    My First Post!!! I always say I'm 5'3" on a good day (I've been measured as low as 5'1" and as high as 5'4"). Christmas 2010 I was up to 140 (my biggest ever). In high school and college, I was always the small girl, ranging 90-100 lbs. Looking back at pictures, that was too thin (my arms looked like tooth picks and I had a shape like a boy). Now at 124, with a girlish figure (mostly hips), I would like to be 115, but only if it means staying curvy and not turning into a pear.

    5'4" & low 130's are ideal for me! :-)

    I'm 5'3 and my goal is 130lbs. I'm currently at 156. I'll be really happy if I get to 140 since that was the weight I was before I had surgery removal of my thyroids. Which makes it even harder to lost weight. I'm excited to start losing more weight this year. Hello 2012!

    5'3 and hoping to get down to 115 lbs. I'm in the same situation as a few others here...don't get the best reaction when I say I'm trying to lose weight. 130 just isn't the right weight for me.

    Im 5'2" and my goal is between 110-120lbs
    whatever looks best on me.

    5'2 and my goal is about 115-120:) (Or at least more tone) I never get a good reaction when I say I like to workout/want to be more fit. People have straight out called me vain, or shot me mean looks!
    Does anyone find it tougher to lose weight being short?

    hi, 5'2" and would love to get to 120lbs (currently 130lbs and feel so heavy)
    dont like how people look at me when i say i want to lose weight :0(
    good luck everyone x

    I'm in the exact same boat as you, 5'2, 130lbs. People look at me like I have 2 heads when I talk about losing weight, but they don't get that this is nearly 20lbs heavier than I was a couple of years ago, you feel the difference...and see it as my weight is mostly in my belly and bum. Now I'm not saying I need to be back to 110, but 120 And toned up would be fantastic! Best of luck!

    I'm 5'3 and my goal is 130 for now - 7 pounds to go. I was 123 at one point years back but for our height that was really lean - I'd love t0 get there again! I guess it depends on everyone's body type as well. I think 130 is a great goal for 5'3.

    My goal weight is 125 ! Right now I'm 140 and I think I'll use more the mirror than the scale to really know when I'm done losing and want to start maintain !

    Don't let your doctor make you focus too much on specific numbers. We are all built a little different and if you are comfortable at 160ish, go with it because it is not big at all

    I'm 5'2 and 26. My goal weight is 145. I would like to get lower than that, but I don't think my body is built for much less than that.

    I'm 5'3" and my goal is 130. That's about 75 lbs to go :(

    I'm 5'3.75, and my current goal is to get down to 130(154.5 as of this morning). 24.5 pounds feels totally do able. When I get there, I will reevaluate, as I think(with my very small frame) I should be about 120. So, that's the 'pie in the sky' goal, which will get reevaluated once I get down to goal number one. If I look great at a toned 130, then that will be fine. I want to feel good in a bikini this summer!

    I'm 5' 3". I decided to pick a goal of 5 lbs and stop when I get comfortable. Every time I set a large goal I seem to give up so I am shooting for small manageable goals. Hopefully that will help me stay motivated. I know I can loose 5 lbs! So far I'm down 8

    It's amazing how different bodies are! I'm 5'2" and currently 129, but the lightest I've been is 122. My goal for now is 120, and then I'll re-assess.

    I'm 5' 3" and 3/4. LOL

    At first my goal was 135. Then my nutritionist told me for my height, 141 was doable. I guess I will wait and see how I look. I have friends my height, and when they were in the 130's they looked thin and frail, sickly. Their words, not mine. So I'll wait and see.

    Plus everyone is different. You have small, medium and large boned people. What one weight looks good on one, it may not look good on another. :)

    I'm 5'3'' and I have a large frame. So I'm thinking that I'll get down to 150 and see where I am. I was 130 in high school so I know it's possible.
