Hey everyone!
I'm fairly new to this... I'm about 5'1" and was wondering what a safe goal weight for me is! I was thinking about 110, (I'm currently about 117) but I honestly have no idea; all my friends are way taller than me! I know it depends on muscle, but If any girls out there who are about the same height could help me out or give me some kind of approximate weight, that would be awesome :)!!

Thanks!

    I was going to shoot for 120, then changed it to 105. However, I'm going to scrap the scale and just shoot for around 20% BF. If I lose more weight than I already have (I'm 138 right now), then it'll just be a nice bonus!

    I'm 5'1.5". My goal is 127 lbs...... Seems a little higher than most but I'll reassess when I get there. I'm more concerned with preserving my lean body mass and reducing my body fat, though I want to keep my body fat above 21% to support a future pregnancy. I'm 35 and haven't had kids yet.

    I'm 5'2" and 113 lbs. I am still not happy. I am not really concerned about the pounds but I'd like to be around 18-20% BF.

    I am a curvy 5' 2" (CW172) so I set my goal for 125 but I may be happy when I reach 130 - heck or even 135 - I was 130 when I met my husband at 18 (10yrs ago) and I liked my body then.....

    i would like to hit 128 nicely in the middle of healthy BMI for 5'2". I've always been bigger, even in HS I would place(anywhere form 6-3rd place) in track at meets for the 100m dash and the 110 high hurdle at 140lbs,( who said big girls cant sprint?!) so getting rid of the extra chub (now that im 25 and def. not as active) and bringing back my muscular bod would be ideal.

    I am 5'0 and I currently weigh 126 and I am not happy with it. I'd like to lose 5-10 lbs and tone up my belly (I've had 3 kids)

    I'm 5' 2" and my goal is 125. I might reevaluate once I get there, but I know I don't want to get under 120.

    5'2 3/4'', and I'm 104. I'm content with that. I do want to lose more fat and gain muscle, so I'm prepared for a jump in the scale. I'm about 20% body fat

    I am 5'2" and 43 yrs old. I have been extremely heavy my whole adult life. I was always very athletic as a kid, teens, and early 20's. Originally, I was thinking 145-ish is a good place to shoot for. Mostly now, I just have a goal to get my waist to under 30 inches, and where I feel really good. Once there I will re-evaluate. It is good to see all these various numbers, though. Keeps me thinking and wondering where it will land when I finally get there. (And I WILL get there this time!!!)

    Do you use a body fat caliper to measure your BF?? I have no idea what my BF is, and don't know the best way to measure it.

    5'2" and goal will likely be around 125. I'm actually aiming for a body fat percentage rather than a weight number. So, around 19-20% body fat would sound good to me.
