    I'm just a bit under 5'2. I weigh around 128 right now. Sometimes I get down to 125 if I eat 1,200 calories daily and workout, running 6 miles and doing BodyPump every day for like a week haha. It's hard to maintain that! I'd love to weigh around 120 or 115 but right now I'd be happy to just have a flat tummy because I'm quite hippy (38 inch hips) so that's where a lot of my weight is but I actually don't mind it!

    5'1 and currently at 132. It's funny because when i was 116, i thought I was huge and wanted to be around 108. I gained weight and now I am dying to get back to being 116. It is tough! Goal weight is about 120....:)

    I'm 5' 1" and I'm right around 120 (I believe.. I don't weigh, because I don't want to be fixated on a number). Right now, I would like to swap out a couple more lbs of fat for muscle. I don't have a gym membership and do all my working out at home, or walking during lunch. I'm pretty good with my cardio, but really lacking in strength training.. I really need to shift my focus to that.

    I would like to get down to 120-125 but my body doesn't cooperate.

    I'm 5' 1" and my gw is 115#. I know I can get below that, but that is not something I can maintain without being obsessive. So, I think 115# is good.

    I'm 5'2" and my goal is 130. I like my curves and that's where I think I will feel most comfortable.

    I am 5ft 1.25" and at my highest (except when pregnant) was at 135. I got down to 125 last August and am fairly happy with where I'm at as far as my weight, although I wouldn't mind losing up to 5 more lbs. I am focusing on toning right now so going more by
    measurements than weight. A an adult, I was always around 100-110 until I hit my mid 30's and after 3 kids my shape has changed a bit. I wouldn't want to be that skinny anymore.

    I am 5 feet and my goal weight is 123. I'm at 131 now, and I don't seem to be budging off this number!! So frustrating!

    5"2 and weigh 116-120. Run a lot and now working on gaining muscle!
    Wish those love handles would disappear, but alas they seem to be the last to go. :(

    I am 5'1", I currently weigh around 180. The lowest I've been since college (I'm 31 now) is 140, and I started at 190 then. I'd LOVE to see 120, but I am not a small frame.

    I'm 5' 0.5". I'm shooting for around 107 but plan to re-evaluate this decision at 115 and then 110 if I opt to go below 115. I'm currently eating about 1350.

    I was the same! I had no idea what hit me. I'm 5'1.5" and was at 132. 7 years ago, I weighed around 100lbs and never thought I would balloon out like this. My goal weight is also 120. I think it's best to focus more on how your body looks than the weight. I would love to tighten up all of muscles and be at 125 than be at 120 with no muscle mass at all. Although 120 with muscles would be wonderful!:love:

    I'm 5'1. I'm currently 133 and my goal is 119.

    I love having curves and my hips are wide (bone) so I can't see me getting much below 119 and maintaining easily but I guess I'll have a better idea if when get nearer!

    To be honest, I don't mind being anywhere below 126 as long as I'm toned, which is what I'm working on the most right now.

    I am 5 feet and 101lbs. I would like to maintain my weight but lose quite a bit of fat I have all over my body (it is pretty high at 26%) and gain some muscle. I am eating 1200 cals a day and the fat is still hanging on :( so I think I might bump it up to 1300.

    I am 5'2" 35yrs old and my goal weight is 130 right now. I may adjust it though once I am there. We will see. But, I know my healthy weight starts at 136 so I am almost there. I weigh 138 now.

    I'm 5'2 and currently 131lbs
    A few years ago I was 115 and felt pretty good, my goal now is between 115-125, i'll have a better idea once I can see how my body starts looking! Trying to build some muscles so I might end up at the higher end of that, but i'd be totally fine with that as long as the belly i've developed is gone :)

    I'm 5'1" and my goal is 123. I started at 223 and currently I am at 142. I've been doing some strength, but as soon as I reach my goal I plan on focusing on it more.

    I'm 5'1" and I would like to get to 120. I am currently at 147 but my highest was 178.8. But if I'm higher on the scale and toned I'm good with that as well! I just want to look good in a swim suit again! LOL!

    My goal weight is 140. I have a large frame, and my current weight is 170. I do not LOOK like I weigh 170 at all though.. I'm just trying to get a bit more slim.
