Who is 5'1-5'2

At PrinkPrincess, congrats on the 3 healthy pounds. At 5'2" I know that 125 pounds on me looks heavy, where as someone 5'10" looks really skinny. Keep up the great work.

I am 5 1 I am currently at 125, I was 137 when I was preggo w #3.. I want to get down to 115. I really try to stick to unprocessed foods and whole grains, its HARD I dont have a lot of time to exercise with a job and 3 kids

Hi Everyone,

I am 5'2 and at the present time i weigh 140. At my highest i was 220. My lowset was 119 in 2009 with Weight Watchers. I made Lifetime but i am tired of all the back and forth with the new programs and points so i have decided to come back to MFP.

It seems since my 46th birthday last month the weight just will not come off as easy as it use too. I think i might be in the beginning stages of menapause anyway i have cut my carbs down to about 140 . The only starchy carbs i eat are my oats for breakfast the rest are veggies and fruit.

I keep my calories under 1500 a day. I run 3-4 mile 6 days a week and lift weights 4-5 days. I feel my best at about 125.

Thanks for this thread..it is nice to see ladies i can relate too

Glad to have seen this thread! I have been trying to lose weight for about 2 years, I gain or maintain. I am always told to eat more, you will lose weight lol. Dont go below a certain cal amount, you will starve. Well, after reading that some of you are eating 1400 I am going to try that. It is so frustrating to lose weight, and I have quite a bit to lose for a shorty lol. I am 5'1/2" and weight 213. That is not my heaviest weight, trying very hard to not gain anymore weight while trying to figure out how to lose it. I always end up quitting after a month or so of seeing no changes, so hopefully this time, it will work. Thanks!

I'm 26, 5'1 and 2 kids
Fat my whole life.
Went from 200.5 to 185 and then got down to 146.
I currently weigh 149 lbs and trying to get to 132 lbs, which is considered healthy :-)
I run and eat clean.

I'm a tiny 5"2.. I try to eat around 1200 and i want to lose about 10 more pounds to weigh 100 pounds. I know it sounds very low but that's my choice I eliminated all types of fizzy drinks, mayo and try to eat chocolate and ice creams only on the weekend and in small portions ...add me if u like

I am 5'1. My goal weight is 118. Once I began participating in the Whole30 program, I noticed the weight start to fall off. Eliminating sugar and dairy has really helped. I found this works well with exercise. My calorie intake is 1200 calories but I exercise at least 90 minutes a day.

I'm 5'1'', and I eat 1200 calories a day. I just started this yesterday, so wish me luck! I'm not positive what my goal is yet. I want something that is easier to maintain, so it will be the higher end of my suggested range. Plus DH likes my curves. What does eating clean mean?

I am 5'1" and I currently weigh 123 and stuck!! My goal weight is 118..I was set at 1200 and I just upped it to 1300 to help lose these last stubborn pounds. I am Italian so we love our CARBS but I try to stay away from most haha...I LOVE all foods! I eat everything because I found out the more you cut certain foods out of your diet, the more you will crave them and binge eat them. So I have a little piece of chocolate daily And ice cream and popsicles throughout the week! I just do sugar-free and small portions!!

I am 5'2 and currently weight 199.4 lbs, yikes it is very scary to see that in writing When I started MFP a week ago I was 205 and I am consuming 1300 calories and working out every day (1800 calories with my exercise calories). I am completely embarrassed and humiliated that I look like this. I haven't told a single person I know that I am doing MFP, seems like when I tell people what I am trying to do, I put too much stress on myself to lose lots of weight because people are always watching me and I fail SO BIG. So trying something new here and so far so good. I really enjoy the community posts, they are extremely helpful and everyone is so pleasant, it's nice.

yeah Im right up there too, it is a hard pill to swallow being 209lbs *as of now started out 214!!! eeeek!!! Anyway, whenever I think " this exercise hurts!!" and want to wuss out at the gym I say no being 209 hurts!!! keep going!! LOL!!

anyway, Im 5'2

SW: 214
CW: 209
GW: 145 ( Im pretty muscular due to martial arts training in the past and always have had bigger calves and thicker muscular arms and Im okay with that )

I feel that 145 looked/felt great on me so that is what Im going for now, perhaps I will pick a new goal when I get there only time will tell! Right now I would just be THRILLED to get under 180lbs again! * havent seen that number in ten years, so that is a start!

I am nursing still so I get about: 1870 calories a day and usually after a heavy lifting/ cardio workout I earn 2100 or so but usually am 300 or 400 under my goal, its just sooooo much to eat! uuuggghhh LOL

about clean eating, the thing I am weaning myself off of is sugar. I only have a lil in my morning coffee, and drink a diet soda on occasion * use to get those huuuge mc donald dr peppers for a buck!! at LEAST two times a week! eeewwweeee... diabetes runs in my fam so I figure it best to cut it out just in case. even tho I been tested already and was neg. better to be safe than sorry!

I'm 5'3.5-5'4 and my goal is 105.

I'm 5' 1.75", started at 164, now I'm about 121, which I have been maintaining for a few months. I don't really have a goal weight in mind at the moment; instead I'm thinking more about body composition. I'd like to burn some last lingering belly fat and add some muscle mass. I'm not going to totally eliminate cardio, since I enjoy several activities (Leslie Sansone walk at home, step aerobics, outdoor walking, and bike rides), but I'm going to add more strength training. Just have to work on the diet part and what / how much to eat to obtain the results I want.

Hey I am 5'2" as well.

Heaviest was 169, currently I am back and forth between 135 and 137. My goal weight is 125. It used it be 135 but I am around that now and still have a bunch of fat to lose and am still unhappy with the way I look.

I usually eat around 1,400 - 1,800 depending on my workout for the day. I try and eat between my BMR and TDEE so that's like 1,400 - 1,600 but if I have a good workout I let myself eat a lil more.

I'm 5'2 and my goal weight is 120 but I'm noticing a good amount of you wanting your goal weights to be like 100-115. seems so small to me. I'm thinking, am I supposed to be around that size as well? I couldn't tell you if I've ever in my adult/teen life been that size. I have a small frame. I don't have big hips,booty or legs. So the smaller I get the smaller everything else on me will get smaller. *shrugs* different strokes for different folks I guess
