I'm 5'2 (almost). I started at 165 and am currently 119.8. My goal is somewhere between 108-112, wherever I feel comfortable at. I'm current in 4/6 size jeans, but I'd rather by in 4s constantly. I'd also like to be able to steal some of my sister's clothes, she has quite the collection! Once Ive lsot the weight, I'd really like to add muscle, so perhaps the weight isn't as important as fat/muscle %...
I'm 5'1" and my goal is 135, which is well over the BMI scale. But that is where I was at age 14 and 15, and my doctor at that time said that I was not fat. I think my body is too curvy to be a whole lot smaller, and I really just want to be healthy.
5'3" and my WL goal is to reach 130. Anything below 115 and i think I'd look way to thin - plus I love to eat good food with good company so I put a +15lbs. I definitely want to be a TONED 130 though. That would put me at a normal BMI for the first time in FOREVER. The way I figure, I spend 15 years of my life normal weight, 15 years overweight, and now I am going to spend the rest of my life back at a healthy weight and the knowledge on how to maintain. Easier said than done though! :-P
I'm 5'1.5" and I want to be about 125. I wish all us gals around 5'0-5'3" would post pictures of all our different weights. I would love to see all the different frames.
5'2" and still have forever to go! My goal is 125 so I can have the honor to say I've lost 100lbs, but anything within a healthy weight range. My dreams of maintenance are 125-135 and toned and fit!
Also, I'm a pear shape. My measurements right now are 36/33/41. Right now I'm in a size 12/14 (again.. ugh), but would like to get to a size 6/8.
i'm 5'2....im currently setting my goal at 130...but i'll figure it out when i get there if i like it or if i want to lose more...
I'm 5'2" and currently 131. I tell you what, I am so very happy at this weight that if I never lost another pound I'd be OK with that. I fit into my son's skinny jeans (from when he was 12!) And I can wear them with boots, legwarmers, bulky sweaters, etc., as is currently in style.
That said, however, I am still pressing in towards my goal because I want to be really, truly fit, to re-set my metabolism, and I need a few more pounds of wiggle room. I don't want to be anywhere NEAR the overweight range, even with a shiny new set of muscles added on.

I think it would be nice to see different pictures of our range 5'0-5'3 and seems like weight is about 110-145.
It boggles my mind that I can't seem to break 130.0, yet I'm wearing 2/4s. Here is my silly picture from Halloween, where I was pretending to be my crazy, yet awesome, Zumba Instructor. It's the only current one I have that shows my actual body, not as much clothing.
I am only 6 pounds away from "overweight", according to BMI. I think it's all about how we carry it, IMO.

You must have a lot of lean body mass (muscle) to weigh 130 and be in a 2/4. That will give an incorrectly high BMI. All it means is that you are an athlete! That's a good thing.
At 5'2" and 131 pounds, in addition to wearing my son's skinny jeans, I am in my larger size 6's now. But NOWHERE NEAR a 2/4!
BTW You look fabulous!

I am 5ft but I'll join in the discussion!! I put 128 as my goal because that's when I am officially not overweight. I am obese until I get under 153lbs. I would like to be 110 me thinks!! Although I've never weighed below 130 in my adult life and at 130lbs I was still chubby but a size 3 juniors.
Here is a pic from today (180.4lbs) of me documenting my progress. Jeans a size 10p and top is a Junior XL.
ChickieChicks - you look great! I agree with shr1nk1ngme, that you must have a lot of lean body mass to be a size 2/4! Either way, you look awesome!
I'm sort of having the same issue. JUST hit a healthy BMI this morning but I've been getting into 4s and 6s for a couple of pounds now.
Here's a picture of me at 146 pounds (I'm 5'3"), when I was just starting to get into some 4s, but I was mainly fitting into 6s. The dress I'm wearing is a size medium
My face is cropped out because it looked stupid in this picture, but this is the best one where you could see my body
My goal is 110ibs by June 1st or earlier. If I get to 115 and it wont budge, I'll have to re-assess my goals, I suppose. Anything above 120 is unacceptable for my height, imo.
I want a waist between 24-26 inches. Hips 9-11 inches bigger than my waist. I'm not all that concerned about my chest measurements, and I've made peace with the fact that my thighs will always be on the larger side. :x
My tape measurer says I have a 31 inch waist and 40inch hips, but all of my size 10 jeans gap at the waistband...I wear pretty cheap clothes, so I don't think it's the vanity sizing you get with more expensive jeans (the reason Kim Kardashian can claim she's a size 2...lol). But...I guess you never know! Some brands, I can wear an 8 comfortably...now THAT is vanity sizing. lol
And FunSize? You carry your weight really well...I'm jealous. I did NOT look that good at 180. D: And I'm a whole inch taller!

Sontaikle- Wowza...same to you. All these pics make me seriously question those BMI charts. :/
Thank you all so much for posting pics. I think it is CRUCIAL to see and recognize that height and weight are completely arbitrary. Maybe we should all pick a comfortable clothing size or measurments instead.
