I'm 5'2 and my beginning weight when I actually tried to start losing weight was 215, two summers ago. I am currently 187/6-ish... and my goal weight is 160 for now. I think once I get to 160, I'll be super happy about it. I might even lower the goal to 150. I know that must be high for my height, but I have always been heavy, my whole life.It's been very hard for me to tell if I will change at all if I lost my weight.

It took me about 7 months just to lose 5-6 pounds because I kept fluctuating between 195 and 190. I'm happy now that I'm in the 180's but I really need to give myself some real challenges... don't know where to begin.

Money is tight, and I don't have a car to get to the gym often. I am at school a lot, and have a lot of things to worry about that I don't eat correctly anymore. Most days I find myself eating almost nothing at all, and then when I do get something to eat, it is probably bad and I eat a lot of it. But I'm trying to hang in there!

If anyone has tips for me to help me lose weight a little faster than I am now, or some good exercise tips that helped them maintain a good weight, that would be great. You can message me, or quote me here. I am very open to new things, and I gotta get this weight off as soon as I can.

I'm 5'3 (I feel tall in here) and my goal weight is 140. I have a large frame with a large chest and broad shoulders. With my body build, I gain muscle easily, but lose fat very slowly.

In high school I was this weight, but it was from radical fad dieting. Now I am doing everything the right and maintainable way (for me, may be different for someone else) by learning portion sizes, exercising, and not eliminating any food groups. Since I have never been that weight healthily I want to see what that looks like before I decide I may want to go smaller.

5" 2. 151. Weird thing is almost everyone I know doesn't think I'm fat at all and look at me crazy when I say I want to lose 25lbs. They ask me if I want to look like a twig (secretly yes hahaha). I should mention that I have double d's and a very round, nice badonk that I don't wanna lose. 145 looks really good on me bt according to BMI i should be at most 135. hmmm. Oh well. Trying it out. My body is sooo comfy at 150 though that even when I work out like a beast and look good I still at least 148. Frustrated and confused!!

I'm 5'2" and started at 139. I want to get to 120 but boy it's been a struggle. For the last 3 weeks I haven't lost anything! I'm somewhat muscular. I've had 3 kids and I'm over 40, so I'm trying to get to my desirable weight has been crazy hard. I don't see losing another 12 pounds in the next 6 weeks! But that's ok., I'm finding that at least I'm doing it slowly and it's making me more aware of the things I do eat. I don't do much weights these days (I used to work out 4-5 days a week with weights, hence the muscular build) but have been trying to kick butt on the cardio thing. I have however lost 11 inches total body.

I start the 30 Day Shred from Jillian Michaels tonight. I have read success stories on MFP, which made me buy it, but have any of you shorties had success with this?

I'm 5'1 and 130. I have a goal weight of 115/110, and then once I get there I will see how I feel.
I lost a lot of weight about a year ago because I was going through a hard time,and went down to 115.. but it wasn't a healthy way to lose weight! (I didn't look bad though!) This time I want to lose that weight steadily and slowly so that I can keep it off!!

I'm about 5' even. I want to get down to around 130 lbs but hope to pass that number as well.

I am 5'1 and my goal weight is around 130 lbs. I was able to get to 155 lbs in Sept '10 but I gained it all back. I am looking to do it the right way this time.

I am 4' 11 and weight 141 right now. My doctor and I agreed on a goal weight of 120. I too thought that was a little high but the way I am built she said she thought I would not look good if I lost much more than that. I have lots of curves. Anyway, I will be thrilled just to get to 120.
Good luck to everyone.

I'm 5'2" and currently am at 152. My goal is 135 and, like quite a few of you, I will reassess when I hit it. My lowest weight in my adult life was 130 when I got married 20 years ago, Since then, I have had two kids, enlarged my hips and started menopause. :huh:

Over the past couple of years, I have become a gym rat and work out regularly. I have added quite a bit of muscle (I actually have a butt!). However, being VERY busty and having a small frame to boot is a decision factor in my weight goals. I don't want to be any more out of proportion nor topple over. :laugh:

I'm 5ft and at the moment, I weigh 103.2lbs, I want to get back down to 94lbs, I've been alot lower so I think it's a good healthy weight for my height:)

Hi everyone

I am 5 1" and weigh 126 and 57 years old. I have a wii and you put in your age and height. When I reached that weight it told me I should lose another 11 pounds. I am big busted and have lost weight there also, thank goodness. I wear and size 4 petite pant now.

Where do you find the smaller sizes? I have had to order pants at Coldwater Creek. They only get a few they said. But if I lose another 10 pounds I will have to find sizes smaller than a 4. I do the wii step ( I bought the extension for the wii balance board) I do the beginner step once, the advanced step twice, and the wii continuous step for 30 minutes. I also do strength training with the wii 3 times a week. At night , I usually walk the dog 2 1/2 miles but not always every night, it depends how much exercise I get during the day. That is where the fitbit comes in.
