5'1" - 5'2" girls what is your goal weight?


Quote  |  Reply

My original goal weight was 119 but now that I'm there I'd like to get to 110.  However, my hubby thinks I am perfect right now at 118 pounds.  I'm just wondering if 110 will be super hard to maintain if I ever get there?!?

I'm 5'1" and my goal weight is also 119 (CC picked it for me).  But I'm currently at 143, so I honestly have no idea whether I'll hit 125 and decide that's good or if I'll get to 119 and decide I need to lose a few more pounds.  Numbers are meaningless.  It's how you look and how you feel about how you look that counts.  That said, the mirror is not the best tool to assess how you look.  Take some pictures of yourself and then decide.

I was told by a nutritionist that my ideal weight is 112. I am 5'2'' and that is where I feel the best with body image, confidence, and health wise.

My goal weight is 100-105 (but I'm 5'0!)

Between 104-115. But it feels so far away.

I'm 5'2, small framed, and I'll just be happy to reach 119 before September 7th (122.5 currently, so 3.5 pounds to go!)

I have a large frame, and am 5'2.5" (ever half inch counts at our height!). My goal weight is 124.

The thinest I've been was 145, and I was muscular and pretty fit, with a bit of a stomach, and more muffin top than I wanted to have.

With my frame, I know I'd look too skinny and bony, and I'd lose a lot of my muscle at 100-115.

I am currently one 174 (ugh!) and my measurements are 40-33-41. My goal is to be 32-25-33 (inches are far more important to me than my actual weight).

Since I have large hips, I think the thinnest my hip measurement could ever be is 30 inches.

 

I'm 5'1" and currently maintaining at 109-110 lbs. I tried to go to 105 more just to see if I could so it was a pretty arbitrary choice. My body stopped cooperating with the weight loss and I just didn't feel like fighting with it over 4 or 5 pounds. So I'm happy where I'm at and learning how to be in maintenance mode.

I am 5'2" n' a bit, 46 years old and probably med-large framed.    I have been as small as 102 and as hunormous as 175.  I was most comfortable in my skin when  I was about 125-130.    Now I am about 155 and aiming for 135. 

  

5'2 i went up to 118/119 last year during my first year of college and felt very uncomfortable at this weight, i felt just bloated and like i was carrying too much weight around. i was running worse and felt awful. i lost the weight and have been in the 110 range for the past 9 months or so. i can maintain 110-112 pretty easily although i am quite active. i also dipped down to 105ish while visiting Japan b/c i did a ton of walking and didn't enjoy the food too much, and had been down to about 108 from finals stress just before the trip. once i got home, meaning literally the evening i got home, i was literally stuffing food in my face. i was just SO hungry. anyway, i ate my way back to about 110 and have been maintaining 109-112 all summer.

anyway, my goal weight is 103-105 because i have a small-medium frame, but i don't know if my body is comfortable there, so if i never really get there i won't be too upset. sure if i had a reason to get there i could, but its not realy worth it to me to make any major sacrafices at the moment to get thinner!

I am 5'2 and I have a starting goal weight of 145 since that will take me into overweight category from obese according to bmi. After I get to 145, I will see how I feel and go from there.

I'm 5'2''... GW is 107. Currently, I'm 115 and I remember being in high school and loving my body at this weight. Sadly, it's not quite as peachy as I recall! I got really sick last year and dropped 20 pounds in a month. I was 127 before! College chunked me up -- I already have an hourglass figure, so I'm always going to appear a few pounds heavier than what the scale says because of my breasts and hips... so 127 was... well, it was awful. Anyway, I looooooved 107, but once I got healthy and my kidneys started liking my body again, I gradually got up to 117 and while it is a good weight for some, and healthy regardless, because of my figure and frame, it just doesn't, personally, look right. I'm curvy, but I don't feel like that's an excuse to have any excess pounds on me; I'm going to have curves at any weight.

I don't think it'll be hard to maintain, at all. As long as you don't return to the ways that got you to a place of discomfort in the first place. You've changed your lifestyle... so, keep eating properly and make sure you get in a good work out at least 3 times a week. If you notice any additional weight gain, adjust your exercise accordingly.

i am 5 '2 and sitting at 121 lbs after my second daughter was born i weighed 112 and i look back at these pics and would love to look like that again.but that was 10 years ago.my goal was and has been 116 lbs i was at my highest ever back in december and that was 137 so i am really happy to be where i am now i am small framed but have big hips my measurements are 36-28-36 i have had three babies and can not get this hips any smaller.

I'm 5'2" (158cm)

I was 112 (51) when I joined here, and wanted to get to 108 (49).

Now I'm 115 (52) and want to get to 110 (50).

I know I should just accept myself and work on maintaining, but I'm scared that I will gain more on maintainance because I have gained slightly on what was meant to be weight loss. Before I joined CC, I had already lost 13 kilograms (almost 29 pounds). Its always the last few pounds that are the hardest.

My ideal would probably be 105 pounds, but struggling to get to 110 proves that this would not be sustainable, and probably not worthwhile. I don't even know if getting to 110 would be a noticeable drop, and I would mostly be doing it for the safety blanket of knowing I can gain 5 pounds from time to time without looking too round.
