I'm 5'2" and curious as to what other people my height's goal weight is-- this is what my Nut told me.

 

I should get down to 110 lbs. because after 2 years, I will have a regain and I will end up weighing around 120-125.  First, I can't even begin to see myself at 110 lbs. and not to mention I'm 43-- not 23..

Well, I'm 5'1, & my NUT told me to get to 120. I still have 20 lbs to go, and I couldnt imagine having to get to 110! I can barely imagine 120! Actually, I still cant believe I made it to 140 lbs. But Im working to get to 120 because of the bounce back ive heard people have.

Hi, I just turned 53 and I am 5`1"          

I will be 5 years out this MAY 2013

At 2 yrs out I was 127 and stayed there for a year, size 6 jeans............felt and looked great.......then for some reason I started losing again and dropped to 120...........down to size 4, still felt and looked great..........

I am currently at 130 however that is a 10 lb gain..from bad eating the past year.

I was very comfortable at 120, I did get as low as 112, but I wasn`t eating enough at that time...

110 sounds a little low to me........but everyone is different and I felt really good at 120........size  4 jeans.........a brand or two I wore a size 2........now I amsize   6........need to get back on track and shed the 10 lbs.

Good Luck

How far out are you?

I am 5'3" and 49 years old. My goal is 145 - my profile pic is about 190 - I can't imagine weight much less than that. I was 138 in college (for about a minute) and I didn't look good.

I am 8 weeks out as of this week.

 

I'm good at 120-- and I feel happy getting to that goal weight.  I honestly wanted to push her out of her chair when she said 110... lol

I don't go by the "charts" or what other people say I "should" be....I go by what I feel comfortable at and can maintain.  I'm 5'2 and would love to get down to 140.  I would NEVER be able to get down to 110 or even 120 and for sure wouldn't be able to maintain.  I want to look healthy, athletic...NOT emaciated.  It's up to you...it's your body.

I am 5'2" and my highest weight was 329 lbs. My surgeon's goal is 125 lbs and my PCP's goal is (what seems to me) much more realistic at 140 lbs. I am 4 months out and am at about 194 lbs right now. My first persomal goal is to be at 160 by summertime

I was 5'2" (I think I was stretching it but that's what my surgeon used).  I'm actually 5'1 right now and I'll tell you 110 lbs on my body made me look sick and I was wearing a kids size 14 or size 00 Junior pants.  My face aged significantly.  I'm currently between 118-120 and look much better here.  I wear size 2-4-6 (womens) 3-5-7 (juniors) size small or medium shirt ****asionally size large on button ups).

I'm 48 and considered petite.

Want to add my surgeon does set goals.....he had mine set at 130 lbs which gave me a normal BMI (based on charts).

I am 5'2" and my surgeon's goal for me is 136. I am now 191, down from a highest weight of 263. I think I can make it to 136, but I'm not sure I want to be any skinnier than that. I'll have to see how it goes, I'm only 14 weeks out.
