Women 5'-5'2": What is your goal weight??

I'm 5'2 and I currently weigh 117 as well. I'm trying to get down to 110 too! But I lift weights a lot, which definitely impacts how much I weigh.

Personally, I'd focus more on body fat percentage rather than the weight number.

Geeze, every post I read is making me depressed :laugh:

I am 5'1.5 (yes, I count that half inch!), and my goal weight is 150. Now, I am not sure of the build of other people, but I have been pretty athletic all my life and mainly put my excess weight on while I was sitting at a desk.
I have A LOT of muscling in my legs and arms and core areas, and when I felt fit and healthy, I was around 150lbs. That may have changed, but I am still aiming for 150 as my goal.
I am not built along slim lines anyway, and I feel that if I was at the weight shown on the doctor charts, I would essentially be nothing but bones and skin, and to me, bony is NOT healthy. My doctor agrees with me (though she'd prefer 130!) that a goal of 115 (which is what the chart says for me) would not be healthy for my body shape and style. It would mean a major loss of the muscle that I already have to put me to that weight. I'd rather have muscle and shape than skinny, but that's my preference.
Body styles vary, so it's more of where you FEEL healthy than where a chart says you should be.

I'm 5'2, and right now I'm aiming to get to 130. Once I get there I'll give myself a look and see how much more I think I should lose, if any. I'm of a rather broad and stocky build, so I'll probably always be on the higher end of the scale, but that's fine.

I'm 41, 5' 1.25", started at 135, currently at 125 and not working to lose much more weight, just tone up.
I am pear shaped and have been too skinny (when I was very sick with a parasite I picked up in Mexico)
and weighed less than 100 and never wish to be scrawny again. I wouldn't mind eventually losing another 2-4 lbs.
Don't want to lose my curves.

I'm 5'2.5" and am 97 pounds, sometimes 95 pounds depending on how I ate that week. Anorexia recovery. Goal weight: 105-110, at first.

I'm 5'2" - goal weight is 136. That puts me in the healthy BMI range. Anything after that is a bonus

I'm 4'11" and currently 137 I am shooting for 120 we'll see how droopy my skin gets and go from there I'm 56 and worrying about getting a droopy turkey neck.

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 have to say I have not read through all the posts but this is the advice I have - check out this link - http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/. Calculate all of your pertinent measures - Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), Body Fat %, Goal Body Weight based on body fat %>

With these tools you can set the goal that seems right to you.

good luck in your journey.

Incidentally, I am 5'0". I have been on MFP just a few weeks and have learned a lot. Feel free to add me as a friend if you think our goals are similar enough to help you.

I'm just under 5'3 and weigh 124. I have fluctuated between 122 and 124 in the last few months. I eat extremely healthy and workout 6 days a week. I wear a size 4 and have tone. i looke great. I wouldn't mind going down to 117 but that probably won't happen as I build strenght and tone. I'm ok with that because I'd rather look healthy than reach some arbitrary number on the scale. I look gross under 117. I am pear shaped.

I'm 29 and 5'2". I am currently 110 and my goal weight is 100. Sounds low, but I'm small framed and pretty flat chested too!

Hi! I am 5 foot, 36 year old and currently weigh 138.2 lbs. My goal is 120 lbs. It is the top limit of my BMI. This was my former weight when I graduated from college. I was curvy and toned at this weight. If I go to 110 to 115 lbs., I look like a kid. I figured four kids (two are stepkids), I should like a woman instead of my kid's playmate. :laugh:

It really depends on your body frame. I'm 5'1 and currently around 137 lbs. I would like to get down to 130. That seems high for my height but I am very curvy on the bottom half and I'd like to retain that (and my boobs, haha!) and when I was under 130, I was lacking a little in the curve department.

I'm 5' 2" and I'm shooting for 110 ... I've been there before and know I look good at that weight ... I'm 129 now so I've got that last, hard 20 lbs to lose. I'm also shooting for 15 -20 % body fat. I'm at 29 now. my scale measures it for me so I'm keeping track of it weekly with my weigh ins. good luck to everybody in reaching their goals!

Hi... I'm 5"1 and still have tummy/thigh/arm fat to lose. I wanna be 88 pounds. (please don't kill me) I am eating and working out right so I do not have an ED.

I am 36 5'2 and my goal weight is 115.... I just started MFP and my current weight is 169.1 so I have a long way to go to goal...
