    Sorry about the bad picture this was 8 years ago

    are you trying to *gain* weight, or are you saying you've surpassed your goal by 5 pounds?

    I'm 5'3" and I would like to be 40lbs lighter. That puts me at a sz 6 and 160 lbs again. I'm happy there.

    I'm 5'3" and some change weighing in right now around 145. Original goal weight was 142 (which was my peak athletic performance weight in high school) but I'm realizing now that I still look a lot bigger now than I did then because my muscle to fat ratio was a lot different. So now I'm reevaluting... not sure how much more I'd like to lose since I have no inclination to go below a size 4 (I'm a 6 now) but I'm thinking somewhere around 134-136.

    When I started losing weight again I never thought I would want to be below the 140s cause I thought I would just look too boney but now I'm 3 pounds from my "goal" and nowhere near where I'd really like to be.

    Good luck ladies!

    Same height, going for 140 lbs. I want to tone up, I think I'd look sick at 130 lbs. Everyone's body is different. We'll see when I get to 140 lbs, if I change my mind.

    I'm 5'3 and I'm hoping to see 140. From there, I will decide if I want to try for more or not. :)

    I'm 5'3" and them some.... Like a half inch really matters?
    Anyways, I was in my best shape ever at 125, but now with much less muscle mass and body changes due to childbearing, i don't know what any weight would really look like. I didn't even really think I could actually lose anything, but am down even over the holidays. I think I'm shooting for around 130, which isn't that far away anymore, but I know those last ten lbs. can be killer. If you are looking or more support, friend me, I am too!

    I am 5'3'' as well. The highest I've ever been was 142, and I can't even stand that... Right now I'm hovering between 132-133, but I'd love to get to about 115. When I first moved to Chicago three years ago, I was 120 on the nose, and I liked that enough to maintain it, so we'll see what happens when I get back down to that.

    I'm 5'3 and at my heaviest I was 168lb. Down to about 158lb now (I had gotten to 154lb - 11st again, phew! but then Christmas happened)...

    At the moment I'm aiming to get down to 10st (140lb) but I'm sure that once I get there I'll want to lose more. I would love to be around the 135lb mark, but a toned 135lb.

    Here's hoping I can achieve it this year! My best weight loss has been since last September when I finally started working out properly instead of just walking - it's good for your mental health, but not sure much for making you sweat!

    I'm 5'4 and my heaviest was 155. I have fluctuated a lot in the last year or so, going from 155-147 and now am at 149.

    I was 125 before I ever went on birth control and have switched three times, I have been on the same pill now for almost a year and I am determined to get down to 130 pounds. I just want to feel good about my body...

    Being so short makes all the weight go to our abdominal area...I myself have a large tire around my waist that I want to be rid of.

    Us short girls can get through this and lose the weight!

    I'm 5'3" and my goal is 135lbs. I really want to be physically fit, muscularly, so I can rock climb. That's why I'm aiming a little higher than mid (for me) on the BMI chart.

    5'3" with a goal of 140...my body seems happy there. Unsure if I could maintain anything below 140.


    Highest was 160...not good.

    5'4" and goal is 130, about 6-7 pounds away. I think the hardest thing is going to be staying there..........advice from anyone!!

    My goal now is 150. I would have just under 20% body fat at that. If I go lower great, if I don't oh well.
