Hey I am 5ft and 125lbs. Goal weight is 115lbs.

I am keeping to 1200 calories, rarely eating back my exercise calories and exercising by walking everywhere, swimming, gym and yoga.

Anyone else with a similiar height and goal?

    My goal weight is 8st 7lbs...seems a way off but the time is going to pass anyway so may as well be losing weight too! Its my 40th in May and I want to be well on my way to goal by then, 16 weeks away...fed up of avoiding photographs and I want to have some taken at my parties...!
    How about your goal weight?

    Hi I am 5 ft and my goal weight is 110 lbs. Though my current weight is 10 lbs heavier than you.
    Is the 1200 calorie intake working for you?

    I am 5'1" and have been sitting around 150 for a couple years...my goal is 125lb and I have lost 8 in 1 month. 1200 calorie diet and am just starting an exercise routine, slowly, to strengthen thighs and weak knees.

    HaileeRobyn: Is it possible you are seeing yourself in the wrong light? You certainly must be far more beautiful than you are giving yourself credit for.

    Hi, I am 5`1 and weight 108lbs. I am only looking to loose 3 to 5lbs but I find it really hard. I worked all summer and lost 2. I am wondering what kind of exercise is going to burn the most calories for me.

    Hello fellow shorties :)

    I too am just under 5 feet tall and so far in my weight lose journey I have lost 46 pounds, with another 20 or so to go.
    I originally weighed in at 196.5, while that is very heavy for my height I did hold it very well - nobody would ever guess I was rounding 200 pounds.

    2 years ago I decided to make a change and I have been slowly losing that weight with the help of the body bugg and recently the fitbit - I also started up running and I have signed up to run my first 1/2 marathon this May. I am hoping that with that training the last 20 pounds will come off and I then have to maintain that new weight.

    Have a great day - feel free to friend me.

    I am 5'3" and in the 108-111 lbs range. I think you would benefit from getting in strength training to start gaining muscle now. The muscle will be good for your metabolism and fat loss.

    Hi....I'm 5'2 approximately 123lbs. My goal weight is 115. It seems like an achievable goal, but what stands in my way is "confidential eating". This is something I have been struggling with physically and psychologically. My confidential eating has caused me to forfeit gym time for eating time. I have to get this under control...right now it has control over me.

    I am 5 foot 2 and I am trying to get down to around 105pounds! I envy you!!!!!!! :)

    Right now weighing at 125, if i get down to 52 then i will further firm and shape. Just getting down to 52 is a uphill battle. Busy work schedules, eating at my desk. Even making the 7pm gym class is a goal since its always so busy.....eeeekk! Good luck :)
