I'm 5ft 3in (actually, im 5ft 2.5in.........but saying 5ft 3in makes me feel taller...lol)......I started on 1st january 2012 at 152lb, and got down to 124lb in early May, and feel just right. I'm just trying to tone now, so that what's left (which isn't alot) is perfectly rounded where is needs to be. =0) :flowerforyou:

I'm exactly the same height!!! My starting weight was spookily near enough the same too!!!

I'm 138 at present and have a goal weight of a nice toned 130, but I'll wait till i get there to see if I look ok or need to lose more:)

My main focus is Muscle and definition as well as maintain weight. And eat clean-80-20 :-) I cracked a few ribs so my lifting and ex is off routine now, and i am lowering cals for awhile. otherwise thats how I roll;-)

I'm 5'2" (5'1.5'' but I round up too, lol), 123lbs and I have muscle and curves, which is how I like it. I fluctuate between 122-125lbs. I'm happy at my current weight and so is my boo, but I'm working on toning up more.

WOW LOVE THIS THREAD!!!
im 5'1, just started again on my diet (after a naughty morning lol)
im 26 and 165lb aiming for 130lb

not got any friends yet so would love some support from people with simular goals!

Am 5'1", 55 yrs and weight about 132. Have a tiny frame and terrible joints, so goal is around 110 with some toning. Highest ever was 185 6 years ago, did Atkins and dropped down to 150, went through a divorce and dropped into my 130's. Now working on systematic, slow weight loss.

Great to meet ya'll (as we say here in Texas!)

I'm also between 5'2'' and 5'3''- and I'm currently 214lbs. YUCK!

Working on it.

You have to consider your build when you consider your ideal weight. You MUST take muscle weight into account, and count is seperately than fat weight. That's why they give a healthy weight range for a person's height, and not a specific #.

My example:

As a child and through HS I stayed active- I had some fat for sure, but I had a lot of muscle on me too from the different things I did.

When I was 118lbs I thought I looked great- but now when I look at pictures from that size, I realize I looked sick. Literally. I looked ill, and looked like I had a "bobble head".

I was actually my healthiest at around 130lbs. I had good definition and was trim enough to be in ONE size clothing, and my head didn't look too big for my body.

I talked to a Dr about it recently, and told me point blank, that if I get under 135lbs at my current build, I'm going to loose muscle mass, because I have about 115lbs of muscle on me right now. That's not counting the weight of organs and everything else in there. The average human head weighs around 10lbs right there!

So it's not a BAD thing to focus on a target weight, but please- take into account your build.
Someone our height with a slim build who isn't muscular would be perfectly healthy at 115lbs- but that isn't my build, I'd look skeletal.

So figure out where you should be within the healthy weight range, based on your build, BEFORE you set the target #.

I'm 5'2 and currently weight 144, down from 185! Just had a baby 6 months ago and lost all of the baby weight but now I'm working on my getting back to my HS weight, which was between 130-135. I'm naturally curvy and would like to keep my shape and just add muscle. So my goal weight right now is 135. We'll see how I feel once I get there!

I am 5' 2.5" and I am starting at 225. I am down 4 lbs in the last week, but I am just starting. My goal is 135... I do not know if I can physically be that small, but we shall see. Any ideas that could help are welcomed!!!

I'm about 5'0 (really 4'11" but i don't always claim it) and i have the same end goal in mind. right now, i'd like to get to 200, which is alot of pounds away and sometimes i seriously feel like it is a lifetime away. but i'll get there! don't give up! good luck

Hi . I'm 45, 5'1 1/2" and I think I must be the only one who has always "rounded down" - lol - I always say I'm 5'1"! I started at 206 in October after being as low as 127 in 2007 & 2008, gradually gaining as I went through a lot of stress with my husband, my life, quit smoking, diagnosed with fibromyalgia, arthritis in my right foot & ankle, etc. I began MFP at 198 in January, currently 161 and my long term goal is 104 just because it's the lowest I've ever been. 118 is my "realistic goal" and 132 would be what I can probably maintain. I don't have a lot of MFP friends - I don't go searching, but am happy to have them & support the ones I do have so feel free to add me if you like! Even at my current weight, I am ecstatic to be wearing size 10's again and out of "plus size" anything!! I love zumba and running now that it's nice out, but looking forward to my Jillian Michael's and Bob Harper DVDs in the fall and winter (I don't have central air and it is just too hot inside for now).
