I eat about 1200 a day and work out 5 days a week. Most of the time I don't eat back my exercise calories, but if I'm feeling indulgent or like I "earned/worked hard" for something I will. I tried eating clean, paleo diet, south beach, etc and I found I was a VERY grumpy and cranky person when I couldn't have something. So now I have to work hard for it and even then only have in moderation. Love Zumba, Running, biking, strength training...if any of those are the same for you feel free to add me!

I am 5'2. My goal intake each day is 1230 calories... and I work out 3 times a week for about 30+ minutes then on the days I don't I do light, moderate pilates. lol I do eat pretty clean. Majority of what I eat is, natural... nothing that comes in a box or bag unless its lettuce or yogurt.. plus I drink tons of water... 2 liters or more a day!

I know I could lose weight more rapidly if I started exercising more but I just have no desire..I can't stand the gym. no desire to go at all. I walk the dog at a fast pace, sometimes an hour an day, thats all I want to do! am i lazy? lol. Its winter here in Chicago, in the summer I love to get out and run the dog. So i'll probably start that in a couple months. I think my metabolism is just stuck and probably needs a boost. I generally have eaten healthy my whole life and have maintained 120 for the last few years.

5'2" - for me no exact goal "weight" because scales are way to inaccurate to tell you true body composition. I have a range, about 10 lbs less then I am now. But I may change that.

Rather I am aiming for rough bodyfat range, which I will reevaluate as I go also.

I want good muscle definition, but softness, and some carving in the abs. getting close.

Right now, I am at least one- two sizes "smaller" clothing wise, then when I weighed this weight before.

Difference is, I have more muscle mass now, so I am leaner, tighter, more toned, and look better naked, then I did before
Thats my goal.

I am curvy, and have always weighed heavy, because of muscle mass from athletics.

And I never wanted to get to the recommended "official" range for my height, as when I get there I loss my curves, and face looks gaunt. Smallest I have been is a Junior size 7, 120 lbs, and I don't like it. No curves, to many sharp edges. Size 8 is nice. I am 8/9 now. (Junior) But much firmer and tighter.

I do not personally eat all clean. Thats not my goal, and I do not feel its necessary to get me where I want to be. I do choose nutrient dense foods options, so I meet my macro range, which for me, protein is the biggest concern. 40/30/30 is my rough range, my biggest concern is high enough protein levels. (1 gram per lb lean body weight)

I do try to make good food choices, but we do eat some processed foods, sugar, white flour etc, and junk food on occasion. Just stay in our macro and cal ranges. I also have a free day once a week. I add food in my diary, but often good 1000 or more over, and may eat anything. Pizza, Theater popcorn and soda, whatever I am craving that day. Next day, back on track.

Works well for me and my family, and we meet our cal goals, and are very healthy, and feel satisfied, not deprived. I have no forbidden foods or food groups in my diet. But do use moderation.

I started MFP at 1200 cal, lost weight but stalled out, then slowly tried upping cals, staggering cals, eating more exercise cals, working out more or less etc. Changing things up.

Nothing worked for more then a lb or two, then I would stall again.

I now use the Olivia Method, which is MFP, but you just use it a bit differently, and that is working better for me I think. I currently eat about 1500-1600 or so cals a day, eating back some exercise cals. With the Olivia method, you track it more based on end of day, end of week amounts eaten/ left. I eat mostly the same all days, workout or not, except my free day.

I lift heavy 3 days a week, 45-55 min. I have HIIT, or intense cardio for 45 min to an hour at least 5 days a week. I never goto the gym, I workout all at home. P90x, P90x2, and treadclimber are what I use and like now. But also have used and like Rushfit, Chalene Extreme, and others.

I don't love exercise - but I LOOVE the results. You just make yourself do it - just like brushing your teeth. Its a daily habit.

Its cool at 47 to have people think I am 35. LOL, and to shop in the junior dept, single digit sizes, and look good in swim ware.

I typically workout twice a day, 5 days a week, once on day six, one rest day.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the only way I am able to get the last fat stores off. I am older at 47, and have seen some studies that older women, need 60 min of exercise a day, just to maintain.....yuck. I have lost almost 60 lbs total over a few years, starts and stops here and there. Tweaking things as I go, to see what works for me.

Anyway, this is what works for me. Not everyone of course.
