5' 3" females - What's your goal weight

I'm 5'3 as well, with a goal weight of 130 at the moment.
I think you should aim with right now what you are comfortable, either it be 5 or 20 pounds.
Start off small, maybe 5 pounds for a goal, and when you get there decide if you would like to go lower or if you are satisfied.

I would be happy to see 130. I've been 135-140 for a few years. I can diet, exercise what have you and still stay around this mark...apparently it is my healthy weight! But I will admit there is a tiny voice in my brain that remembers when I was 115 and 120 twenty years ago and that voice still struggles to be heard once in a while despite my knowing better.

I'm 5'4 and my goal weight is 135. Once I get there I will reevaluate

Mine is 130. I got done to 123 about 4 years ago and slowly crept back up becaue the grilled chicken/steamed broccoli diet I did to get there wasn't really the life I wanted to live.

I'm 5'3...Started at 170. At the time I thought 150 would be okayish. Got to 150, didn't like how I looked. Decided 140. Got to 140, don't like it either. My new goal is 130, guess we'll see how I look there.

I'm aiming for 135lb at the moment. Not too fussed about whether I go any further or not. I just want to lose 20kg and be happy within myself. If you are happy at 135lb then that's great. Aim for what you are comfortable with. Some people look great at 125lb and some of us look ill at the same weight. Good Luck.

Have you seen the pix of the two ladies same height, same weight, but totally different build? It's not as important what your weight is, as much as your muscle tone and physical endurance. And also of course, how you feel about yourself

I am 5'3 and I am aiming for 140 when I get there we will see. I don't want to look tooooooo thin

5'2"

My first goal was 140 lbs. Once I met that, I reset my goal to 135lbs. Have been maintaining around that for about 4 months, and after Christmas decided to reset a new goal of 130 lbs.

There's quite a few users on MFP who are really looking to get to the lowest end of their healthy weights - you have to remember that there's quite a big range of "healthy weight", and not feel compelled to copy other users' goals. Find out what's right for YOU.

I am 5'3, My current weight is 137, i am up 10 pounds from June of 2010. I quit smoking and put on a few pounds unfortunately. I will say that when i was at 127 it was way different than the 127 i weighed 5 years ago when i got married. It appears due to my desk job and lack of exercise, i have lost an insane amount of muscle, so even though i weighed 127 last year, i could not fit into my old clothes (which was shocking and devastating to me at the time, but a real eye opener).

The reason I say all of this is that a certain weight is not always the best "goal". Each person has a different body type, muscle mass, etc...so even if most people on the forum are looking for 120, you may be just perfect at 130!! I realized that just because i weighed a certain amount (ie-120,125,130), my weight really didn't matter if my body didn't look the way i wanted it to look. Because of that, my goal is to get into a size 4, that is the size i am most comfortable at.

But to answer your question, MFP has you set a weight goal and mine is set at a pie in the sky number of, you guessed it, 120, LOL!! It was a high school weight for me and realize its not too realistic for my now, but i really dont pay too much attention to it. Like i said, my goal has more to do with how muy body looks and feels To each his own and good luck! Sorry for the long post!!

I'm 5'3 and I'm at my goal weight of 135. I say "goal weight" because I feel comfortable here and don't have any desire to lose any weight, but I might end up losing some weight because I'm eating better and working out more.

I weighed 160 lbs at my heaviest, about 5 years ago, and I carried my weight pretty evenly, but I know that was too heavy for MY body. For someone else, I have no trouble believing they could be very healthy at 5'3 and 160.

I know women at 5'3 can be in the "healthy" range at 113, but I think that is TOO LOW for my body. Someone who is built very, very small might be able to weigh 113 (and I think I've known some of those women) but definitely not me. I've always had REALLY large hips (even now, my waist is 27 and my hips are 40), and I know there's no way I could get down to that weight without starving myself.

I'm very happy at 135, in terms of pounds. In terms of body composition, I'd like to have a little less body fat (right now I'm around 25%). I was really happy to see most of the women in this thread have REALLY reasonable goal weights! So many women our height want to weigh things like 110.

I am 129 now and GW of 125. I was down to 118 a few years back and looked to skinny. I like muscle though. I want to look athletic. soooo hopefully i can get to 125 by summer

im 5 3" and my weight goal is 125 lbs...but ive got a LONG way to go!!
