5ft 3 results.. please share!

At one point I weighed 103 and people told me I looked toooo skinny............ a picture in my profile I have a pic I think I was around 115..........right now I'm 134, looking to get back down to around 115-120

I'm 5'3" and I started at 234 (way obese), now I'm 145 My goal is 130, for a healthy range my doctor says that is my goal weight. I would look beyond sick if I aimed for 105, but every body type is different. I think you look amazing now.

And, I don't know how to post before and afters but you could go to my profile and see LOL :flowerforyou:

You look great now! Good Job! : D I am 5 '3 and I currently weight 145. My goal is 130 -135. I know my doctor said that for my hieght my ideal weight would be 129. I don't think I want to go below that but I guess well see once I get there.

Dr's go by a chart that don't take breast into consideration either...I asked my dr. what I should weigh, he brought out the chart and said at 5'2 I should be 115. I looked at him and he said, really for you, I'd say 125 ish.

I would look like a crack head at 115 at my age. lol

Yeah they go by BMI which is complete rubbish, I went to the doctors and was weighed (bare i'm mind i'm 5ft 3, have a large chest and used to be a dancer so still got some of that muscle) and came up as 10stone and was told I was pre-obese!! But i was a size 10!! (U.S Size 6) Muppets!!

I am also 5'3" starting weight this time is 162 my goal weight is 125. Last time I had to diet 5 years ago now I was 175 and got down to 115 was in fantastic shape 6pac of abs and all, but size 0's were falling off me I was just too thin. Looking back I looked and felt best at about 125 and had extra room in a size 2. I think 125 is sustainable for me a big issue.

I agree with the person that asked if you want to be in shape or do you want to be skinny. Great question to REALLY ask yourself either choice is ok but it is a choice you will have to make. To me I would rather be fit and have the scales read a little higher. If I can find pictures of then I will post. I wish you luck in hitting your goal I hate having to start over again but I guess I know a little more going into this weight loss so it was not all for nothing.

FIRST you look FANTASTIC.

Second, I would actually ask a friend, who you can trust, to watch you and let you know if you start looking bad from losing too much weight. I say that because I am 5"3.5' and I got down to 112 this past summer. All I could see was the fat still left on different areas of my body. I wanted to get down to between 108 and 110. People started asking me if I was sick, and a few people made remarks about me being too thin that I thought were out of jealousy, it was not until I went to visit my parents that my mom took me on a drive and in a very loving way told me that I was too thin and did not look as good as I did when I was around 114, I told a few of my close friends that had not said anything to me about this and they all agreed. Also, at 112, I was at the very bottom of where I should be in my BMI, running 19%.

So, I do not want to take away from all the hard work you have done but did what to share my personal experience with you so that you may learn from my mistakes.

Congratulations on the weight loss!

With respect if you are aiming to be toned & fit not just skinny you should not be looking as low as 110...because your muscle will make your scale weight more. You should be looking now at turning fat to muscle so therefore using measurements rather than scale weight. You already look amazing..do you really want to lose all your womanly curves?

Agree

When I wrestled, I held a steady weight of 104/ 105 and was muscular.

I'm 5ft 3. I started out a 205 and currently weigh 177. My goal is 135. ITs when I felt the healthiest and looked the best.

Im also 5'3 and im trying to get down to 135lbs. I started out at 172. I am now down to 147lbs. But I think you getting down to 105 is a little to skinny for you being 5'3. An ideal weight for 5'3 is between 120-135. I think you look awesome and you should just try and stay toned and not lose anymore weight.

I agree. I am 5'2" and aiming for 133. Even at 140 now I look great and feel great, I'm just trying to get myself in the healthy BMI range. I think you look fantastic as you are now and should just work on maintenance and strength training.

I'll put my "stats" in here as well... I'm 5' 3", starting weight was about 124/125. I've lost 2 lbs this week though I'm not just using MFP, I'm using some fat burning pills as well. Goal weight is 104, it's was I was when I wrestled and was most comfortable at that weight. I'll still have curves, as I've got a slightly large chest and some hips going on, so no worries with that! Good luck ladies, and those that posted pictures - You look amazing!!

I'm 5ft 2in and my goal is 120. Just started losing with a start weight of 140, I'm at 136.4 (I count the ounces! lol) It depends on your build, I can see 110 if you have a very petit, small frame. 120 is a great goal for me.

you look awesome! im also 5"3' at 137 lbs and want to get to 125 lbs.

You look fine, I would work on losing a little slower and gaining muscle mass. I am 5'4 and weight 155 now and people think I am too thin, they are kind, plus I have a large frame I am working on loss fat and retaining as much muscle as I can (possibly adding 4lbs more after I hit goal of 138).

I think you look great....too much smaller and you will look anorexic !! Congrats on your hard work !!
:happy:
