I was wondering which is the UGW of people that are the same height as me: 5'3.

My nutriologist said that mine was supposed to be 125 lbs
but I've always wanted to be 119 lbs

What is YOUR UGW?:)
«134

    I have an ultimate goal SIZE of 6. I used to be a size six 5 years ago and the weight sneaked up on me very slowly... I'm now a 10 (or a 12 depending on the brand, but for this I'm going off my jean size at the Gap) but hoping to be down to 8 by June and to 6 by the end of 2012. I don't care how much I weigh as long as I can be that small again. I think back then I was around 130-135 but I was pretty flabby since I never did any strength training. I lift weights now on top of cardio so I might put on some muscle weight. I'm trying to focus less on the scale and more on my measurements/how clothes fit me.

    I've been overweight for so long that I'll be psyched just to get down to 160! I'm 172 now.

    117, currently 125-124... but I personally haven't found my body shift much fat from 135-125... so I am not sure if 117 will do it either?

    120. I was around 130 for a while and wanted to lose more weight, but I'd be happy to be back there right now.

    whats a UGW?... I'm guessing the GW is goal weight not sure about the U?

    I'm just over at 5ft 3 and half and I'm aiming for about 9st 7first.. well just in the 9st range would be good to start with! I'd like to finally complete Wii fit and be 9st 3 (129lbs).

    I'm about medium frame I think so I doubt I'd look good under 9st.

    I'm less about a number than how I look and feel. Since I had my 2nd baby in 1998 I've usually been around 142. In 2010 I started bikng, and after my first summer, I hadn't lost any real weight, but I was looking a lot more trim, and I went down a bra size and I could tell I'd lost fat and gained muscle by the way my clothes fit. My advice is to not get hung up on a special number. Before I had kids I weighed 115, but I would rather look and be fit at 135 or 140 than go back to being skinny and not fit.

    My first goal is 140lbs (from 183), but I'm not sure exactly what weight I'll *finish* on.... I have med-large frame and look ill at anything under 9st (126lbs). 140lbs is the top limit for my healthy BMI so I guess somewhere between 9 and 10stone.

    This time around though I want to look fit and toned. Last time I was this weight I lost it by working very hard on my feet all day and not eating much due to the job! Now I'd like to be strong and healthy rather than just slim :wink:

    Edit: I'm pretty sure the U stands for Ultimate.

    My UGW was 145, but now I'm getting closer I think more like 130-135

    It used to be 120, but I'm actually aiming for closer to 130 since I discovered strength training...

    Well originally I said about 150lbs, till I did a bmi checker and realised I needed to be closer to 125 to be healthy. I think I am going to aim for 130lbs and see how I feel/look when I get there

    I'm going to say 125 because that is well within the healthy weight range but I think I would look best around 120 lbs.

    I put 145 as my UGW when I started because it was half of my body size. I think I'm suppose to be in the range of 120-141. But I will see how I feel when I get there! That UGW is always adjustable but looking at 145 to lose is my big big goal. I'm also in the older crowd (57) and I dont have a petit frame. Also, same height as you.

    124lb is my personal goal weight - I have been as low as 114lb in my 20s and 30s, but I'd look unwell if I was at that weight now, being somewhat more mature! My clothes fit me well and I have plenty of energy at that level.

    I'm currently 127.5 after the holidays, so back on MFP to shift those few lbs again.

    this is maybe making me evaluate my original goal weight.. i started off at wanting to be 120, then 110 but now i'm aiming for 105 because then i can stay between 110 and 105, which is still healthy in my bmi so it should be okay. but again i'm gonna see what i'm like when i get there.

    i want to have a nice flat stomach :)
